Fergie does it as well but never in a an 'open' a manner as Chelsea tried it. Stinks of bad loser-itis. Clattenburg will not se Chelsea on his rota for a long while yet. The FA should have him there next week but wont have the bottle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The time is right for a respect the refree campaign. About time grown adults manage to shut up to the match leader. They tried that a while ago but the referees were, in general, so inept it got swept under the carpet. It simply won't work while they're basically inviting criticism with their performances.

Guest malandro Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Why should CFC get away with falsely accusing somebody of being a racist? At the very least a grovelling apology and full disclosure of their 'evidence' is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 STATEMENT ON CLATTENBURG DECISION Posted on: Thu 22 Nov 2012 Chelsea Football Club accepts the Football Association's decision regarding Mark Clattenburg and welcomes the fact that the FA recognises the club and players were correct in reporting the matter. The FA states Chelsea took the correct action following the Manchester United match and encourages all players who believe they have been either subject, or witness, to discriminatory abuse to report the matter immediately to the match officials on the day, and in turn to the FA. The club also notes the charge brought against John Mikel Obi. While the player does not deny the charge, he will request a personal hearing to explain the mitigating circumstances. With regards to the Mark Clattenburg decision, the club accepts the case is now concluded and notes the FA states the allegation was made in good faith. Chelsea FC cooperated fully with the FA and provided 11 witness statements covering all events during and after the Premier League game on October 28. Chelsea FC has a duty of care, as do all employers, to act responsibly when such allegations are reported by employees. We did not take the decision to lodge a formal complaint with the FA lightly and followed the correct processes and protocols throughout. The club carried out a thorough investigation, led by outside legal counsel, using all information available to us. As the FA makes clear, it is not uncommon for investigations to lead to no disciplinary charge being brought. All those directly involved have been subjected to scrutiny over the last weeks. Chelsea FC now hopes that all concerned can continue to carry out their duties without prejudice. We are committed to working alongside all referees and their assistants to ensure games are conducted in the right spirit and that all our players and staff accept and observe the match officials' authority and decisions. No apology anywhere to Clattenburg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Chelsea are an absolute disgrace and should have the book thrown at them. If I was Clattenburg I'd be pressing charges for defamation of character too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsted Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Fucking dreadful club and people. False accusations like that deserve to be ruthlessly punished. Clattenburg has been hung out to dry and his life and career will never be the same again. Chelsea need to be sanctioned and not by monetary fines which their amoral stupidillionaire thief of an owner (imo obv) will just laugh off anyway. Put them in Scottish Div 3 with the other cheats, where they belong, or preferably forcibly disband them. I should really calm down, but I am quite cross with the utter shitbag liars.

ScottishMagpie Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'll echo what others have said and say what a bunch of kunts everyone associated with that 'club' is. If the powers that be are serious about addressing the issue then false claims should be dealt as equally strong as proven claims. Like the idea of recording the headset conversations tho would like to see them go the whole hog and have the same set up as rugby and be able to hear whats being said.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's not that clear-cut for me. Chelsea made a complaint based on what they were told by a player, it was investigated and he was cleared. Doesn't seem all that bad... and I hate Chelsea as much as anyone.
