Seems the agenda is dying down a bit in recent weeks. Decent refs, positive articles, pundits gushing in their praise. Whatever next?
I remember thinking she was wrong to flag Micah Richards offside when we lost 1/0 at Swansea but she was spot onShe's the best lino
I think words have been had in high places. I just wonder if someone at the club has been compiling a dossier and just decided enough is enough. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we had enough evidence to accuse the PiGMOL of cheating or corruption; certainly enough to make them squirm.Or maybe some contributors’ previous paranoia was over the top?

After Walker and Sterling saw red earlier this season we seem to be getting a fair rub of the green. You have to admit, last season and early this season there were some very strange refereeing decisions against us, and for our rivals. To an extent, Chelsea seem to still be benefiting from some weird decisions. Hazard again yesterday. Clearly should have been a goal kick, but the resulting corner led to the opening goal for them.
I just hope a corner has been turned, and we can start to sense the whiff of corruption drifting away from the game. Last season, it was stinking the place out.
You mean the one the ref gave from his much better position nowhere near the line?Apart from the lady who didn't flag for a throw-in to us when the ball was about a yard out if play around block 107.
He was at 90 degree's to it and got it right but it was poor from her, apart from that I thought all the officials did really well, that said I've seen no mention/replay of the 'scrap' down the other end in the first half.You mean the one the ref gave from his much better position nowhere near the line?
It didn't look out from the second tier at the north end. Maybe she told him her view was obscured.
Won't last long, they are already gearing up to get Bernardo banned for 2 gamesSeems the agenda is dying down a bit in recent weeks. Decent refs, positive articles, pundits gushing in their praise. Whatever next?
Yes. I'm not surprised it goes on, but for Clattenberg to openly admit it......Sorry if in the wrong place. But, did anyone read the article about an interview with Clattenberg yesterday?
Apparently best refs use context and balance in their refereeing. In other words, if they are made to feel they got something wrong in the first half, then they can make up for it 2nd half. And is the reason we cannot get consistency.
I need to go in a dark room and think this through, but immediate thought was that this is so wrong.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Bring on instant replay and let the refs make sure that match-changing calls are correct.

If I remember correctly Clatterbug didn't use balancing when the spuds beat us 4-1 a couple of seasons ago. Miles offside in the first half for their equaliser and then another offside at a free kick in the second half for their third.Shame the ref in the Everton game who wrongly binned off Walker in the first half did not correct his error by sending an Everton player off in the second half.
I think balancing does go on but not all the time, I wonder if some clubs benefit more than others from balancing??
