Absolute Omnishambles....
Very on-brand for Marinakis to hire a former ref and not actually know the role the hiring was for.
Oi how did he get past the swear filter
didnt notice that on the original tweet so deletedOi how did he get past the swear filter
He did more on Gladiators, and that's saying something!Made a bit of money, paid to watch some football and wrote a statement. Not a bad few weeks work.
Isn't he one of Forests players?Absolute Omnishambles....
He couldn't even do that properly. Always used to emphasise the wrong words.He did more on Gladiators, and that's saying something!
He should be named Mark Clatterbung!Made a bit of money, paid to watch some football and wrote a statement. Not a bad few weeks work.
Thank god for that some Gen Z'er would have gone off the scale seeing thatdidnt notice that on the original tweet so deleted

I assume he thought Clattenburg would be mates with all the rest and could grease a few wheels to get decisions to go Forest's way.
Good job you preserved in by quoting!Thank god for that some Gen Z'er would have gone off the scale seeing that
didnt want to offend any greeks, geordies, referees, marks or any other demographic involved. got to keep it pg in 2024!Thank god for that some Gen Z'er would have gone off the scale seeing that
Just like Gladiators then....I bet he's earned a nice little tickle for doing bugger all.
As an advisor he can only advise the club? Self explanatory reallyThere is no doubt in my mind that Nottingham Forest employed Mark Clattenburg hoping officials would favour Forest. They didn’t, so he had to go.
Going by the comments he made when appointed, that sounds like exactly what Marinakis wanted much like when he hired refs back in Greece.There is no doubt in my mind that Nottingham Forest employed Mark Clattenburg hoping officials would favour Forest. They didn’t, so he had to go.
It's not what you know but who you know....Going by the comments he made when appointed, that sounds like exactly what Marinakis wanted much like when he hired refs back in Greece.
Beat me to itIsn't he one of Forests players?
Almost as successful in that as he was in his refereeing career, then....Going by the comments he made when appointed, that sounds like exactly what Marinakis wanted much like when he hired refs back in Greece.
Very similar then to the word 'S****horpe' you can call your best friend, and your worst enemy it.
Very true, you Malaki.Very similar then to the word 'S****horpe' you can call your best friend, and your worst enemy it.
You daft S****horpe.Very true, you Malaki.
Not sure if you’re a gamer but one of the Assassins Creed games is set in Ancient Greece and the word malaka gets used a lot.With due apologies to the Mods ... I think the word some folk are looking for here is "malakas", not "malaki". Or it certainly used to be.
Note it is not necessarily an offensive word at all and all depends on context and relationships - you'd greet your mate with "Giassou malakas; ti eginai?" ["Hello me old mucker; how's things going?"]. As well as curse your worst enemy with the same term.
A related word, brilliant but not really translatable in its full glory & deliciousness, is "malakias"; "malakas" is the person, while "malakias" is the collective noun for "a load of rubbish" or translation as one wishes [a load of wink, some might say].
"Ti malakias" is one of my lifetime favourite terms - you can really make it ring. Think "What a crock of s**t" and amplify it. But again, not always directly offensive or hostile.
Greek has some top earthy rude language, let me say. This is a particular favourite of mine. Uttered with a flamboyant double-handed downwards swipe to one's "bits". A chat about say our good neighbours the Boggies would by necessity include many of these gestures, for instance, demonstrating their utter irrelevance to anyone but the terminally insane.
Malaka is one of the great insults/terms of endearment.Not sure if you’re a gamer but one of the Assassins Creed games is set in Ancient Greece and the word malaka gets used a lot.
