This whole thread is a complete load of rubbish. Every ref makes a mistake, as does everyone on this board at some time in their working lives (if they have one). Do people here ever complain when a decision goes our way? Of course not. Do they remember every decision that didn't go our way for years on end? Of course they do.

Clattenberg is regarded as the best there is, as evidenced by the games he has been given by football authorities around the world. Is he perfect? Of course not. Does he have an agenda against Palace? Of course not.

If any of the posters on this thread want to know who to contact to train to become a referee themselves I will gladly find the information for them.

By whom? Apart from the people who assign referees to matches, obviously. I don't think you'd find too many players or managers who'd agree, let alone supporters.

Don't worry, on Friday when clattenberg has completely screwed us over yet again, Willo/, Trolley will be here to give us the reasons why clattenberg is the best referee on the planet and to tell us once again that he had the 3 major finals this year !! Once again he will ignore any criticism of Clattenberg blatantly cheating in the cup final, and defend him to the utmost degree, even if the clown scored a goal against us himself and sent off our entire defence he would still be a hero in Willo's eyes.....and Willo pretends to be Palace fan

I'm NOT going to rise to any further 'Bait' on here, nor going to respond to all the hogwash, ridiculous slurs and vitriol.Sorry to disappoint all the 'Agent provocateurs' and all the 'Anti-Clattenburg' brigade.

My opinion of Clattenburg has been well documented and I can assure you it is my honest and genuine opinion.Certainly NOT designed as any great "Wind-Up" or anything like that as has been ludicrously suggested.

So my detractors - NO further comment from me on this thread.I'm sure you are all disappointed - shame.

Willo, why do you keep responding over and over again to Clattenburg threads?

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but you don't have to give it every time he is criticised

Obviously a lot of fans are very angry at some of the decisions in the Cup Final, so why then reply to them with praise for Clattenburg?

Do you not think this will then inflame the situation and have you accused of being a Troll?

Like I say you are entitled to your opinion, but you do not have to give it every single time over and over again.

I can understand arguing your point in a pub as there is a certain amount of pride/devils advocate about it, but this is a bloody website, can you just not sit and chill out and ignore these threads

Of course its your choice and this is a discussion board, but you do open yourself up to the accusations

Willo mentions he's had his say on the FA Cup final "advantage" decision and isn't prepared to retype it. Fair enough, that's a bit of effort. He then says he isn't prepared to reference it. That ones a bit odd as Willo is more likely to know what topics these posts can be found in.

Cucking then trawls through Willo's old posts and still can't find anything to match what Willo is saying. The burden is now on Willo and should presumably be an easy task to go and reference himself quickly.

But okay, I'll do it myself. I went through several posts from Willo and all I found were repeats from this topic that Clattenburg was awarded 3 finals and everything else is Hogwash.

Why are you refusing to either find your original post Willo or failing that, a short abridged version (no more than a paragraph if you wish) on the Wickham advantage decision that arguably cost 'your' club the FA Cup.
