Ferguson calls Clattenburg a cheat.
Clattenburg (rightly) sends Ferguson to the stands.

I wonder why any ref hasn't been suspended when they missed to give some very clear cut pens at OT to the visiting team?

Or even worse they should make him go and live on the Isle of Man.

Fergusons whinging about Davies made me laugh, he conveniently seemed to forget that Evra acted a total cunt and was probably actually worse than Davies.

That said, Davies is a yard dog ****house though, I remember when he broke Hyypias nose within about 2 minutes a few years back.

Clattenburg NOT axed
by Alex Livie, 27 November 2007

Contrary to reports, Mark Clattenburg has not been axed from the list of referees for this weekend’s Premier League games.

It had been reported that Clattenburg had been pulled from the list for the weekend, with his decision to send Sir Alex Ferguson from the touchline during Manchester United’s defeat to Bolton on Saturday cited as the reason behind the decision.

This, though, is well wide of the mark as Clatternburg is ineligible due to Uefa Cup commitments.

Clattenburg is due to take charge of Hamburg’s Uefa Cup clash with Rennes on Thursday, thus ruling him out of the weekend’s action.

A Uefa directive is in place which prevents referees from taking charge of games on a Saturday if they are in action on a Thursday and this is the reason for Clattenburg not being in action at the weekend.

"No comment really needs to be made on the subject, he is in action at Hamburg on Thursday and so is not available," a Premier League spokesman told setantasports.com.

"The same situation applies to players, as they cannot play in games on a Saturday if they are in action on Thursday."



I can admit when I'm wrong.
