Funnily enough, although I've moved away, I had a walk round Aldershot as a sort of nostalgia trip a few weeks ago. The town centre has turned into a real tip, reminiscent of all those pit towns in Yorkshire when the mines shut in the 80's.


Cant say I was over the moon with the place back in the 80,s mate !...one day Ill go back for the dsame nostalgic trip.


Best hurry up CFTG, Buller barracks and para depot are being turned into houses very soon. The QARANC place out by welligton roundabout is now home to a computer company. Queens hotel and the Pegasus are both still there but Potters Drums has gone too. The Crimea, opposite the footie ground is still there. The command baths still going. Can't think what else there was from the 80's to reference.

Edgar Jeromes , where you probably bought Fred Perry polos and Harrington jackets from is still in business, we bought our lads school uniform from there as he's starting senior school in September.

Patrick other than a distinct lack of soldiers, did you notice how many Nepalese there are in and around the town.

Interestingly I was just thinking before clicking into this thread "why the fuck is this thread still a blight on this forum?"

Just having to see his name is painful.

Slow news day

I've been wondering the same thing. My editor is holding it over until the weekend for some reason.

My editor hasn't made it easy. He's chopped the interview intofour bits five bits by the looks of things. Not quite what I was expecting. Still, the interview was for Football Brisbane and ref development rather than the general public. Hopefully you'll get something out of it.

Dazby, I want to thank you for all your time & hard work in sharing this wonderful interview with us. You are an excellent interviewer & could easily have a job as a football journalist!

Also, I was very pleased to hear Mark Clattenburg answer many of the questions we had posed here. It's good to know that he would welcome the use of replays for calls that are solely based on fact and not opinions.

However, one of Clattenburg's answers confirmed the fact that his calls are different for CL matches, than they are for the PL. So, English teams are immediately at a disadvantage, when they play in the CL, since they play a more physical game! In my opinion, all intl matches need to be played from the same exact and consistent laws and rules. How can players be expected to know which tackles will be acceptable in different countries? It's unacceptable that a dangerous & dirty tackle in the UK, is perfectly fine in S.America.

A glaring example of this inconsistent interpretation of FIFA laws, was during the Copa America & Gold Cup. What's the point of having some of the very best football played, only to have the comp ruined by endless ref mistakes?

Dazby, I really look foward to seeing all the rest of your interview...

That was it mate, it just got chopped up into bits. Thanks for the kind words.

When I did my research on him the controversies that continually cropped up were him commenting to players and them getting offended. After chatting to him I got the understanding that it's just him having a laugh and the players either being primadonnas or not getting that he's joking around.

After watching that he confirmed to me that his total attitude is 'me, me, me!' And he wants it to be his show. Did he come off like that in real life Dazzler? For instance bringing up the Ed Sheeran thing, straight away it reminded me of Froch telling Mayweather he knocked Groves out in front of 80k and it was just really cringy to watch. Did he really say it made world headlines or did I miss-hear that?

I liked him. He seemed genuine enough. He had the local refs in his pocket.
They loved him.

Dazby, I think it is beneficial that the interviews have been edited into different segments. There is a lot of information to absorb, from all 3 referees, plus your own interview, which was nicely intercut with the panel talk. I also really enjoyed hearing about former ref, Eddie Lennie & Krys Szokolai's experiences, in contrast to Mark Clattenburg's experiences.

Clattenburg actually confirmed that he has had to create a persona for himself, of authority and strength, while he is refereeing matches. Away from football, he seems much more reflective, gracious & willing to admit his fallibility. I do wonder if the newer foreign imports to the EPL are actually able to understand Clattenburg's Geordie accent & sarcasm?
Clattenburg also survived a long-term ban, due to business debts and a major controversy, after a fight with John Obi Mikel. So, he's had his ref coping skills tested, more than most.

I highly doubt that the PGMOL or FIFA refs achieved a 97% accuracy record, this past season. Why settle for less accuracy, when it would be so easy to add some extra replay alerts, to the GLT watches the refs wear? With football betting at an all-time high, I'm far more concerned about the PGMOL being cloistered from questions, than Clattenburg breaking protocol, to go to an Ed Sheeran concert!

Dazby, you are a poised & professional on-camera interviewer... Perhaps a future job for you, with the Queensland Lions website... Or, even for MCFC? Many thanks, once again.

Do you think he should be joking around? He's there to be an authority not mates with the players.

Only watched a part of it Dazzer; couldn't bring myself to watch any more as I was losing the will to live and his overall inflated sense of self importance was too stomach churning for me.

A bloated ego of the first order.

However, a couple of questions for you :-

1. Were you ordered to give him an easy ride, or did you not think it prudent, for an Australian audience, to pose the kind of scything questions you'd been advised to ask by members here on this forum ??

2. You've said, here on this forum, that you quite like him and have refrained from putting the boot in and saying what most of the rest of us actually think. On this basis, are you fearful of your editor keeping an eye upon you, 'Big Brother' style and, therefore, causing you to act in a prudently diplomatic manner ??

3. Who was the other bloke with the long hair and glasses; he sure looked like a funny fellow to me ??

Yes, Clattenburg's answers only reinforced my belief that the Champions League is a completely rigged and unfair competition. It won't matter if City play their absolute greatest performances against Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Bayern... They will be held to different interpretations of the FIFA laws, than they are accustomed to playing in England!

When you have refs & players from all over the globe in a competition, the interpretations of FIFA laws need to be consistently the same, from all the refs. So, refs should not be tailoring their calls, to suit the style of play in that country or competition! We can't seem to find 2 refs who completely agree on what defines a handball; offside; interfering with the goalkeeper and most refs have stopped giving penalty kicks altogether! FIFA, UEFA & the local FA's need to do much better at defining the most ambiguous laws and creating a global standard.

In the distant past, the refs were anonymous & practically invisible to me & I rarely knew any of their names. These days, I always check to see which ref is in charge & I find myself counting ref mistakes, instead of fully enjoying the match I'm watching!

Is it too late to import Dazby to the UK & have him ref all of City's matches?!

Watched most of it and tried to skip the bits with the other referees.

A few things that I took from it:

He seemed a much different character in the interview than his on-pitch persona, way more wimpish and seemed to make a lot of excuses rather than being more forthright and decisive in his remarks; he made a stark reference to 'handling' 'multi-millionaires' - I wonder to whom exactly he was referring; and, another quip that caught my attention was describing how notably he'd do his 'research' before each game - I understand from a technical point of view, however, it should, in my opinion, pertain more the dynamics of the competition rather than a specific team...in other words, how much does the pre-conceived mindset of his refereeing judgement alter with each team due to his 'research'? - to me these innuendos speak volumes about his impartiality.

Thanks Dazby for your boldness in putting this out there, kudos to you.
