Not just sour grapes

After Saturday’s Merseyside derby, I noted that referee Mark Clattenburg had handed the contest to Liverpool. Apparently, it wasn’t just Everton supporters who saw it this way, because Clattenberg has been removed from the list of referrees who will participate in Premier League matches this weekend.
Saturday’s match had the makings of a classic derby until Clattenburg became Liverpool’s 12th man. I hope Everton has seen the last of him this season.
