Mr Clattenburg / The FA {merged}

[CBlue]

its a shame we cant unite with the aston villa fans in singing,

1 cheating bastard,
there`s only 1 cheating bastard,
1 cheating bastard,
there`s only 1 cheating bastard.


preferably before a ball is kicked

Why cant we?

I'd be very surprised if they didn't join in

 

[BlueBas]

So what are the FA going to do about it? They've come out & said that they're not going to punish Rooney, so surely they must punish Clattenburg by pushing him in to lower leagues as a punishment. But, no, the same FA that want video line technology for the goal against Germany in the World cup refuse to review and punish violent behaviour or the ref that condones it.

I`m afraid that we as good as out of the fa cup, as soon as this corrupt twat was apointed the fa`s work is done.He wont allow us to beat villa.

Imagine the storm if that happens.

clattenberg should be kicked out of the game, this twat being on a football pitch brings the game into disrepute.

if anyone can get on the villa forum and put it to there travelling fans we could all sing it.

cheat and liars like this bloke are changing results in games and can decide who gets promoted, relegated and who wins silverware.

it a fucking disgrace.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I should imagine that the moment Crappenberg steps on the pitch for his warm up, the rather sparse crowd in at that time will give him both barrels. And then he'll probably have one of our back four off three minutes after kick off for timewasting..

Like Phil Dowd in last years Carling cup final who refused to send Vidic off after 4 mins for a professional foul (against Villa)

 

[Plain Speaking]

The more times you see this incident the more ridiculous the final decision appears to be.
The part that infuriates me most is the cuddle Shrek got from Clattenburg.
Fair play to Brazil(talksport) as well as sky to a lesser degree banging on about it.
The Scum should take some internal action and drop him for 2 games.
We cannot let this drop and really need to take this as far as we can no matter how futile.
One big collective E Mail to the FA ETC ETC

If you go on the FA website there is a link to the respect campaign where you can put comments. Lots of Liverpool fans have been adding their views. All City fans should do the same.

It seems they are of broadly the same opinion as us. why wouldn't they be? They just want a fair playing field after all.

I agree with the general sentiment but shouldnt we wait wait for him to make a dodgy decision first. The last thing I would want is for him to put us out of the cup with a dodgy sending off or penalty out of spite.<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 01, 2011 2:22 pm --<br /><br />Interesting article in Telegraph about Clattenburg today, sorry if its been posted elsewhere:
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/8353791/Referee-Mark-Clattenburg-has-a-rich-talent-for-controversy.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... versy.html</a>
"...The row over Wayne Rooney’s blatant elbow on James McCarthy on Saturday — for which Clattenburg awarded merely a free-kick, a decision he yesterday maintained was the correct one, so preventing the England striker facing further punishment — is not the first of the 35 year-old’s decisions to come under scrutiny.
In 2005, when he had been refereeing in the Premier League for a matter of months, he failed to award Tottenham’s Pedro Mendes a goal at Old Trafford, despite replays clearly showing the ball had crossed the line by a considerable distance.
The following day, Fifa were forced to reiterate their stance against the use of video replays during games. Just six years after his debut in the Football League, Clattenburg’s ability to place himself in the eye of the storm was becoming clear.
His performance in a Merseyside derby in 2007 suggested that perhaps his development as an elite official was not yet complete. A series of hotly-debated decisions, including apparently sending off Tony Hibbert after consulting Steven Gerrard, and failing to award Everton the injury-time penalty that would have earned David Moyes’s side a point, attracted fierce criticism. The Football Association duly removed him from front-line duty for one round of games. Clattenburg has not refereed an Everton game since.
Even that match, though, does not represent the low point of Clattenburg’s career; instead, it is the eight-month ban he served after allegations emerged on the eve of the 2008 Community Shield, a game he was due to officiate, that he had sent a former business associate a threatening email.

The FA launched an internal investigation into alleged debts of almost £175,000 sustained when he ran two electrical firms and then, after receiving an anonymous letter, into his personal life. Clattenburg, who denied all the accusations, was initially handed a life ban, which was reduced on appeal. He returned to the Premier League at the end of the 2008/09 season.

He retains an ability to attract attention, however. Harry Redknapp labelled his decision to allow a goal scored by Nani at Old Trafford in November “one of the worst” ever made.

His handling of the Rooney incident, on the field and in his report to the FA, will hardly enhance his reputation..."

I think he'll do that anyway, like he has in every game involving us and him in recent memory. Why wait? Make his time on the pitch untenable. Leave it to our team to make the football count while we work on wrecking Clattenburgs career AND supporting City.
