Anyone see his ten second Bruce Forsyth impression during the game. I wonder what the odds were on him doing that between the 60th and 70th minutes in the far east.

Someone senior at the club needs to make a very public statement about all the curious decisions made recently

A good referee runs the game in a way that you don't notice them, Clattenburg loves the camera being on him, you can tell with his over stated pointing and waving, I bet he's still sat there this morning convinced he did a 10 out of 10 performance.

Mike Wedderburn could hardly squeeze more venom into his 'Clattenberg' pronunciation on SSN this morning.
Overly protected by the FA, the PL, and the Ref's Association.
Ref's should go in-front of the media like Manager's and Player's have to, to explian their decisions.
Of course this will never happen because the Grey suited Men who run football in this country don't want it to happen.

Until last year I was working with a colleague who is a Championship Referee. He had previously been a Premier League Assistant, but decided he wanted to be the main man and eventually try himself to be selected for the Premier League as a Referee, so the only way for him to do this was to return to a period of refereeing in League 1/2 and the Championship.
Anyway, to the point, my friend was selected to be 4th official at an FA Cup tie that Clattenburg was officiating and saw this as a wonderful chance to see how select referees operated. Suffice to say from start to finish he was unimpressed. At one point Clattenburg went missing for 30 minutes only to announce he'd been seeing a few old friends, the pre match brief (where the ref advises his assistants on how he likes to operate) was non existent, but the best part was when it was only noticed in the captains team sheet brief that the 2 shirts the away goalkeeper had brought where the same colour as the home team shirt and the home team keeper's shirt. The only option was for the home keeper to change his shirt, however that clashed with the shirts Clatenburg and his team had brought. Anyway the story goes that the captains of both teams were not impressed as what should have been a 5 minute brief went on for around 15 minutes while minions of the home team scuttled around looking for a goalkeeper shirt that didn't clash and had the name of their keeper playing that day on it.
In short this was all down to Clatttnburg fucking off to have a social and not briefing any of the other officials who had never worked with him what be wanted doing. Needless to say my friend has a rather dim view of him.
Wonder if Daniel Levy is an old friend!

And singing away to Ed Sheeran, why do you never notice referees with black eyes the following weekend after a shit game? Some one from some wronged club he's officiated a game in must see him out and have words with him.
That lines man in the second half is another one who loves the sky cameras on him, he was the one telling our players to go and clap our fans in view of the camera and mic at the Emirates a couple of seasons back.

The last four big games he's refereed us in:
Arsenal away - foul on Aguero, missed a blatant handball.
United away - Offside goal.
Spurs away - Two offside goals.
Spurs Home - Ridiculous penalty that he couldn't see.
Not saying he's bent, just shite.

The biggest insult to this prick would be to ignore him and not acknowledge who the prick is

feckin bastard,in black....!!!!!!!!
Has the cheating in tennis, cricket etc been done with guile? Has it not been seen by millions?
Yes you duck egg and it's been exposed which is precisely my point, corruption amongst football referees would have been exposed long ago if there was enough evidence..
If there were facts do you not think that the British tabloid press would be all over them? They are not exactly renowned for their gentlemanly, easygoing attitude to sxandal and this would be the biggest story in UK sport since 1966 (the year a dodgy Russian linesman won the World Cup for England)
These blog articles make fascinating reading as do the anecdotes about 'secret dossiers' but there's no actual....what do you call them?...facts, you lot would be a riot on jury service, 'Guilty, his eyes are too close together and he looks a bit, you know...shifty'.
Anyway, a friend of a friend read something on Facebook written by this bloke who knows a man that works at the pub near the refs house and he swears that the fix is in for City to beat Liverpool 2 - 1 at Wembley so I'm off down the Post Office as soon as it opens to cash in all my Postal Orders, I'm gonna get me some easy winnings, or Clattenbergs as they are known 'round my way
See you all in North London on the 28th, I'll be drinking in Harrow before the game and I'll be easy to spot as I'll be the one wearing the full refs kit...pop over and buy me a pint and I'll tell you a secret.

Isn't he regarded as one of the top referees in the country? There's no hope for football officiating if it's true.
Would have been nice to see one of our players go Sunday league on him and drive on to the pitch in a battered old transit van used for plastering to run him over.

If people think the game is fixed for City to lose the big games then why do you still watch? As soon as I thought Chinese betting syndicates were ruining games with the referee i'd stop bothering.

It gets petty when we say oh he missed a foul etc. Offsides you can't lay at the referees door either. That's whilst we also forget KDB being offside on his goal but because it was the least obvious one we forget it. Yesterday however was a farce and he couldn't wait to give it.
