You are so one eyed, lets the game flow? Doesn't blow up for every minor foul, let the game move a little quicker. If any of that is the case why did he stop not one but two clearly advantages in favour of Palace? Don't bother answering, it's rhetorical When Clattenturd refs, everyone knows about it. Nothing inconspicuous about him the dignified don't even enter in the game

Nothing inconspicuous about him I have already answered this numerous times. If you saw Clattenburg referee a game the other day you would have been impressed by the brilliant advantages he played.This is certainly not the first time I have seen him do it.In the interests of balance I have also seen other referees this season play terrific advantages.

Originally posted by Willo Well they were hardly good goal scoring opportunities, denial of a penalty or perfectly good goal ruled out. Hardly a lynching offence ! This where you are wrong. For the first, Wickham it was definitely a goal scoring opportunity, only you and your hero thought otherwise. The second less clear but still a good opportunity the dignified don't even enter in the game

Originally posted by Y Ddraig Goch And you can't see why this makes the decision not to play it in the final so bad? You make it sound like lynching offences. In all the terrific advantages I have seen the ball has broken to team-mates who had good chances of mounting a very promising attack.In both the incidents in the FA Cup Final this wasn't the case. Anyway Clattenburg has been very honest in his assessment so give him some credit for this. Edited by Willo (30 Dec 2016 4.31pm)

Trying to get Willo admit he was wrong is like arguing with a lawyer. He justified Clattenburg's cup final decisions at the time and now that Clattenburg has admitted he made a mistake, Willo is left high and dry - except that he can't admit it. Refs and umpires (like me) make mistakes. Sometimes they are marginal calls, sometimes they are glaringly wrong, and cannot possibly be justified. In this latter case, we may be tired, we may lose focus, we are distracted, are worrying about a previous decision, we are affected by players' remarks. Even though we may recognise these factors, they can still catch us out. Willo, as I have said before, is not remotely interested in these psychological factors. He is determined to believe that refs always make sound, rational decisions which can be justified on some way, even if they turn out to be mistakes. Willo needs to attend to the realities of officiating and not believe that refs are superhuman beings who might just occasionally get a marginal call wrong. However, persuading Willo that he could be wrong himself is, as I say, akin to arguing with a lawyer who is paid to argue cases they may not believe in but are paid to argue them anyway. The right place at the right time

Edited by Y Ddraig Goch (30 Dec 2016 4.34pm) I have supported Palace since the 60s, and I might be a number of things but what I am NOT is a "Wind up merchant". As for Wickham being "One on one", the whistle had gone the defender stopped and the goalkeeper also stopped as he had heard the whistle.
