If we knew what the 'what do you think of that' part is all about then maybe... I imagine most refs booked Bellamy last year didn't they?
I agree, maybe not the wisest thing to allow yourself to be overheard, but it's the sort of conversation I think would be repeated at every ground.
Not really proof of the conspiracy everyone is so keen on though.
Its proof of bias though I would say. Would any other ref have booked Bellamy for diving when it was a blatant foul on him? Hard to say, but a ref that 'wasnt keen' on said player by his own admission would....

I can only give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven't read the thread bout what Hughes heard them saying...if you have, are you actually suggestin that he is disgraceful for questioning their integrity..?

Is it? Look at our response when he questioned Wileys fitness - disgraceful. Unacceptable. When are the FA going to do something about it.
I'd rather have my fitness questioned than my integrity as a ref.

I have read the thread. What I am saying is that if Ferguson made the same comments this place would be going ballistic.
And from a personal point of view, if Hughes has a concern about Clattenburgs integrity he should report him to the FA, not make snidey comments in the press that will achieve nothing but detract attention from another shit result.

The most important thing at the mo, is to determine if the comments are true... we need some confirmation that wigley has actually said he heard this.. and if Hughes heard too, then the 2 of them are not going to be lying and have to be taken seriously.
Until this happens, nothing can be done, but if Wigley confirms it then we must make sure all hell breaks loose... and as for those that say there's nothing wrong with the officials sayin this....well..say no more

Re: Battenburg: Likes And Doesn't Like Our Players. S/H Chat...
I've gotta disagree with you. Fergie WOULD get lambasted but only because he is a disgrace in that his way of accepting defeat is to blame the referee who 9 times out of 10 has had an average match. The Wiley case in particular was a personal attack on a referee who was so obviously innocent that Fergie came out and had to backtrack on what he had said.
In this case, Hughes is rightly questioning the referee AND his officials for making so many crucial mistakes. He is right to highlight Clattenburg and co's mistakes today unlike Ferguson who does it everytime they lose.

I have no problems with him questioning the referee, although my personal preference is that a City manager talks about how we will improve, how we performed, where we didn't do so well rather than things outside our control.
I just think he went beyond comments on a referees performance today.
