oh no doubt, clattenberg was a fucktard and the problem i think does partially stem from the fact that thereis no vehicle for accountability.

That said, rules are there for a reason. He was wrong and so were you mate. Now, as a manager you have a responsibility to both your boys and SAF to the fans. He can not show such disrespect to the authority, otherwise the entire system starts to degrade. His stature makes him a greater example of how we should behave. When his behavior is inappropriate it looks very ugly for the game as a whole. Now I can understand that the man has a gigantic financial system that he has to operate and has a lot riding on it, but local coaches should have nothing but the growth of the boys as the focus.

With SAF my biggest issue, outside of the horrible refeering, is how inconsistent the FA can be on these issues. 2 games does seem excessive, but as long as other repeat offenders get the same treatment, then i'm cool with it. That's quite important to me.
