Without Clattenburg being a bell piece, we wouldn't have witnessed Eric Dier behaving like only I would dream of doing given the circumstances against them scum bags. As seen here..
Also I played in a game 2 years ago reffed by a well known premier league ref. Without boring you with how he came about reffing it, the night before our game he'd reffed a Man City premier league game. Well that match and the conversations we had with him were such an eye opener. He talked openly about players who were really hard to deal with which was fascinating. But my main point is during the game I was getting constantly fouled by an opposition player. After maybe 5 times he was booked. Said premier league ref had a word in my ear as the game was playing and said the exact words "if you're going to smash him make sure it's not a red". I asked him after if he would say that in a premier league game to which he said absolutely and it's extremely common.
I've played at decent semi pro level and never experienced it before.

He said he went in there with a game plan. What was that game plan, to let the game flow? How did he know our players would react in such a way to getting wound up. He did us a favour by not sending our players off. He is right though, we lost that game all on our own.
This is just some attention grabbing from mark.

I'd guess that he was protecting himself from both sets of fans.

Well I agree with this bit. We and only we were to blame for drawing that game, because we were 2-0 up in 1st half injury time and the better team despite what was going on.
Letting the game flow though is making allowances for a few mistimed tackles. That game was down right nasty and he lost control of it, seemingly of his own making.

You guys might not agree with me on this, but i kinda see the example you gave as being a good thing. Allows for the game to be a contact sport and also shows the ref knew you were being fouled a lot by the other lad and wouldn't be completely against you having a dig back
Hmmm thinking about it, maybe i am just reading it the same way as everyone else is and I'm spewing a blatantly obvious opinion

It could have well been our fault to let the two-goal lead slipped. But this fucker ref was effectively saying he had allowed his decisions to influence the emotions and subsequently turned out of the game. And he truly did that, so the narratives after the game could come close to what he envisaged.
If that was not match-fixing, I don't know what was. There could be so many implications thereafter for he was realising a personal thought conjured by himself that was acting against the rules of the game.
People could dismissed this as a grain of salt, but it could similarly be well a historic turn of events.

I've just listened to the extract of the interview. What an absolute **** that man is.
I still don't believe this was a "game plan" just a shit referee turning "I lost control of a big game" into "look at me, aren't I clever, I won Leicester the title"
But think about it, as @Trix said above, by being lenient with us, we only had to score one more or hold onto a two goal lead and then one goal lead to stay in the title race, and he actually helped our chances of doing that.
Either way, bullshit or true, it's a fucking idiotic thing for a referee to say.

The guy has always been the biggest refereeing cocknocker. My opinion of him has never changed, always felt he was the worst referee on the roster.

I certainly didn't bother me. I was going to leave a foot in regardless of what he said. The fact he did say it I think shows us, and reminds us that they are human and have emotions. Yes they should be professional and I totally get that, but he was clearly a normal guy who was getting annoyed by it. Clattenburg is just a prick. Simple. Likes and wants be the centre of attention.
With the Chelsea game, having invested a lot of time and money into watching us over the years, I still stand by that game as one that I will remember, for me, for the right reasons. Because above all else it showed the lads cared. I don't care about them being professional, young kids watching etc, in recent years my love for the game has got less, through players earnings, lack of loyalty etc. But for them 90 minutes Vs Chelsea they played like 11 men who loved the club. Kick my mate and I'll kick you attitude. And as I said at the time, I thought it was both beautiful and justified.

This is a divisive issue within our fan-base.
Some folk genuinely believe that our players should have held it together and seen out the game - no matter what the result.
Personally, knowing how much provocation we had prior to the game, the way Clattenburg was so lenient with Chelsea players from the off, and just the plain fact that the Chavs had been bullying, hacking and just constantly niggly-fouling us out of games for years (and getting away with it), I agree with you 100%!

There is that aspect of it, too. What if we had eleven players on the pitch because of his game-plan and got a last minute winner. Leicester could have lost the league on those decisions he made (ignoring everything that also should have been clamped down on).
Right from the off Clattenburg was making decisions to not punish incidents that deserved it. It led to a heightening of the tensions. And one way or another was going to affect the outcome.
I haven't mentioned the full article. does he mention the incidents, particularly in the first half, where he could have punished the Chelsea players but didn't? Or his he just playing to the crowd by talking about our indiscretions?

Between what Clattenberg has said and Fibreglass basically admitting live on Sky sports MNF before we played them that he'd throw their game against Leicester on the last day of the season if bit meant Spurs not winning the title.
If we went into that Chelsea game and nobody had pointed out the Spanish wankers prior TV appearance then it was naive at best.
Everybody bought into the great underdogs win the league storyline that consciously or sub-consciously even the officials started handing out cupcakes to them even with half the season to go.
The first title/trophy this team wins is going to be the toughest.
Anyway fuck Clusterfuck, fuck Fibreglass and fuck Chelsea

I wouldn't call it lenient, I'd call it cheating(deliberately not playing by the rules to affect the outcome of a game). Had he said he wasn't sure until he saw the replays it would have been different, but he doesn't he clearly says he ignored three straight red card decisions deliberately.
Cheating C**T!!!

We lost the fucking plot that night. Though seeing Dier kick the shit out of the scum and tell Fabrigas he’d see him down the tunnel and Fabrigras shit himself almost makes it worth it.
