IMO there is no worse referee than him. He has an amazing ability to lose control in even the smallest game. There is no referee who makes more mistakes than him.
I say this now because i'm growing frustrated at the standard of his refereeing in the Man Utd vs Spurs game. It's half-time nowand he has booked 5 players. He is awarding free-kicks against United because the Spurs side are taking aim at the Uniteds players hands! He once again seems to have lost all control.
If there is controversy in the premiership he's behind it. Examples:
-Pedro Mendes' "goal" vs United
-The 1st Merseyside derby this year.
Feel free to add more. I know he's irritated a lot of you in some way.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!

City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Its on Setanta and Spurs are all over Utd, Keane shoudl have made it two
In Trap we trust
Nani lucky to stay on the pitch there, could easily have been a red.
In Trap we trust
C'MON HAVE SOME A THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Clattenburg handled the 2nd half better but he's still a crap ref
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
he was said to be one of the better up and coming referees in the league when he startd, he has gone downhill though. 10 bookings in a game is bad, booked rooney for diving then a few minutes later huddlestone dives and he just tells him get up. no consistency.
Spurs looked good, they shut down United for long periods. Giggs and Scholes were anonymous throughout. Ferguson gave credit to Spurs in the interview.
And even though they had 7 booked, I thought only Brown's was debatable, and Nani's tackle was a shocker.
Spurs could have had a couple more booked.
Keane should have won it.
speaking of consistency what about the arsenal man city game, fabregas boots the balls away when moaning, doesnt get booked, and petrov later kicks the ball away a shorter distance with more reason to be annoyed than fabregas and does get booked. Annoying or what.Originally Posted by feo123
Clatteneberg was terrbile in the united game i thought.

Speaking of bad refs. hat about Rob Styles in the Liverpool vs Sunderland match.
Carragher charges down Murphy's shot with his hands. No Penalty.
Nosworthy takes the ball in what was an agressive challenge but HE DID WIN THE BALL. Penalty.
Again no consistency.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
I am biased, but do not see how that game is proof of anything really. Is stopping a goalscoring opportunity not a red card? Is Phil Neville handling the ball not a penalty?
Because some people made a fuss about not giving Everton 'a fair chance' i.e. penalties that shouldn't be awarded, he's adjudged poor.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
All the cards again. That game had 12 yellows if i remember.
One of the yellows received by Man Utd had repprecussions. Wayne Rooney out of the Manchester Derby.

Robbie Keane is a disgrace to his country. He chased the ball down numerous times today putting Vidic and others under pressure the whole time. Yet when he puts on the green shirt he does **** all and expects everything done for him. Hopefully Trappatoni will sort his attitude towards Ireland out.
United extremely lucky to get something out of the game, shocking performance.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
I think under stan all players performances dropped and attitudes dropped, bar kilbane finnan and given alot should be out to prove to themselves and the country what they can do, and i suppose that it was down to stan not them. Anyway back on topic, clattenberg is a disgrace.

why did he book ronaldo? all he done was point as his hand and say he couldnt move out of the way and clatenburg books him!?
Were they justified?
As the commentator said, he was being smart with the ref by saying 'What did you expect me to do put my hands down my shorts out of the way?' He handballed, he had nothing to protest about really but did and therefore got carded for it.

Its funny Rooney shouted at the ref last week I think it was midweek and you could cleary him shout **** off you cheating c**t and no card and the ref was very close to him
In Trap we trust
That was a blatant dive and a fully deserved booking. Even Rooney didn't complain.
You can argue that Clattenburg lost control of the game from the start, and allowed the players to get away with too much. But all the bookings were justified I thought.
and that deserves a yellow card?
