We have had some bad referees over the years at Elland Road, and after seeing Mark Clattenberg High Five an opposing player when they scored I didn't think he would be overtaken, But Graham Salisbury has taken the crown!
Most Inept refereeing performance I have ever seen.
It got to the stage after he gave 3 corners in a row that weren't corners that the Kop where shouting Corner at everything!
Definite penalty totally ignored, letting fouls go causing players to get stressed so much that they lunge in!
Truly awful refereeing, Clayton should've been sent off (2 footed) Becchio got a yellow for pushing their defender in the face (if hes gonna book him should be red)!

The guy was inept on Saturday. I've seen some bad 'uns this season, but he topped it.
I think you're right about Clayton - i've seen them sent off for less. Corners became a farce and the penalty was - it was a blatant body check.

I seriously thought Clayton was off, and Becchio pushed the lad in the face (albeit he went down easy)

Yeah the three Christmas games, Boro, Portsmouth and Leicester were really, really awful referee's.

That Portsmouth one last season was unbelievable, stonewall penalty turned down, too many poor standard refs.

I went away to Leicester last Christmas and we got a penalty turned town for a hand ball, Football League Show showed his hand was right in the air, ball then went to Snoddy, they snapped him in half, booking, not even a free kick, they ran away and got the penalty.
