What about Clynes 2 footed tackle? Should have been a red! If that's the one he got booked for it was very harsh and was actually caused by him being fouled by Arnie.

What about Clynes 2 footed tackle? Should have been a red! I thought it looked like he made two very poor tackles in quick succession. Firstly on Ireland and then on Pieters certainly the latter was very out of control. The one on Ireland looking dodgy, quite high even though he got the ball. The one on pieters I thought was unfortunate as arnie fouled him causing him to go into pieters.

He did 2 on Ireland the first of which looked a bad one. He also left a naughty one on Arnie which prompted the retaliation which caused the foul on pieters.

Easily the best in the Prem. Yes he missed a couple of things but he is human and no-one can get everything right 100% of the time. Even TV replays from multiple angles can sometimes be impossible to agree on. With that in mind I think he had just about as good a game as it is generally possible to have, allowing for inevitable human error and split-second interpretations of challenges, simulations and other infractions. After all, the game is often played at lightening speed by athletes who are regularly trying to deceive him and supporters who are baying for penalties, freekicks and red cards whilst managers and players attempt to intimidate / influence his decisions and the media subject him to minute scrutiny of every decision. It ain't easy and some are better at it than others but, to be fair, I doubt anyone on here could do better than the worst of them on their worst day. Even those biased, cheating cunts we seem to get most weeks. Well played Mr Clattenburg.

Still only seen it at the game but Clyne's tackle was shocking and it was a really poor decision not to send him off.
Pelle was lucky not to walk either I thought.
So yeah other than fucking 2 big decisions up he was ace.

Without seeing replays I thought he was a bottler. Schneiderlin dive 1st half went without a yellow. Fonte could have seen 4 yellows, alderweid should have seen a 2nd yellow and I was convinced clynes was a red. From where I sat it was reckless, out of control and studs showing. If that's the case it's a red. So for me he was wank but I could watch replays back and be proven to be wrong ;-) I hope you are being overly dramatic for exaggerated effect. If not,then you are as bad as all the overly officious refs we criticize every week. I would hate to think that is how you truly saw the game. I thought Clattenburg was spot on. He has been the best ref in the Prem for a while now...stepping nicely into Howard Webb's shoes.

Should have booked Manè for that dive in the first half. Apart from that he was pretty sound, both teams put a few meaty challanges in but he handled it well
Edit -
Surprised Pella didn't get at least a booking after the foul on N'Zonzi

Popular because he exerted authority and and had a big daft smile but his record for giving game-changing decisions was dismal. No bottle at all - it showed in the World Cup final when he was so intent on being Mr. Let-The-Game-Flow that he ducked out of a good three red cards for Holland. Clattenburg is a shifty fucker but seems to be reffing pretty well, and unlike Webb he's got the guts to make a decision once in a while.

I understand your point but I disagree with your assessment of Webb's performance at the World Cup Final. The bloke was between a rock and a hard place. It's a difficult decision to make. Referee the match to the letter of the law and have the greatest show on earth reduced to a shambles or try and make the best of a bad job. I don't think enough was made after the event of the tactics of the Dutch team...there was very little condemnation. They should have been slaughtered. FIFA should have made an example of them after the event..I don't think the ref should have to do it for them. He would have been crucified if he had reduced Holland to 8 men.

Yeah fair points, Holland were a disgrace to be honest and it must have been a very difficult game to referee. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if they approached it knowing that if they put in a couple of early reducers Webb wouldn't want to "spoil the game" by cautioning or sending off, and thus make a rod for his own back for the rest of the game.

That should have been his finest moment as a referee, the pinnacle of his career and it should have been two terrific teams playing the best football on the planet. Instead, you had one team playing football and the other hell bent on kicking the opposition off the park. It was a brutal, physical contest where Holland employed a nasty physical midfield duo to basically chop Spain's flair players. Exactly what was Webb supposed to do ? Ruin the cup final by sending players off left right and centre, or allow the game to flow and look weak. Webb was a terrific referee. I would happily welcome him back. Clattenburg's excellent performance yesterday was a rare pleasure. This season we've had shit after shit. It was nice to see a good strong refereeing performance.

I don't think you can blame the players for "ruining" a ref's finest moment! He has to deal with what's in front of him, no matter what the circumstances - something that he failed miserably to do in the WC final, and failed to do on a regular basis throughout his career imo.
