    True, the hardest lesson of all to learn.

    Well I could hook them for their lunch vouchers. But I don't think Rashford would approve.

    Not sure it was an apology mate, just a match report saying they got it wrong on both counts.

    I think you should apologise to the PL for soiling the brand with a 9-0 defeat tbh.

    Apart from looking like a stupid ****, so I think he got off lightly in all honesty.

    Are you referring to Clattenberg? He didn’t ref a game of ours for about 2 or 3 years after the infamous derby, not sure we requested it or whether it was the PGMOL saving him tbh.

    There's no plans to banish Michael Oliver from Liverpool games though after a similarly inept and biased performance in this season's derby. :emoticon-0143-smirk

    Saints should never have put Shane Long out on loan, imho

    Can't see any issue with his performance. VAR was used twice and he agreed.

    He ****ed up the infamous Pedro Mendes non-goal at Old Trafford, then got the same fixture a few years later and allowed Nani to handball then score.
    Went on to "let Tottenham lose" the Battle of the Bridge, which involved him officiating a player who had accused him of racially abusing him.
    ****ing disaster of a ref.

    Got banned for a bit because of financial difficulties and took charge of one of the most obviously fixed matches in recent history.

    Gerrard referred to him in his autobiography as ‘our Mark’ iirc.

    The incident in question at Goodison was Gerrard running towards goal with Tony Hibbert alongside him, Gerrard did his party piece and threw out a leg, initiated contact and went full starfish. Clattenberg got his yellow out and Me La whispered to him, he immediately put the yellow away and sent Hibbert off.

    There was an interview years ago with Graham Poll, where he referred to Terry as JT and Gerrard as Stevie.
    He was very disappointed that he lost contact with his colleagues after he retired. The clueless ****.

    Be fair. It's hard to think up new jokes about you losing 9-0 when you do it so frequently.

    Then again, you maintained for over a week that 'intent' was part of the rules serious foul play, so we can understand your inability to see any issues with his officiating, and that of VAR. :emoticon-0143-smirk

    At least your bet came in mate. Every cloud <ok>

    I must admit I felt sorry for Ralph in his post match last night, he looked broken.

    Which was actually the right sanction at the time for that foul when it had been given. Truth of the matter was that there was a bazillion percent more contact by Hibbert than there were for the recent Martial and Luiz incidents.
