I was recently doing a referee course where one of the referee training officers was talking about losing control of games due to brawls. And he brought up the battle of stamford bridge where Tottenham drew to Chelsea in 2015 causing Tottenham to lose the tile race, and then he said “ mark clattenburg one of the better english refs in this country lost control of that game”.

And that statement surprised me because i always heard that clattenburg was a bad ref. So i ask what are or were the best english refs if with even have any that is?

    The truth is that they’re all extremely good referees, who are being held to an impossibly high standard by fans who seldom know anything about reffing.
