Not a big miss as he just one of many average refs we have who constantly make big mistakes. Weird that in his last match he made another and actually apologised for it at half time. Made another second half of course

Very suspicious mate. Clattenburg has been given all the big games and just received the Bestest Referee Ever award. How could he go from that to being the main officiate in a 2 tier league that nobody really cares about? Money could be one, but how does he get his fix of being on TV.
Whether it's push or pull, there's very much more to come from this.

Can't decide whether he has been pushed or else.... Or there is some other sinister reason. Never for a minute could I see him as the best in the world given all the regular gaffes we see him make plus the eccentric style he has of reffing. Yet as you say he loves to be the center of attention when he " performs" and he surely has chosen to disappear for what I assume is a shed load of dosh

What I found strange was that it wasn't the FA or PiGMOL who put him forward for the last Euros, it was the head of UEFA ref's, Collina. It showed to me that there was still an underlying issue between them and that all was not right, probably going back to his original suspension which was suspiciously overturned.
Whatever the reason,I'm sure the likes of Burnley won't miss him, he bummed them in their last game away to Burnley.

that's a pretty impressive effort by anyone's standards

Rats will follow the $ leaving the clique poison the next batch of refs.
