AlanSkÃrare Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Theres only one person who can sort this out, time for Peter Herbert to take his one man war against racism to Italy ........ and for the UK to close its borders the moment he steps on the plane. Seriously, bad stuff but not surprising. Herbert seems to have handled this issue terribly. There was and is room for a discussion regarding the problematic issues with the word "Yid", but that discussion should be aimed at raising awareness of the history of the word and the fact that many jews still regard it as offensive. The whole prohibition-agenda has just dictated the debate and helped trivialise things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Norwich chief executive David McNally has confirmed the club will speak to police about alleged racist comments directed at defender Sebastien Bassong. The Cameroon defender headed a late equaliser to earn the Canaries a 1-1 draw at Everton in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday and was believed to be the subject of racist abuse on Twitter later in the evening. Norwich are aware of the comments and McNally tweeted on Sunday: "For those asking last night, we will be following up with the police regarding the racist comments reported after the game." He later added: "Not relevant which team they support. Don't accept racism from anyone and so these comments will be reported to the police." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 It sounds like Ramires told Mikel what he thought he'd heard, without checking it out with his team mates first. Mikel reacted by bursting into Clattenburg's room and confronting him. When the other Chelsea players don't back Ramires up, he then probably feels he still has to stick to his story, because otherwise he's dropped Mikel in it. When Ramires does that, Chelsea feel they have no choice but to make a complaint, because of their obligations as an employer. All a sorry mess. Ramires and Mikel. The brains trust? Pretty penny if the suing is handled right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 So in the space of 48 hours there's been 2 incidents involving people from Wearside and Racism. Seems to be a report of racism every other week now. I don't think mediums like Twitter 'help', in that it attracts idiots who think they have a platform to say what they want. I'd like to think that it's being reported as it's being clamped down on more, rather than racism becoming more prevalent in the sport, but I'm not too sure.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 There's no reason at all for Clattenburg to sue, best off for everyone if they just move on. I'm sure that's what he'll do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8314045/John-Obi-Mikel-has-been-suspended-for-three-games-for-storming-referee-Mark-Clattenburg-s-dressing-room-after-Chelsea-s-defeat-to-Manchester-United John Obi Mikel has been handed a three-match suspension and fined £60,000 for his actions following Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United. The midfielder entered the referee's dressing room after the 28 October clash at Stamford Bridge to confront match official Mark Clattenburg. Mikel had been informed by team-mates that Clattenburg had used inappropriate language of a racist nature towards him during the match, allegations which later proved to be false. The Football Association acknowledged the circumstances that led to his actions and said the levels of the ban and fine had been imposed accordingly. A statement on the FA website read: "The Regulatory Commission's independent chairman Christopher Quinlan QC emphasised that the Independent Regulatory Commission accepted, as did The FA, that at the time he threatened the referee the player genuinely believed that the referee had racially abused him. "But for that factor the suspension would have been significantly longer." Mikel accepted the FA's charge of "using threatening and/or abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour in the official's changing room" and will now miss the Premier League games against Sunderland and Southampton as well as the Capital One cup quarter-final against Leeds.

Guest bimpy474 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Honestly how can you racially abuse someone for being black then praise one of your black players seconds later? Mental isn't it. Tell you this story from 1986. I was at the Southend v Northampton game. Ended 4-4. I remember the Southend fans making monkey noises at a black Northampton player......then it continued as he passed to another black teammate. Southend won the ball in a tackle and ball ended up at the feet of Richard Cadette, a black Southend player, the Southend fans continued with the monkey chants for a few seconds then starting laughing. Football has come a long way but nowhere near far enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malandro Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Honestly how can you racially abuse someone for being black then praise one of your black players seconds later? Because, when you get away from the hysteria, in reality their prejudice is based on the colour of the a player's shirt not the colour of their skin?

Cajun Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 So they are a black player wearing a yellow shirt but because they aren't wearing a black and white shirt they are a black cunt. Sorry I don't understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 People see it as a stick they can use to pick on players, so if he's of a different team they think it's reasonable to make racist abuse.

Dokko Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It's canny shite seeing all this abuse lately, whether in the stands, twitter or Facebook. The Suarez incident and continued support of the player afterwards opened Pandora's box and it just hasn't stopped since. It could be of course that it is all just being highlighted because its in the media's eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
