Ref

[BigWesMorgan]

Best referee you've seen at the King Power?

[Guest seanfox778]

Mark Clattenburg. Leicester 5-3 Man Utd 

[foxfanazer]

Did I mention he's my mate? Known him for years

[Guest ttfn]

Excellent, had total control over the game.

[Livid]

He went unnoticed which is the highest compliment you can give.

 

Just watched Slimani's goal on BT and it was tight but the Lino called it wrong.

[goose2010]

Definitely up there, compared to the last one in champs league he was worlds apart, he let two physical teams play, which is really not the usual in Europe, fair play! 

 

Some Copenhagen fans are moaning about a penalty they should have had? I honestly don't know what they are on about? 

[Lionator]

Italian refs are generally quite good in Europe, plus he refereed the last WC final so what do you expect? Fantastic to see praise though!

[Babylon]

Was exceptional, especially compared to the last clown. Thought their strikers targeted Huth and were trying to prevoke him and con the ref and he didn't fall for any of it.

He gave a free kick to us when Slimani went down with one of theirs from a corner. Slimani was definitely holding their player before the kick was taken.

[Wymsey]

Should've booked their player who faked injury once or twice.

Brilliant ref. Allowed tough tackling and physical challenges & in general took no nonsense. 

Compare him to the ref we had for the Porto match and they are worlds apart. 

[Larry_LCFC]

Didn't really have any big calls to make but let it flow well enough.

[NewEnglandFox]

Burley said he was a top 5 ref in the world before kickoff.

[ealingfox]

Italians make the best refs because they wrote the book on shithousing in footy, can spot any trick in the book a mile off.

[Russell sprout]

I've always been sceptical of Italian refs due to there theatrical style in which they try to win fouls,

therefore Italian refs start stopping the games like a game of rugby,

but always admired that bald headed collini ref who if I remember was rated the best in the world when he refereed,

tonights fully restored my faith in Italian refs,

imo the ref v Porto ruined the game where as tonights ref made the win more enjoyable,

i personally like mark clattenberg when he refs out games but tonight's ref has eclipsed his performances,

i really think he was that good tonight,

10/10

Just done a bit of research on the guy and he's the IFFHS worlds best ref for the last 2 years, has been the best ref in the serie A for the last 5 years and got a globe award for the best ref in 2014

[urban.spaceman]

Thought he was excellent, can't have any complaints especially seeing as he didn't fall for any of Santander's antics. What a contrast to the Porto ref.

It was a legitimate goal. The Lino certainly screwed up.

[C-man]

Hopefully he didn't ruin Finnegan's day.

[lgfualol]

Didnt even think about the ref, that's how good he was. Not like in the Prem where refs make the games all about their egos.

[Kinowe Soorie]

V. Good

[sylofox]

I hope we get him in the final.

Did the last guy but somehow the game had 400 free kicks and 28 bookings.

[sk3since03]

Imagine how nice life would be if all refs applied themselves as well as last night's ref did! If i chose a favourite, it'd be him haha  

[harpendenfox]

Calm and in control all evening. Brilliant performance
