Whether or not his decisions were influenced by that plum faced old goose his decisions were still s*ite and he had a 'mare (another one).

Irrespective of his poor decision making, the Fergie thing was poor judgement from 'Mark' at best and I'd agree with many posters on here as calling it unprofessional. The guy is a joke.

He's a terrible ref and the sooner he goes to Saudi Arabia the better. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The situation was of his making because being a professional referee he should have known fine well that he ought to have been keeping his distance from the players and their entourages.

and he still hasnt answered the question everyone wants to know the answer to...In his opinion Did Madeley make several game changing errors in Saturdays match, not, do referees occasionally make "honest mistakes" but did Saturdays referee make mistakes (honest or otherwise)? Clattenberg has already admitted to errors in the cup final, but Willo for some weird reason refuses to even admit that! He says he is a Palace fan but there must be some doubt as to the veracity of that statement in view of his stance on referees performances (or lack of)
Now hes out campaigning for the Tories, no doubt after Mrs May asked him to..

You really have to give the guy credit, he plays the part absolutely perfectly. I actually quite enjoy seeing people get riled up by him. Its so clearly someone playing a character its unreal yet people still seem to get upset and argue rather than just completely ignoring him which is the only thing that would actually work. The only thing I'm undecided on is whether he's actually a Palace fan.

He got banned on the BBS for doing the same thing.

Yeah its abundantly clear that they are the same person, it was proven without doubt not so long ago on another thread.

I just think its really impressive that he is able to keep the guise up of the bumbling, referee loving, random punctuation mark, Tory old boy and so many people still get irate about it.
