🔥 Mark Clattenburg Opens Up on the One Match He Wishes He Could Officiate Again — Says Every Big Call Favoured Liverpool! 🔥
In a rare and brutally honest confession, former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has revealed there’s one game in his career that still haunts him to this day — a match where, in his own words, “every major decision went Liverpool’s way.”
Clattenburg, known for officiating some of the most intense fixtures in English football, admitted that this particular encounter left such a lasting mark on his career that the fallout was enormous. After the controversy, he claims he was barred from overseeing that club’s matches for nearly six years, an unusually long period that speaks volumes about the tension that followed.
Without holding back, the ex-referee described how things spiraled after that game — with fierce criticism from fans, media backlash, and even professional consequences that changed how his career unfolded. He explained that it wasn’t just about a few wrong calls, but a series of moments that, when added up, gave the clear impression of bias toward Liverpool — something he insists was never intentional.
Clattenburg reflected on the pressure referees face in high-stakes matches, admitting that even the most experienced officials can have off days that stick forever. He confessed that this match, in particular, is one he wishes he could go back and officiate again, just to set things right and silence the endless debates that have followed him ever since.
⚽💭 “It was one of those nights where everything that could go wrong, did,” Clattenburg admitted, adding that he still thinks about the game whenever discussions about referee decisions flare up.
The revelation has reignited conversations among fans about refereeing fairness, VAR, and the mental toll the job can take — especially in games involving clubs as massive and emotionally charged as Liverpool.
🔥 It’s not often a referee opens up like this — but Clattenburg’s words remind everyone that even those holding the whistle carry regrets that never truly fade.
