Mark clattenburg, racist?

[zigackly]

Oh, shitcan your nonsense, please.

 

Who loses here? The FA and Clattenburg, obviously. Even if (when) he's cleared, the shit will still stick, because accusations of racism always do.

 

This is an obvious tit for tat from Chelsea for the Terry affair. I am fucking made up with the whole thing because it might make the FA a bit more careful about flinging this shit at footballers in the first place. The FA need to learn that when you're convicting footballers of racist abuse on the basis of no evidence, then the tables can be turned on them in precisely the same way. This is pigeons coming home to roost, and it's awesome.

 

Do you think we could start accusing the refs of diving too?

Heard that he called mata a fuzzy haired ewok twat.

Well as long as he didn't call him Spanish he's sound.

Mark Clattenburg angrily denies Chelsea abuse claims saying: “I’m no racist" - Mirror Online

 

Shouldn't that read something like: I'm no RACIST

And maybe with this picture, although the one they chose wasn't that bad either.

 

Btw, this pic is pure genius photo journalism.

[Torvald Utne]

Is he hitting a high C there?

[Redder Lurtz]

Is correct. But, what isnt right or correct is this black lawyers group are not involved first hand, neither are they party to the procedings. They stuck their oar in purely on the basis of 'what the media reported'! Really? WTF type of country are we now living in where people not involved raise an official complaint with the police based on media reports?

 

He's a devisive fucking upstart that bloke. Thinks he's Martin Luther King. The whole "Black Lawyers", "Black Police", "Black footballers" association things just emphasise divisions as far as I can see, completely unnecessarily. "We want racial integration and equality, as long as we can have Black societies". Just seems like a contradictory position somehow.

[Malarkey]

Them blacks are a right touchy bunch aren't they?

Chelsea v Manchester United: 'Racist gesture by fan' investigated

 

Police have started an investigation after a fan made what appeared to be a racist gesture in Chelsea's League Cup win over Manchester United.

 

Pictures appear to show the man making a 'monkey' gesture during Wednesday's fourth-round tie at Stamford Bridge.

 

United striker Danny Welbeck appeared to be the target of the alleged abuse after losing possession.

 

Chelsea had already started their own investigation into the incident, saying they would examine the footage.

 

"Police have received a complaint regarding alleged racist behaviour at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday," read a Metropolitan Police statement.

 

"An investigation has been launched. There have been no arrests and enquiries continue."

 

A Chelsea spokesman said: "If we have sufficient evidence we will take the strongest possible action, including supporting criminal prosecution."

 

The incident comes after the Blues accused referee Mark Clattenburg of using "inappropriate language" towards midfielder John Mikel Obi in Sunday's Premier League match against United. The west London club has made a formal complaint to the Football Association against Clattenburg.

 

Earlier this year, Chelsea imposed a lifetime ban on a supporter who admitted racially abusing former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.

 

Chelsea captain John Terry is currently serving a four-match ban after being found guilty of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand by the FA.

Front row, camera on him as opposed to the play- not that Im being cynical or anything........hmmmmmmm

[ternando_forres]

This is all getting absolutely ridiculous now

[Dave D]

This is all getting absolutely ridiculous now

 

My thoughts exactly. Its sounds absurd but the manc/media love-in makes me view everything with irrational suspicion.

 

Every time it looks like they are in for a bit of flak, albeit indirectly through Clattenburg, something emerges in the press to dilute it.

 

Statistically, in a stadium of approx 40,000 cockney geezers, 1 racist would actually be a bit of result. 39,999 clean as a whistle. The percentages stack up very favourably

You can bet your bottom dollar somebody went hunting for that to muddy the waters.

[Sandford]

F.A have delivered a not guilty verdict on Clattenburg then. At least its been resolved quickly.

Ferguson doubts Chelsea claims

 

Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson says he does not believe referee Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" towards Chelsea player John Mikel Obi.

 

The Blues accused Clattenburg of making a racist remark during their 3-2 defeat by United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

 

"I don't believe he would make comments like that," said Ferguson. "I refuse to believe it. It's unthinkable."

 

Chelsea have made a formal complaint to the Football Association against 37-year-old Clattenburg.

 

Clattenburg maintains his innocence and neither of his assistants or the fourth official support Chelsea's allegations.

Just supporting one of his 'players' there.

[bouncebrigade]

My god, when will Slur ever stop outdoing himself as an even bigger cunt. He has stuck his gob into these racism incidents over the last year and every time he has come out of it looking like a complete and utter braindead cunt.

 

1. Suarez should never play for Liverpool again due to the non-handshake.

Reality: Looks suspiciously like Evra refused Suarez's hand.

 

2. Ferdinand "embarrassed" him by not wearing a Kick It Out t-shirt.

Reality: A black man can do what he wants when it comes to dealing with matters that affect him more greatly than will ever affect a white, Scottish pensioner. A humiliating climbdown by Slur was then seen.

 

3. He doesn't believe Clattenburg would use racist language.

Reality: How the fuck would you know you horrible old ginsoaked cunt. I suppose that view has nothing to do with the fact that he sent off two Chelsea players at the weekend in a game which your team won.

Just spotted the artcle on the bbc myself. Slur has blatantly, without any evidence whatsover, sought to influnce public opinion whilst an enquiry is ongoing. Probably to turn the tables on Chelsea , his nearest rivals,and to prop up the FA given they cant afford to lose this .So its another favour he can call in I guess. Not blatantly corrupt but pretty damn close. Whats the betting Clattenberg will be reffing when we play the Mancs in the very near future !

Excuse me! After just watching the interview - shouldn't that read Martin Clagburg?

[grimble]

Sir Alex Ferguson says he does not believe referee Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" towards Chelsea player John Mikel Obi. "I don't believe he would make comments like that," said Ferguson. "I refuse to believe it. It's unthinkable."

 

Ferguson, an elderly white man who has recently taken to lecturing black players on how to conduct themselves where racism is concerned, and who was also nowhere near last season’s Suarez – Evra incident, is blessed with what psychics call “the third eye”, enabling him to look into a person’s soul in order to view past events in much the same manner that mere mortals may view a television.

 

Upon hearing Ferguson’s words, the FA immediately dropped their investigations into the claims and have instead decided to hand Suarez a further eight match ban because Ferguson said he heard “on the psychic grapevine” that Suarez was overheard asking where they kept the “Carte Noir” in the coffee aisle at Tescos last week, “Noir” being the French word for “black”, an unacceptable word in any language.

[janmolby]

And Ferguson brings the game into disrepute - again

[Gym Beglin]

I love how there is a question mark after the thread title, sort of implying that there is an innocent-until-proven-guilty element at play. Which is more than the FA or anyone else afforded Suarez.

 

We're so much better humans than any of them.

I can't remember him publicly defending Evra once during the months that case went on for. It took him five days to clear Clattenburg of all charges.

Too busy sticking the boot into Luis to bother discussing Evra.
