    I was only 15 at the time I may add.

    Well that changes it significantly in fairness!

    Ha, what a plot twist. The M. Night Shyamalan of football referees.

    I've just had a look at the highlights. Yeah of course Spurs lost the heads and some players certainly deserved at least a second yellow. Obviously Dembele and Lamela deserved reds for the eye gouge and stamp on Fabregas's hand but you have to assume those were not seen. Diers lunge on Fabregas probably deserved a red, certainly I have seem them given but I can understand the context the Clattenburg took. The highlights didnt show what time was left after that tackle but if memory serves me correct there was only a couple of mins left. Would a red card have made any difference?

    Normally in a game like that a red card might settle things down but Spurs heads had gone. They didnt care, he would have had to start throwing out red cards like confetti and then the attention would have been deflected from Spurs on to him.

    I can get why he did it, I just dont get why he feels the need to broadcast it. Pure arrogance is my best bet.

    Bollox. Lamela deserves a statue in his honour for that. It was glorious.
