Chelsea Accuse Mark Clattenburg Of Racism

[Tokyo Blue]

If he has said this, they'll need to play the match again with a different ref, hopefully an impartial one.

Never Ina million years. I agree, but there's no chance!

If he is guilty of this, the whole match is in question. Which, as you say, is why he will not be found guilty of this.

If they have got mics for officials, why do they not just play us the recording of what he said and have it sorted today? Does anyone really believe that what the officials say is not recorded - for the refs protection if nothing else?

[mcfc1632]

My prediction is that he will survive this, be handed the derby to officiate and seize the opportunity with both hands

This will complete his rehabilitation and secure for him full scum support - then go on to follow in Webb’s footsteps as the leading English referee at the next world cup with the certainty of refereeing the final as of course it will not involve England

[Nigels Tackle]

I dislike him immensely but somehow get the feeling that this is not true, or that there's more/less to it than meets the eye. I wonder if the press have got their wires crossed and that 'Spanish twat' was the 'racial slur' in question. If so, Clattenburg will still be in big trouble but we'll at least avoid another tedious he said/she said furore followed by a handshake storm, followed by a T-shirt controversy, followed by who knows what next. Sigh.

david silva had just tweeted that he won't shake clattenberks hand and that he, mata, reina and garrido are meeting in london later today to discuss a new spanish footballers' union.

this is the same ref who made comments about bellamy at half time in the tunnel, and then sent him off later in the match, bolton away i think.

'Let's limit racism to Spanish Olympic basketball'

[Green & Blue]

This shit is now taking the heat off his diabolical display of refereeing yesterday.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

I hope this isn't a severe case of 'sour grapes' on Chelsea's part. They have every right to be angry but I hope their players are not bending the truth here.

[Chinners]

.... unlike Clatterfeck bending the rules eh

[Mase]

I genuinely don't think he's called anyone a "Spanish prick"......actually its Twatenburg so he probably did!!

[Chinners]

Maybe, like 'negrito' in Paraguay, Spanish Prick is not deemed offensive to those dwelling in the Durham area ....

I dont care either way as long as that gelled freak gets banned from reffing another game.

cos they've never done that before )

In 2009 clattenburg was suspended for eight months for buying shares in a race horsing
Group. Owned by the drunken Tramp !!! He claimed he did not know. It is not bitterness it is fact
There are one or two refs who must be removed for the good of the game. Yesterday was ridiculous Unbelievable cheating.

[simon12]

Sorry boys i don`t beleive any of it. A dick head he is but I cannot see him saying any of it. What he said about Bellamy was about him being a pain in the arse..nothing welsh mentioned iirc. Chelsea trying to make a point to the fa nothing more.

Which compromised his neutrality.

It still compromised his neutrality.

Which is the whole point really.

At least they now know how we felt after our game at theirs last year.

[Florida Blue]

Was it me and did I see him pull the yellow out to give to Obi late in the game and quickly put it back in his pocket as he realised the game would have to be abandonned if he gave him a second card? Seems a bit shocking that he would even do that on top of all the other inept calls he made. With the way he was giving out cards, it was a yellow. Though I am sure he just "changed his mind"
