Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has voiced his support for Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who recently criticized refereeing decisions following his suspension. Dewsbury-Hall is set to miss Everton's upcoming match against Crystal Palace after accumulating five yellow cards in the first six Premier League games.

Dewsbury-Hall's frustration stems from two particular incidents. The first occurred during the Merseyside derby against Liverpool, where he was booked for taking a quick free-kick. The second booking that especially rankled the player came in a 1-1 draw against West Ham United for a challenge on Kyle Walker-Peters. Dewsbury-Hall appeared to have won the ball cleanly in the latter incident, leading to disbelief and frustration.

Following the West Ham match, Dewsbury-Hall took to social media to express his feelings, stating, "Forgive me if I'm wrong, and I might be, but some of these decisions are so hard to take. Mind boggling".

Mark Clattenburg has weighed in on the situation, seemingly siding with Dewsbury-Hall. Speaking on "Beyond The Back Four," Clattenburg said that Dewsbury-Hall has every right to be 'disappointed' after Everton ban. While the full details of Clattenburg's analysis are not available in the search snippets, the headline suggests Clattenburg believes the refereeing decisions against Dewsbury-Hall were questionable.

The booking against West Ham means Dewsbury-Hall will be suspended for the match against Crystal Palace. This is a blow to Everton, as the 27-year-old midfielder has been a key player since his summer signing from Chelsea, featuring in every minute of their Premier League campaign until now.

Everton manager David Moyes has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions. He described the decision to book Dewsbury-Hall against West Ham as "really shabby". Moyes also highlighted the "strange" yellow card Dewsbury-Hall received against Liverpool for taking a quick free-kick. According to Moyes, the standard of refereeing in general has been poor.

Other figures in football have also commented on the controversial decisions. After the Merseyside derby, teammate Jack Grealish was quoted as saying he had never seen a player get booked for taking a quick free-kick and suggested that the Anfield crowd may have influenced the decision. Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer have also agreed that Dewsbury-Hall's yellow card in the Merseyside derby was harsh. Former referee Dermot Gallagher noted the unusual level of scrutiny on the incident, though he did say he wasn't sure it was a yellow card but that he didn't know what the referee said to him.

The situation highlights the ongoing debate about the consistency and quality of refereeing in the Premier League. With managers, players, and pundits all voicing their concerns, it is likely that the discussion around refereeing standards will continue throughout the season.
