[@errcoche]

Gary Speed's death was a real tragedy. Seemed like he was an absolute top bloke. I refereed a work game once. Not as easy as it looks. Your not quite as certain with the whistle in your mouth. That said, you will inevitably get your fair share of "Napoleons" wanting to be refs. Isn't Bellamy the guy who took a golf club to another player - the "Nutter with the Putter"? Kind of figures he'd be an arsehole to referee.

[@bazhughes5625]

Yeah, as a Liverpool fan I remember this like it was yesterday. The weird thing is, he took that golf club to John Arne Riise, and the both of them scored in the very next game, away to Barcelona in a 2-1 away win in the Champions League. Imagine if they were both stopped from playing in that game? We'll never know.

[@SirMonkeySuit]

Bobby Robson Is the pinnacle of "Man Management" in History. He could manage any player in the world, regardless of his personal feelings he would make his players feel like they were the best they ever could be. That is why he is the Grandfather of Football.

[@adriankaill9413]

What about his performance for the Chelsea vs Spurs game 2006...he's quoted as saying..."If I sent three players off from Tottenham, what are the headlines? 'Clattenburg cost Tottenham the title.' It was pure theatre that Tottenham self-destructed against Chelsea and Leicester won the title." Asked if he helped to "script" the game, he replied: "I helped the game. I certainly benefited the game by my style of refereeing. "Some referees would have played by the book; Tottenham would have been down to seven or eight players and probably lost and they would've been looking for an excuse. Some would say he simply was a coward not wishing to out his European Championship opportunities at risk, so he let Chelsea players be hacked around...I for one am glad he ran off from EPL and hope he never returns...
