No different to people having tattoos with names of their girlfriend/wife or children? Hardly gonna forget their names are they! I'm not a fan of that sort of thing but don't think it makes him an idiot. Just the same as millions of other people. But, loved the story of the geordie who had a huge tattoo done of Andy Cole in his Newcastle kit the day before they sold him to Man Utd - perhaps he was an idiot!

One of the first refs you noticed, but for a good reason... he was fun. The sort of polar opposite to someone like Mike Dean. Do you mean Roger Kirkpatrick?!

Excellent ref Should have sent Gazza off in that 1991 FA Cup Final - he bottled it cos Gazza was so famous and had a serious injury as a result of one of his own fouls....but as much as I love Gazza, he was wired from the moment he walked out the tunnel and committed some terrible fouls before the one that injured himself and nearly ruined his move to Lazio...

Portland Bill Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 2 hours ago, MarcusX said: Those of you mentioning the way players speak to refs, have you actually heard the way refs talk to players? As far as I'm concerned respect is a two way thing. some refs have tried to make the game as much about them, I don't know him but Clattenburg strikes me as one of those types of refs. Well someone close to me is a referee, recently during a game a player ran over to him shouting "****** hell ref it was ****** handball", ref ignores his appeal and tells him to shut up whilst also running to keep up with play. The next stoppage in play the player runs up to the ref and complains with "you can't tell me to shut up", "why not" was the answer. The player just walked off in a sulk! Just what do some players expect or want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is anyone else to say what he should or shouldn't do in that regard? He was proud of what he'd achieved and why shouldn't he be? Agree! Given the ink rubbish that most of the players are covered in, his are fine. He's a great ref and anyone who criticizes should try the job for a couple of games. You have one split second to call it as you see it and can't go to the TMO like you can in rugby. Yes there are some decisions that are badly wrong, but when you watch replays there are a helluva lot of correct ones which we missed at the time too.

Just what do some players expect or want! Well like I said, some refs make it about them. I probably should have said "have you heard the way SOME refs talk to players" not all are guilty of course. No-one gets every call right as a ref, but a simple explanation without an attitude generally goes a long way. You usually find that frustration boils for players after a number of incidents and/or previous games with that ref. That said, there are a lot of dick heads that will just scream at the ref from start to finish, I understand that and its wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Domingo Roldan Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Syrup of a fig. One of the better referees but alas, like many others they undulge far too often in their own fabled celebrity. It should all be about the game where referees are heard but not seen.

Erithacus Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 And mentioning old refs, anyone remember two of our best: Pat Partridge and Jack Taylor? The latter reffed the 1974 World Cup Final and just before kickoff he noticed there were no corner flags. He then awarded two penalties in the first few minutes (W Germany beat Holland 2-1 for those who don't have grey bits). Top bloke, and always ready with a hankie to remove mud from players' eyes.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 9 hours ago, PHILINFRANCE said: I believe he taught at Harrow. He did and retired from reffing when they went pro as he didn`t want to give up his teaching career. The funniest bit in that documentary was when he was reffing Chelsea v someone and Babayaro (I think) got into a tangle with an opposition player. Elleray`s lecturing them both when Dennis Wise strolls by and says `Just send the ******* pair of them off ref and let`s get on with the game`!
