Vardy and Mahrez up for Goal of The Month at the vote link above.

 

(Didn't we used to have a MOTD thread?!)

The many social media Algerian fans of his will help him win it..:ph34r:

I thought it wasn't a pen and was a clear dive tbh. Surprised so many people thought it was stonewall. In some ways I'm happy for stonewall pens to not be given if the player throws themselves over theatrically. Though not when it's us, obviously.

Former PL referee appears very honest here, but was perhaps too kind to Spurs during that certain game..

Im confused. On Facebook there are people complaining of match fixing after what Clattenburg said. Surely the fact he didn't send any Spurs players off meant it benefitted Spurs?

Yes, so he arguably cost Chelsea 2 points, and lost people money who were betting on the game. The fact Spurs still couldn't win was their fault, but he gave them an unfair advantage.

 

It's match fixing and it's fraud, he should actually be banned from the sport for life prosecuted like the FIFA officials.

 

How is it not 100 times worse than that non-league goalkeeper who ate the pie, or Joey Barton betting on random matches?

It's rank, but it's neither fraud, corruption or any other highly emotive word you angrily chuck at it.

Well it is lol explain how it isn't? These aren't emotive words:

 

Corruption - dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.

 

Fraud - wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

 

If something similar happened in horse racing they'd be jailed, or at the very least banned for several years.

Not quite sure it goes as far as match fixing. His actions didn't directly affect the score line so it cant be classed as fixing a match. People would have won bets just as much as people losing them.

 

To openly say that he effectively didn't send players off when in his mind he knew it warranted a red card is wrong I can agree with that.

 

TBH im not even sure why he has bothered coming out with this statement.

Amazing that they're redeveloping something that much but some stands will still have support beams lollol 

 

It's like the Liverpool shit show where they've managed to add more restricted views by extending the main stand. 

 

Also TERRIBLE Copy writing... 'a new crystal palace' actually refers to their glass interpretation at the front of the stadium... but sounds a bit like they're trying to get rid of the shite team lol

I find this a bit weird. Almost like the "its my first one" plea a player makes about a tackle.

 

Youve got to referee to its merit surely? Cant just see a red card offense and not give it.

Prove the financial gain. Otherwise, you're libelling him.

Where has the space come from for that?

I thought that.

 

Palace away is one of my favourites and I like Selhurst as it is but it seems tight enough atm. Unless they're knocking down some buildings like Liverpool did.

Have to say that's the first thing that sprung to my mind too. 

 

The ground will look ridiculous after this development imo. Two fantastic, huge stands coupled with two tinpot little ones on the verge of falling down. Somewhat reminiscent of Filbert Street, on a slightly larger scale.

The announcement of Michael Oliver as ref for the Manchester derby this Sunday has once again affirmed the three certainties in life

 

Death

Taxes

Both teams' fans moaning the referee will cost them any points when they hear who the referee is for their game.

He's probably the best ref we have. Like him

Hope he's working hard on his game plan in training.
