Mark Clattenburg, who was criticised for his handling of the Merseyside derby, will not referee a Premier League game this weekend.

Everton were unhappy with the official after he sent off Tony Hibbert and then only booked Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt for a two-footed lunge at Phil Neville.

Kuyt stayed on to score his second penalty to give Liverpool a 2-1 win.

And the Toffees were further enraged when Clattenburg ignored Everton's claims for a penalty moments later.

Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher appeared to haul Joleon Lescott to the ground as Everton's nine men fought for an equaliser.


Everton defender Alan Stubbs said after the game: "If the referee looks at the decision again he will see the penalty appeal was right.

Yes, certainly wasn't his finest hour and a half. :)
 
One game missed is not enough I feel. Missed a stonewall pen, another possible, a sending off for Kuyt and clearly influenced by Gerrard. BTW suggesting to a ref that it's a red card is an offence also.
 
Not so sure about the red card suggestion, as the ref was already giving him a card and Gerrard reminded him of the rules. But the penalties he missed were inexcusable.
