This review of Suits by referee Mark Clattenburg deserves a red card
Former Premiership referee, Mark Clattenburg, has made some bad decisions in his time, including all the ones that went against whatever team you support, no doubt. But his decision to agree to doing some reviews for a magazine may be his worst yet.
Telegraph and Short List writer, Darren Richman, shared this picture.

The main focus is his review of the American legal drama, Suits, which goes as follows.
“Like anything on Netflix, once you watch a handful you just want to keep watching. Netflix is one of the best things ever invented. Suits is addictive. Living in Saudi Arabia, it helps me get over my boredom.
It’s about lawyers in New York, but it’s shot in Boston. It’s a drama that goes on and on, a bit like Coronation Street. You can re-watch it at any point and not have missed out, if you know what I mean.
You can see that they’ve rushed the last one because they need Meghan Markle out of the show. She was a paralegal who married one of the associates who was a fraud.”
It doesn’t stop there, though. He also shared a partial anecdote about his love of Ed Sheeran, leaving out the information that he was suspended for not waiting for his fellow match officials when he left in a hurry to make the gig.

People were unimpressed.
It sounds like a kid talking about their holiday in front of the class.

Even as a man not obsessed by music, I can recognise that ‘Ed Sheeran is unique’ is *quite* the take.

If a little sarcastic.
Love this. Can someone ask him if Season 4 of Better Call Saul will be up to standard?

Presumably, if he isn’t too sure about an episode, he gets a second opinion from VAR.
