    Well written, unbiased and obviously a proper football fan! Thanks for posting that.

    We all know **** happens, but pundits do rattle my cage, well most of them do.
    Clattenberg missed 2 last night. Moses was cleaned out! On the left touchline first half, the most blatant yellow but he did nothing? Janyelka slips, Diouf is clean through on goal, and he blows for a foul?
    Walters fouls an Everton player and it's a foul nothing more. Ref books him?
    With seconds remaining, we're winning 2 zip. Everton player overruns the ball, and kicks it away from goal.
    Asmir Begovic goes to collect the ball, and gets booked for time wasting?

    Just a sample of totally inept officiating by Mr Hitler... Sorry Mark Clattenberg.

    You might want to read the Hull board mate haha. They did not like the post one bit.
    If you're feeling really risky comment on it, I wouldn't recommend it though haha

    I think the issues with all the refs is not their ability or in some cases lack off, but the instituational protection they are afforded by the league. I dont want a ref to be hauled up and slated infront of the press, but I do think they should have to explain their thought process and reasoning behind key decissions.

    I couldn't agree more, justice not only needs to be done but seen to be done also.

    in my opinion both Ireland (for his earlier tackle) and obviously the Hull player deserved red cards but we have been on the wrong end of bad decisions enough times this season not to get the rub of the green on this occasion

    I agree, but the issue is that the decisions were just plain bad officiating. The simple fact is that these decisions not only affect the outcome of games and the careers of players and coaches, but also end players careers!

    I agree, the officials have been poor this season
