Mark Clattenburg has been appointed to take charge of Monday night’s clash between Chelsea and Manchester City.
The controversial 36-year-old referee has a history of ‘putting his foot in it’ especially in December 2009 when he took charge of a tie between Bolton Wanderers and Manchester City.
City personnel alleged that at half-time, Clattenburg asked members of their bench: ‘How do you work with Craig Bellamy all week?’ In the second half that followed, he booked Bellamy twice, once for dissent and then for diving, although replays suggested he was actually fouled. City manager Mark Hughes later said: ‘I’ve seen Mark Clattenburg have a lot better games than he’s had [here today]’ and described his decision to send off Bellamy as ‘laughable’.
I wonder what Clattenburg has in store this time?
