The Saudis won't be as forgiving when it comes to his bad decision making.
Mark Clattenburg quits PL for role in Saudi Arabia
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
Webb may have reffed at the highest level, doesn't mean he was any good, however and him and Clattenburg are one and the same.
Referees are like the mafia, they refuse to accept responsibility for anything (I accept that it's a difficult job but they don't make it easier for themselves) and Webb's justification for decisions has to be called into question e.g. his justification for the Mata 'offside' goal vs. Palace. It was a joke. He had thousands of screens in front of him and he still insisted he was right.

Good fecking riddance.
His shite performance in the Arsenal Hull game last weekend was a fitting finale for him.

Wonder if he'll get a tattoo of Mike Riley telling him to go feck himself.
Referees having live press conferences after a move. The game has gone mad.Tweet

Talentless twat.
"When we said heads will roll Mr Clattenburg, we meant it..."
is this true?? wow at least 9 extra points for us next season
Now past it referees are making big money moves, football has gone barmy.
Great referee. Good luck to him.
This. Self-absorbed, celebrity twat.
Good. Can't stand him, the worst kind of attention-seeking referee.
Webb was still overall a top class referee. Slightly egotistical too but Twattenburg is a seriously nasty piece of work.
Do the Saudis think he will increase viewing figures?
Or do theyou genuinely rate him as a world class referee?
Either way he is a cnut.

Tremendous news - hopefully leads the way for the likes of Dean and Aktinson to follow his lead 
Good for him. Got his big paycheck at the back off two high profile games in the same year. Worked out nicely for him.
I just hope there is no mistranslation when he gets his tattoo in Arabic.

Seeing a lot of comments on Facebook about how we'd be upset about this.. Lol. Which games have they been watching?? Good bloody riddance! :P
Wtf is this
Good riddance. Problem is, whoever they'll come up with to replace him is likely to be another incompetent plonker to complement the rest of that sorry lot.
Should also take Lee Mason while they're at it.Tremendous news - hopefully leads the way for the likes of Dean and Aktinson to follow his lead
Ping Pong United.
It is just showing off really.
"One of our referees has refereed the CL final and Euros final. Also, my penis is very big."
Good riddance. Never liked him. Hope he doesn't come back to England after a few seasons there. Remember too many crucial decisions against us which cost us points this season alone. Puts himself center stage above the game itself.
Chances are he'll get a tattoo for moving to Saudi Arabia now.

Thanks for the memories, Mark xxx
Upset they didn't take Dean, Atkinson, Oliver etc, with him too.
"Lack of support"
This 100%.
You get the feeling the fact that he had no talent as a footballer has gnawed away at him his whole life and his refereeing career is an attempt to compensate.
Alright so one less problem on the field, but why that move? Isn't the EPL good enough?
With Webb you get the feeling that he has a genuine passion for 'refereeing'.. almost like in his eyes it is an 'art' as daft as that sounds. His role on BT, obviously it is well paid and in the public domain, so again he wants to be known.. but you still get the vibe, he takes it seriously and doesn't come across the type of guy who'd have gone to Qatar during his prime as a referee. He wanted to be the best referee in the world, nothing wrong with being proud about that.
Clattenburg sees refereeing as a means to an end, no issue with that but don't play the victim about lack of support, you orange permatanned cnut.
Money?
Nothing wrong with him moving for money. He was alright.. Loved the cameras, but does the PL have 10 decent refs? He was one of the better ones.
Just saw that press conference of him...what even is this?
I have an intense dislike for him, such a smug and self-absorbed limelight-stealing knob who thinks he is a star, having tattoos of the finals he ref said it all.
In all seriousness, would this move affect his chances of refereeing high-profile matches in the upcoming World Cup?

Live press conference for a referee ffs Seems proper though for the ref with biggest ego in PL. Atkinson too fecking off will be awesome.

How good is thisFair point.
Maybe we should be more magnanimous though. We've suffered several dodgy decisions at his hands, but we also benefitted from his horrific refereeing at Chelsea in 2012, so maybe it all evened itself out in the end.
So good luck Mark. I sincerely, absolutely, 100% hope this sort of thing doesn't happen to you.
