CLATTENBERG RETURNS

He's a failure are a man, a slippery snide in business I believe and as a ref. makes Giggs look like a salt of the earth fella.
 
Let's cast aside the accusations and try to look at the Derby match he reffed coldly.

1. He declined to send Kuyt off for a dreadful tackle on Neville which our (idiot) captain didn't make anywhere near enough of. Even if we say he wasn't brilliantly positioned (certainly possible but not really true) it was a 95% sure Red card.. so 5% of the time a neutral might agree based on the limited (actual) contact.

2. From 30 plus yards away he decides
(1) Hibbert fouls Gerrard - could easily have been viewed as a 50-50 with the attacker leaning in on the defender - so again a sure case of rough justice - 25% decision at best
(2) He sees it as in the box (some would argue there was plenty of contact outside the box - a 10% decision at best from 30+ yards away (and I've seen players fouled at the Park End - inside the box - and not given as a penalty but a free kick outside - from 90 YARDS AWAY.. so again, a judgement call and highly critical one on top of the (perhaps justifiable red card if it was a foul at all)..
(3) The red card decision seems obvious in the light of his decision to penalise Everton (whether rightly or wrongly)

3. He misses a clear handball in the build up to the winner - at least a 20% call

4. He misses 2 decent penalty calls for us - I find these the most debatable calls as it's easy, as a neutral, to argue Lescott and Victor were trying to make something where nothing existed by backing into their opponents - so I'd say 50-50

So, my objective call - not through Blue Tinted Glasses - is that of the 5 key decisions he made (or didn't) - if you were "backing five outsiders (horses) and expecting all five to come in.. your £1 would return something like £10,000 based on my numbers - now either that's a mighty bad referee or the stars collided for a once in 300 year event (the number of games Everton have played in their history is just over 5,000) and we were just extraordinarily unlucky (and in a local Derby to boot)..
 
I posted Clattenburg corruption on google out of curiosity, see who else was giving him grief out there on the internets.

Second link in the search results page was a thread on a red****e forum "Mark Clattenburg and Manchester United" (you can probably guess what they go on to insinuate in the thread). I would have laughed out loud, but that match still makes my blood boil so I just stared at it in disbelief. Kopites really are ********s.
 
The fact that this cnut is still reffing PL matches and has been given this game vs Southampton , tells you all you need to know about the result. The powers that be that control things have decided enough is enough and pesky, plucky everton need to be reminded of their second tier financial status.
Clattenburg WILL cheat...that is why he has been appointed.

Don't forget he pulled out a yellow card, a Liverpool player widely respected as one of England's 'heroes' (despite winning nothing at all, so really because of his feats at Liverpool for some reason) said 'something' to the ref and that yellow became red.

Shows the deal with the devil is gone, as that physio's similar attempt this year would definitely have worked in 2007
