CLATTENBERG RETURNS

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

Can someone check on Dave please, he may be requiring CPR.

I imagine the FA asked if it was ok and Martinez said no problem. I always remember Hanson laughing on MOTD at the nonsense of some of those decisions. The whole footballing community knew we were robbed.

God looking at him makes me want to punch a wall

 

[deipnosophist]

Yes, but Clattenberg is beyond that - he's actually corrupt. Convinced of it.

I am convinced as well...this man has been bought. And the coincidence that he has been given this game (which is for an unbeaten calendar year in League games) tells me that the powers that be have decided Everton can not have that record. Ruined my Christmas this appointment has. And I am also now not going away on holiday. Everything, EVERYTHING, has been spoiled

Has Clattenberg reffed any Man Utd games since Moyes went there?

Genuine question, does anyone know?

Hanson wouldn't have laughed if the +++++had been on the end of it, has to be the worst refereeing I have seen.

Looks like I'll have to miss this if true, in Cambridge with my girlfriend's extended family.

God I hate him, I hate him so much. The horrible, corrupt, snide, Kopite ****.

Refereeing the Southampton game at Goodison.

If you support Southampton you'd be very disturbed at that appointment. This feller knows he has to pay some penance after the last time he reffed at Goodison. He knows he has to bend the stick our way on the day. It's only human nature you'd act like that.

Good news for us this.

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

A bit paranoid that. Unless I am missing something, you seriously think that whoever appoints refs to a match gives a toss about our home record?

Could look at it the other way as well however. Everyone knows he screwed us over in the derby, but rather than lean towards us he could lean the other way. His thinking being ..if I go easy on Everton people will realise I am trying to make up for it, But, if I go hard on Everton it will look as if I have nothing to feel guilty about.

...I honestly think its a disgrace this bloke has slipped back into the game. Almost as if the powers that be kept his profile low for a while and then gradually introduced him. It might not do us any good, but we are Everton and we are principled so let him and everybody else know how we feel. Should ensure a great, hostile atmosphere.

It's conceivable. He'd have a fairly large microscope placed over his dealings with Everton though...and I get the impression this ref is quietly trying to rehabilitate himself and wouldn't fancy revisiting that issue.

At the very least I expect an even playing field, which will be enough for us anyway.
