they are told they must be %100 sure before they give a foul or not,it does stand out when they are guessing we have all seen it and heard it when the ref doesnt listen to his linesman(old school)

He rejoices and celebrates his own fvcktitude with the passing of filthy lucre (or should that be lycra ?)
money, you know what I mean.

Going by some slang definitions on on-line dictionaries, Mark Clattenburg is the epicentre of cvntishness, in my opinion.

After all, the game of football is about opinions, and even Mark Clattenburg has been wrong on a couple of occasions.

My opinion is just timeless, and undeniable, in this instance

"The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak

Having already had one post deleted for, I assume (as no one told me), daring to suggest a member was trolling and should be carded accordingly (which I stand by), I still support my assertion and opinion that the system is broken when a ref gets so much publicity and airtime - often a lot more so than a number of the players we all actually pay to go to see. We don’t pay to see that bell!
That, in itself, should be a reason to be cautious.
Regardless of the assessment process (which should work and I agree should be behind closed doors) the fact that this bloke is allowed by the football authorities to bang on and on and court so much negativity from so many supporters of so many teams is disgraceful. They have allowed him to bring the profession into disrepute (in my view).

you are and your not, the system is set to allow refs normally young ones to progress this is started from grass roots, sadly we are losing that because of what we say and do to young refs means the pot is getting smaller,
the abuse they receive for making one or two mistakes is unfair yes they shouldn't but could you work with thousands of eyes watching you,remember they got this all the way up the ladder,even with threats of violence,so you will get some like Clattenburg who are thick skinned and arrogant, and you will never get a ref who doesnt make a error or two,its just the nature of the beast
why do you think lower division players wont come forward to ref once they call it a day,because its easier to criticize than do the job themselves

How do you know your cat isn't trying to speak Japanese? I wouldn't put anything past mine. He's pretty clever.

Stealing their women and eating their food since 1987.

very rare you get a ref make boat loads of mistake,but big teams seem to get a lions share of major decisions in there favour,
Had a argument with my brother over this, he said reason they get more is because they are attacking more,just pointed out its is either a foul or its not. nothing todo with who attacks the most,
so lets hope next season we see players not running up to the ref telling him what todo,and refs dont make wrong major decisions against us
