Referee gets the chop

[bumble]

Mark Clattenburg will not referee a Premier League match this weekend in the wake of his display in the Merseyside derby.



The Professional Game Match Board, who oversee referees and make appointments for top-flight games, confirmed that Clattenburg would not be involved in the latest round of fixtures.


Everton manager David Moyes was fiercely critical of the official's display at Goodison Park, where he awarded Liverpool two penalties and dismissed Tony Hibbert and Phil Neville.


Moyes was also unimpressed that Clattenburg only showed Dirk Kuyt a yellow card for a reckless two-footed lunge on Neville, and that Everton were denied a penalty in the closing seconds when Joleon Lescott appeared to be wrestled to the floor by Jamie Carragher.


Liverpool came from behind to win the match 2-1 with Kuyt converting both penalties after Sami Hyypia's own goal had given the home side the lead.

The cheat should be demoted to schoolboy level. If such blatant cheating was displayed in Italy or Spain people would be up in arms.

Apperently he's not reffing in the PL cos he has a UEFA cup game on thursday, not because he was poor last week in the Pool V Everton game.

Up in arms in Italy? Is this the same Italy where Juve were bribing refs for a couple of years before anyone noticed.

Try harder.
