an excellent referee
The best in the league by a stretch
A fantastic referee who will be sorely missed.
I must be missing something here.
What exactly was Guardiola expected to do?
Decamp to New York for two months?
Indeed, despite the cuntish looking face you want to punch he’s the best ref we’ve had in this part of the world since I started watching football critically.
Instead of waving yellow and red cards in the Saudi Arabian league, Clattenburg will be chopping off fingers for bookable offences and chopping off hands for sending off offences.
Odd that Kelly was headhunted to the mls ahead of clattenberg then isnt it
These EPL lads haven’t a notion, pal.
Alan?
I’ve known him all my life, I played underage with him and would still consider him a mate, he’s a very good ref and stood out a mile in the LOI. Clattenberg is a bit of a step up though.
Oooofffftttttttt
What does an EPL referee earn per annum now they are pro ??
I miss the days in the 1980s when RTE showed the Football League Division1 games on Saturday when George Hamilton would always give the referees occupation . Generally a police officer , a school master or an accountant .
David Elleray would be a wonderful example of same
the time a microphone was hooked up to him for Millwall Arsenal at The Den was somewhat memorable
apologies for the sky sports banter and commentary
im an excellent referee myself
No, he was living in new York for a year at the time on his sabbatical
60 to 70k
English Pounds
Could this move be an opportunity to punt for more ??
Ooooft. That’s a clamping.
