Mark Clattenburg is the hot topic today as Chelsea launch racism allegation against the referee.
The English referee made some rather doubtful decisions on Sunday night, during the match between Chelsea and Manchester United. Clattenburg stole the stage with two red cards and failing to see an obvious offside. The first red card is not to be questioned, while Fernando Torres received his second yellow card for a dive that never was. However, it was not the controversial decisions that caused most rage on Sunday.
After the match, Chelsea lodged a formal complaint against Clattenburg for, ironically, racism. Media, today has revealed what the referee should have said on the pitch. According to the Daily Mirror, Clattenburg is alleged to have called John Obi Mikel a 'monkey' while he named Juan Matta as a 'Spanish twat'.
Furthermore, Mikel should have tried to force his entry in to the referees dressing room, yelling that he would break his leg.
All this comes after the John Terry saga finally seemed to be forgotten and will not be well accepted in the F.A., however; it was known today that Juan Matta never heard the referee calling him a 'Spanish twat' and this has raised doubt whether there has been any racism at all. According to Romeu, “Neither Juan nor Fernando [Torres] told me they heard it because from what I have understood they didn’t hear anything."
Clattenburg, who has denied the allegations, will now be investigated by the London Metropolitan Police, as well as The F.A.. The football world, will be following this closely. If it is proved that Mark Clattenburg has acted unprofessional and racist against the Chelsea players the F.A. will have to take action. John Terry was punished hard, even though the police cleared his name, and if the Football Association doesn't penalise Clattenburg just as hard they will be a laughing joke. That if he has acted as blamed.
