Just found out that Clattenburg is our ref this weekend, someone at the FA clearly fancies himself as a comedian

I still can't believe he is a UEFA referee.

Mind you having said that at least in European games he isn't allowed to take charge of man yoo games.

Doesn't somebody make this thread with every single referee? We may as well just sticky a thread with "A Premier League referee will referee our next Premier League game, why us!?!" It will save us a lot of typing in the long run.

Yay us!

Atkinson is the fourth official in the Newcastle - Stoke game. Just to let those wondering, like me, if he was going to be moved down to Blue Square North/South. I'm willing to bet he'll be refereeing next round. FA = Bunch of clowns.

*Sigh* it is depressing when we get these referee threads but unfortunately it really does matter to us. Clattenburg is a twat and I can see him giving one of our lads a suspicious red card and a stupid penalty. Fuck me it's only Tuesday and I am angry at this game already ;p

The problem is that no matter which ref they give us, we are going to be unhappy because he is bound to be a ref who has fecked us over...because they have all fecked us over :eek:

He's only fourth official because he's refereeing an Olympic qualifier on Monday.

And what's with the avatar copying? :p

Sorry about that, I just changed mine yesterday! I've been using a black and white picture of Klinsmann for a while, but it was destroyed when SC changed to the new design. :)

I'll try to find a different pic!

I love these threads. Referees are not biased against us or for us. They are not biased for Arsenal or against Arsenal. They are not (consciously) biased for Man Utd.

They are the best referees in the country. There aren't 20 better referees down in the FL. If there we're they would work their way to the top like Webb and Atkinson. The guys in charge want the best referees in England doing these games. Of course in this absurd world we live in fans will always blame the lowest paid person on the field instead of their own players who are supposed to be some of the best in the world at what they do who make dozens of mistakes a game.

Not like Twattenburg has over recent years, we have the same thread every time we have him and there's always a few who say that it doesn't matter all refs are the same, but mark my words there will be a thread about his poor performance after the game, I just hope it's not bad enough to effect the result.

The guy shouldn't even be refereeing, he got a lifetime ban because of his corrupt dealings and issuing death threats, but the PGMOL didn't have the balls to uphold it when Twattenburg got his legal team onto them, is this really somebody who should be in charge of a professional football match, let alone in the biggest league in the world?

No worries, I was only joking, just thought I was going mad for a minute because I knew I hadn't commented on the thread.

Yeah, and to be honest this picture confuses me as well, because I've been using this old avatar since I started my forum career (not here) a very, very long time ago. I hadn't seen your avatar when I changed, but I must say I like the picture. :)

Heh, Phil Dowd loves the fact that Clattenburg exists. Takes the heat off him.
