LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 One thing that should be done off the back of all this is that the microphones the Ref and assistant have should be recorded. That would have settled this incident quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuneaton Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 the mic may not catch everything though. it would still be thoroughly investigated in the good spirits of anti racism in any case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 One thing that should be done off the back of all this is that the microphones the Ref and assistant have should be recorded. That would have settled this incident quickly. They did a trial yonks ago, Arsenal at Millwall i think it was, with David Ellleray as the ref. It was mental, Tony Adams called Elleray a cheat over not getting a decision, others were swearing their heads off. Elleray could have sent 10 players off for bad language. It really did show how hard it can be for ref's. Here is some of it. dqeecs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 dunno what the fuss is about not allowing recordings; the rugby has the ref mic'd up all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Friend told me about going to see footy in the states and overheard player disagreeing with ref by shouting "that was SHOCKING ref, SHOCKING", mate and his dad burst out laughing at how tame shouting at the ref was and got a lot of odd looks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Dan Roan @danroan PGMO ready to let Clattenburg ref this weekend but after talks both parties agreed in his interests not to pending FA/police investigation getting silly this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Under the rules of football is swearing an offence? If I was a ref and someone told me to fuck off I'd red card them. Referees need more support through replays and technology there is no way they can see everything, the fact fifa wont use technology shows how backwards they are.

geordie2000 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 yes swearing is an offence if directed at a match official. IIRC the law wording is "foul and/or abusive language towards a match official" and is a red card offence. However Graham Poll said on 5live, that officials are told to try and keep 22 players on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Some of the stuff Rooney (just using him as an example) gets away with is disgusting like. If you're openly telling a referee to eff off then you should walk. It's ridiculous that they've let it go on so long to the point where it now seems acceptable.

Benwell Lad Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 If the accusations levelled at Clattenburg are false I think that almost everyone connected with football in any way will want to see Chelsea Football Club and the players who made the allegations very severely punished.

Tisd09 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Will Chelsea be clamped down on though? Will the authorities want to be seen to be sympathetic towards people standing up to racism. The FA may find Clattenberg not guilty but still think Chelsea are ok to report what they "thought" were racist comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
