Doesn't help that they referee different competitions even nationally let alone UEFA/FIFA ones differently.

& it's the anomalies that I'm discussing. I saw Clattenburg wave play on when a shot clearly hit a Leicester players hand on Friday, I remember him ignoring several handballs when we played the dippers for their title then we remember the Sterling pen against Spurs.
I think some you can read like Oliver not giving decisions yet he gave us that pen against west ham. These are the sort of decisions he won't normally give.
I'd use this to say don't get frustrated or how do we identify it to plant the seed but that's a GPC tactic.
well all it means is that the anomalies stand out and you get to see games where the result clearly mattered enough for the referee to change their usual pattern of behaviour.
The funny thing about Oliver is he is now making those decisions this season, but sometimes when it suits, and he is getting an enormous amount of top 6 team games and TV games as well, disproportionately so.

How the hell did Chelsea get that penalty tonight? I know Costa missed it but bloody hell. If we got given penalties for that sort of a challenge, we'd get 3 spot kicks every game.

I couldn't quite believe that every time they showed a replay they said it was a definite pen - wasn't a pen in a million years imo.How the he'll did Chelsea get that penalty tonight?

Dive all day long, Clattenburg definitely favoured Chelsea tonight but I'll take away that central midfielder Milner was by far the worst player on the pitch.

Funny how he kept drifting into left back from the middle.

Referees seem to me like failed school teachers. Nice try but not good enough.
