just watching motd and he really was wank wasn't he that referee
Peter Walton is set to continue as a Premier League referee after being cleared of blame for Liverpool's controversial penalty equaliser on Monday.
David Ngog has been accused of taking a deliberate dive to earn the spot-kick from which Rafa Benitez' side secured a 2-2 draw with Birmingham at Anfield on Monday.
But, despite reports to the contrary, Walton has not been made to carry the can for the incident and will remain under consideration for top flight games after the international break.

In fairness, we took it from about 15 yards away from the foul. They took it from the spot. And that Kompany challenge may have been fair, but I can see why he gave it, the way he went in.
As for the other decisions, though... Baffled, to say the least.
How Torres got booked when the same happened five or six times unpunished was odd. How he missed the assault on Barry from five yards away, looking directly at it, was reminiscent of the one he missed of Skrtel on Jo in the same fixture last season. How neither side got a penalty (credit to Benayoun, though - put Gerrard or Torres there and would they have kept their footing?) was a mystery. Clear and blatant fouls were missed all round, while non-fouls were frequently given.
