    Interesting insight into how referees go about balancing the key decisions they make in a game , from Mark Clattenberg.

    I'm amazed he openly admitted a crucial mistake to the Atletico players, but agree with the overall way he handled the game in the context of his mistake.

    I reckon the "even it up" mantra after a poor call happens a lot in the game.

    Also, some refs are just awful.

    Rules are rules and are meant to be followed to the letter of the law.
    Not sure how it can be interpretated any different.
    Baffling that he can come out and say that publicly without repercussion.

    I think he'll end up having to "clarify" those remarks.

    IMO it’s just someone with a massive ego trying to stay relevant

    Yeah, think you've hit the nail on the head.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Enough about Walsh. What do you think of Clattenburgs comments?
