I just wonder how many of the so-called 'elite' PiGMOL refs would have given that pen? If as many wouldn't as would, then it's inconclusive and it shouldn't be given.
We need to nail referees down and they should be required to explain every sending off and every penalty. Some of the sendings off and pens would be pretty obvious, but some, like the one yesterday would provide a very interesting explanation!!
You didn't need a bloody replay to tell he had his back turned when the ball hit him!!!!!Interviewer: Mark, can you talk us through the penalty decision?
Clattenburg: I thought it was a penalty but looking at the replay I clearly got it wrong and I apologise.
Interviewer: Thanks Mark
Fascinating stuff.
Referees should go in front of the camera and explain their thought process behind the decision making.
And yesterday no matter my bias towards city.
the first question would have been where did the ball strike sterling for the penalty?
Waited for his answer and then showed a video replay and say well you were obviously guessing as you were in no position to see it and it clearly hits him in the ribs first then bounced up and skins his elbow.
Make him out to be the cheater he is. If the refs got interviewed like that after every contentious decision, We'd soon see fairer games.
But as theyre very well protected and believe they're God's gift they're allowed to make teams drop points without punishment.
But we know it will never happen as there's to much money in the sport
So you consider my post as "drivel" and therefore see fit to be insulting? You need to have a word with yourself.I'm sure you're a delightful chap, well educated and holding down an excellent position; sadly, as I don't know you personally I can only really go on the evidence to hand, you posted some drivel relating to a post that I had already responded to so forgive me for appearing short.

Liar.
Naive I think, a significant proportion of these so - called journalists are pretty much on the pay roll of the traditional big clubs, they act as mouthpieces for Rags, Dippers, Arse, Chelsea & Spuds, for them to call out corruption in football would open a can of worms. The media is as corrupt as many others in the establishment (just look at how they feed out the political agenda) never mind football.Well I don't wish to labour the point but if there was a scrap of evidence pointing towards corruption in the game at this level then these very same journalists would be all over it in a heartbeat...a story like this would be career defining for any journalist and in these days of decreased 'paper sales it would be manna from heaven for the press.
