Where is Clattenburg gone?

Iang87

Just wondering does anyone have the slightest clue where Mark Clattenburg has gone?

i heard from a friend he got like a 3 month ban from premier games cos of something ferguson said or did but this friend is even more anti-united than i am so i wouldn't believe what he said due to his bias.

Can anyone shed light on where arguably the best english ref is gone

I don't think it was to do with betting. He had some financial irregularities or something in a business he was involved in, something outside of football.

I think he'll be back soon

Folks I've removed the idle speculation from some posts here. Please stick to the facts for the sake of boards.ie.

Cheers

Was he the ref that during some liverpool game was gonna give a yellow card then Gerrard walked by and he put the yellow back in and gave a Red to Liverpools opponent instead?

Or the Championship for that matter. I've attended three Forest games at which he's been ref, he's sent two players off and booked another 6 in those two games, he's whistle happy, doesn't let the game flow and if the game gets at all physical (which its supposed to be) he's dishing out needless cards for the fun of it. Terrible ref, rarely admits when he gets a decision wrong. Good riddance.
