Why do you care?

Oh wait, is it the prospect of your star player picking up a ban?

You do know the history between Mikel and United, don't you?

[hornetrider]

Why would I?

So a bloke may have been racially abused by a ref and because he didn't sign for his club, this is how you react? How unpleasant.

[CIE560]

hr: Exactly! A statue of Mark and Howard please.

BJG1: I don't believe the accusations for a second.

Seeing as the refs are mic'd up this should be one of the easiest things to find out. It's either true and Clattenburg is in a lot of trouble or whoever made the allegation will be.

It's not recorded so it will be down to the assistant refs to report what they heard, if they did indeed hear something racist being said.

Not true, it could be a genuine, but mistaken, allegation.



Has Jon Obi Mikel gone all "Is it 'cos I is black?" or the like, or what?



RE: the history of JOM and Man Utd, he 'signed' for Man Utd from Lyn Oslo, there were some contractual wranglings, and in the end, he went back to Norway then signed for Chelsea , who paid Man Utd £12m so it didn't go to a FIFA tribunal.

This won't end well.

Two wrongs don't make a right but as we've heard before in TV documentaries etc the language players seemingly normally use to referee is not exactly above board either.

It could be a simple misunderstaning, perhaps the ref said "it was a stupid block".

Or "Don't you snigger at my decisions, this is serious business" etc

Anyone care to quote Ron Atkinson for posterity...!?

Clattenburg would have to be very very silly to say something.

[wongthecorrupter]

Not sure but he is one crap ref

[bad company]

Clattenburg is a clown IMO.
