I'll make the point yet again even though I think the ref was ok tonight but why do UEFA

[Dorset Gooner]

give games of this magnitude to refs from ****e leagues? I just don't get it, they are like rabbits caught in headlights :shakehead:

[Mo Britain less Europe]

[plastic james]

they are also less likely to be biased

beside...isnt it ennough the big leagues get all the money, the best players and most CL places....do you want them to have all the refs as well?

what role do you want smaller European countries to play?

Not that it's making you sound like a small minded little englander or anything

[Ashberto]

Clattenberg OTOH - seems a decent ref to me. Even Phil Dowd has had good games, surprisingly.

the foot high, I thought I spotted a bit of follow through on it too. And then laying down and feigning injury didn't help his cause either.

Anything that might cause old piss-breath's aorta to explode is a good thing D :nod:

right call over sending off. nani lost the game for united thought his own idiotic tackle

[Ashberto]

My point is that he reffed a game at the grove last season, I think, where he gave a near perfect performance. Including a very good looking pelanty shout we had which he was right to turn down. Seeing how well he can ref makes that Newcastle game look very very odd.

At least 1 Spanish side has to make it through.....who the fark wants to watch a Dortmund-Milan final.

[Ashberto]

know what an aorta is exactly but I'd like to see his head explode, Scanners stylee.

Especially as you've criticised refereeing standards as much as the next man.

I just fail to see the logic there, or the evidence for that matter
