Dave Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 He'd have to be pretty stupid to racially abuse a player, in a game he's refereeing, on telly too. Sounds like sour grapes tbh. Either way, his career's probably over. What makes you say this btw mate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Twitter (LOL) reckons he called Mata a 'Spanish twat'. How the fuck is that racist ? It's sort of racist. He shouldn't be calling anyone a twat on the pitch like, pre-fixed with nationality or otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What makes you say this btw mate? Just the scale of how much this will inevitably be reported on (its already started) Guilty until proven guilty, even when proven innocent, in the British media.

Ketsbaia Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'm sick of all this racism in football stuff. Dull, tedious stories that drag on for weeks. And right now they're blending into each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Colossus Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I think this'll follow him in the future (his ridiculous officiating today, not the racism accusations) but not ruin his career. Totally sick of the way football's going on lately. From handshakes to t-shirts, everything just seems to be a story to talk about, it's not about the actual football anymore. This tweet from Phillipe Auclair sums it up: Is the Premier League still about football, or just about narratives related to it, a screen on which to project neuroses and prejudice?

Toondave Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So he was racist twice in the same match, once to a black man and then to a white man - for what reason? Absolute bollocks if you ask me, if (when) it becomes clear Chelsea are bullshitting then the FA should really come down hard on them. If you're going to fuck over some poor referee then slag off his refereeing ability, dont accuse him of something that the media will have a fucking field day with regardless of any evidence as of yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphrodite Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Chelsea have form for this- they made similar claims about Graham Poll which were shown to be untrue. Think they're trying to send a message that they don't want him refereeing them again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 What were the claims about racial comments by a member of ground staff? Seem to remember it being Chelsea-related but I think it may have been Chelsea ground staff towards Man Utd players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The cynical part of me is wondering if it isn't some made up thing by Chelsea to get back at him since just moaning about it would achieve nothing for them. Sad that the thought occurred to me and I'm finding it hard to dismiss I reckon that's exactly what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
