Clattenburg memories

[Paulie Dangerously]

As Clatts is leaving these shores I'd like to make this thread so we can share some of our favourite memories.

 

Mine was when he wasn't going to send Tony Hibbert off in the Derby but his best mate Steven Gerrard (for whom he was best man at his wedding and also godfather to his kids) said "Come on Clatty, last man" and he then produced the red card. 

 

I also approved of his handling of Kuyt drop kicking someone, it was a derby after all

 

[Russ Atmosphere]

Kuyt's yellow was good refereeing in the circumstances.

Pulled out of the challenge at the last minute clearly

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I remember when his hair wasn't made of nylon.

[Trumo]

Kuyt's yellow was good refereeing in the circumstances.

 

 

Neville got sent off for a last-minute handball in the box, conceding the penalty which Kuyt tucked away to win the derby.

[Adebisi]

I was looking at his driving plates (C19TTS) thinking 'what the fuck does that mean?' Then I got it and cringed harder than when I saw his tattoos, which was pretty fucking hard.

The Blues still go on about that challenge. Can't see what's wrong with it myself. Certainly no malice, Dirk wasn't that type of player.

[Kevin D]

That Everton derby is my favourite ever football match, outside of a final. It was just so immensely satisfying in every way.

[Caramac]

[Anubis]

RIP.

YNWA.

[Baresi]

Bitter who sits next to me asked if he was going immediately? As he doesn't want to get screwed over like that other bald cunt Collina did to them before retiring. I chuckled away.

It was a fucking mental challenge even if he did pull out of it

Had he been sent off then he would have very little to complain about

[Dr Nowt]

I respected him seeing Cara's late pull on a mutant as the simple affectionate tickle it was.

 

Good lad is Clatts.

[LFC 6 Times]

He did us a big favour against city in the 3-2 in 13/14, didn't book Suarez for a blatant dive when he was on a yellow and Skrtel punching the ball out of our box in injury time same game.

I wasn't being serious.

funniest match ever anyway, it was the big bad monster Liverpool FC they have in their head playing out in real life, our players refereeing the game, sendings off for them but not us, penalties for us but not them, last minute goal, player who could of been off getting both, great stuff

[Skrtel Milk]

Remember when you were young...

[General Dryness]

Its obvious what he was trying to do (block the ball), he just went completely the wrong way about it.

 

He should really have gone in head first, but you know what these prettyboy strikers are like, more worried about their hair than the result of the match.

[dylstar]

Let's hope his last prem match is us against the bitters and he sends off 2 of them and awards us a controversial pen. Imagine the FUUUUUUUUUME !!!!!!!

[Ipplfc]

He's fuck'n shite now he's gone all billy big time,his display in the resent match with us against Chelsea was fuck'n abysmal.

There's footage of him in the tunnel before the game all over Diego costa tapping his face and wishing him all the best the fuck'n self styled best referee in the world cunt

[G Richards]

It's never a good sign when the refs become 'names'. The players are the stars. The game is the best in the world. The ref applies the rules to let the players, and the game itself, shine through.

 

When the ref shines through, it's all wrong to me. The game is somehow lesser, and the players didn't do their job well enough to be talked about.

 

The ref is not the sage on the stage. He's the guide on the side.

You wouldn't say that to Collinas face though mate

[Jim MM]

As long as we get to reinvest the money in a couple of decent wide linesmen I'm cool with this.

[G Richards]

Collina is the exception!

 

I'm probably a dinosaur on this one, but I dont like high profile refs. The last one was Howard Webb. Pay them well, by all means. There's lots of money in the game. But when I get the feeling that they think they are a little too indispensable, I don't like it.

[Anubis]

We've not had a truly good Premiership referee since Durkin hung his boots up.
