    How often d´you suppose
    He who <whistle> blows
    Will blow both at home and away,
    When on the team sheet
    The same two teams meet
    Not very often, I would say

    So who will it be :emoticon-0112-wonde
    The game´s referee
    When we welcome Saints to our den,
    Who´s up for the task
    Well you may ask
    None other than Clattenburg M

    Now although it´s nice
    To see some refs twice
    Or maybe even more than that,
    His wasn´t the name :(
    I´d hoped for this game
    Bearing in mind our recent spats

    And it does seem odd
    To choose the same bod
    As in our first meeting last year,
    Although then I guess
    It´s easy to address
    Those faces he´ll recognise here ;)

    But what the FA
    Do on a matchday
    Is sometimes hard to understand,
    A ref from oop north
    Let´s make him set forth
    On two of the longest trips in the land. <doh>

    Ah well, I wonder if he'll award Saints a 'dubious' penalty - ie for something that happens in all games week in, week out?? He certainly seems to favour the opposing teams when he's been in charge of our matches. <ok>

    Hi RBF, I think what upset me most about his poor performance at Wet Sham, was that it came very soon after McNally had welcomed the clearing of his name, calling him a top referee! He certainly wasn't on top form that day!

    Hasn´t recently done himself any favours with the Yellow Army, I must admit JR, but innocent until proven................ and all that. Seem to remember down at St. Marys he was at least consistent, he allowed a handball in the build up to their goal, and then gave Snoddy a free kick, that maybe wasn´t, which led to our goal. (or was that some other game?)

    I think he's one of the top referees out there. Every club seems to have a gripe with a certain referee but I have never felt the need to slate Battenburg as I've always considered him as a very good referee..
