Wouldn’t believe sword he says, corrupt.

Had another 'interesting' performance a few months later, Villa vs. RS. Not long after that he was suspended - due to debts I believe.

There was an article I read were he was accused of threatening someone over money also.

He was reinstated as a referee and amazingly his hair had reinstated itself to his head.

I also recall a game between QPR and West Ham were there was almost ten yellow cards brandished and a red.in a fairly tame match.

When he went to referee abroad I thought we'd heard the last of him. Seems inescapable though.

Its easy to take a bribe and pass off your blatant corruption as a mistake. Our prime minister has clearly made a career leading by this example.

The story goes he was with Liverpool pre season trying to scrounge signed kits.

Wasn’t there a story as well about him having been on holiday to an apartment/villa abroad owned by Gerrard?

…I have it in mind it was in Hong Kong.

Nonsense. That was corruption.

Exactly this. Collina did the same thing - "oh dear, nevermind, mistakes happen eh?"

Pure bollocks.

Dodgiest ref display I've ever seen.

Goes beyond 'was just a mistake' for me.

wouldn't surprise me, I do know at the time he was heavily into gambling, how they never banned him for good, God only knows.

I'm still hurting from Clive Thomas, never mind Clattenberg.

 

[Toast]

Sure I saw a programme with him on and he had a signed Liverpool shirt hung on the wall in his house.

And Graham Poll!

 

[Pabbers]

One of the most angry I have ever been at a match, it was a disgrace.

 

[Lapeno77]

The complete non punishment of Moyes for his comments after the game was the clincher.
He basically called him biased and a cheat and the FA didn't punish Moyes.

I remember watching that game at a relative's house.

I remain relatively convinced that if I'd been at home there's a decent chance I'd've smashed something when he turned down that penalty

Yeh, not a good look putting your foot through your hosts TV

I always thought his first name was Mark??
