As good a place as any to discuss controversial decisions, video replay, and anything else referee-related that comes up.
First on the menu... Clattenburg is set to quit before the next round of fixtures. He's citing frustration with management, but is it really just the rumors of a payday in China?

I don't have any strong feelings on Clatt one way or another. I'm not a huge fan of his style: he preens too much for my tastes. He's generally capable, though, and isn't Mike Deaning himself every other week.
