Don't forget willo is clatenfu*ks love child.

If it makes you all feel any better.... just google what Everton fans think of Mark Clattenberg -they are convinced he is so biased against them and that he should never referee another of their games again.
He wont know who to shaft first -them or us! as we are the away team he may be worse to them.
I am very much looking forward to the game, mostly for the Bolassie v old club battle.

If memory serves me right it was Trolley sorry Willo, I mean Mark that didn't ref an Everton game for two or three seasons because of previous.

Yes, of course you're allowed to express an opinion. Equally, I'm allowed to query it. Far be it from me to advise a gentleman of 'elder statesman' status like yourself but to advocate Clattenburg as a great referee (as you seem hell-bent on doing) is little short of inflammatory on this site. I realLy do feel that you need to address and (try to) justify the instances I've given you which suggest the opposite. With respect, the opinion of two old buffers of your acquaintance doesn't really cut the mustard, especially when stacked against the welter of opinion that significantly differs.

I like you as a poster but your Clattenburg love-in is at significant variance with, dare I say it, the groundswell of opinion on the HOL. Please engage with this point rather than flounce off without at least attempting to justify your comments.

There. I've phrased this post in language that you'll understand. I (and I suspect many others) await your measured and considered response in due course.

To be brutally honest I am not overly concerned that it is "Inflammatory". At the end of the day all I am doing is expressing my opinion and wouldn't it be boring if we all agreed with one another as part of a gargantuan "Love-In" ?

At the end of the day I, and others in football, rate Mark as a top quality referee and if others disagree that is their prerogative.
