You'll find he's upset just about every club (bar the shi'ite) in the PL at one time or another in the last 8 years.

He's a nincompoop. And he's not very good at being one of them.

I think every ref has upset every club somepoint in his time?!

Not to the extent he has, and not with the alarming frequency. It seems he can't go more than a few games without some controversy attached.

Dowd is the best ref I reckon, followed by Oliver. Clattenburg and Atkinson, while they've been scum to us in the past and seem like idiots, are probably the best of a bad bunch other than that. Marriner and Mason are the worst.

It was Dowd that sent GARY Neville off,for kicking the ball at the young Evertonian,
I agree with you mate.

Aye, I remember him sending Terry off for a tackle on Osman as well. Seems like he doesn't give the big names preferential treatment like some.

...iffy.

He's the one ref I'm certain is corrupt. The others you can say "yeah, fine, maybe just incompetent", like Lee Mason. But for me Clattenburg has certainly been on the take.

Proving it is another matter obviously.

Flattening is decidedly dodgy.

Gave us almost every call today, Baines in particular was very lucky to not get carded for several challenges.

Why is he allowed to carry on refereeing Premier League matches?

Hang on, don't answer that.

Blame the way the Premier League organise their officials. They hire a private company of refs who govern themselves. Little wonder someone like Clattenburg - a ref who's had a dodgy financial past - gets to be a top ref.
