If the Fa find the ref guilty, surely anything more than a 4 game ban for him will smack of double standards? He did have a shocker though!

If I was a Chelsea fan I'd be f***ed off tonight. Even from a neutral point of view, I had a grump becuase it ruined what was up to that point an incredibly good game which turned shit instantly.
That said, I find it hard to believe a referee would be stupid enough to be racist. I mean, really?
If its for racist comments, he'll be banned. If its for giving Hernandez's goal and sending off Torres, he'll be given United's next 10 big matches.
Shit ref. Makes shoddy decisions week in, week out.
Players cheat constantly - and try to con the ref all the time. Then they have the temerity to be upset when refs make mistakes. Unbelievable.

According to The Mail he allegedly called Mata a "Spanish twat" and also used a racist term to describe Mikel.
Did you see how many of them shouted in his face? I'd swear back at them too. I know the guys not perfect but you reap what you sow. Clubs and the FA have allowed players to behave like yobs for years. I'd be amazed if his comments were racist, but am not the least bit surprised that he swore at the players. Spoilt, abusive bastards.

I've always liked Mark Clattenburg actually.

Anyone remember that documentary from 15-20yrs ago when the ref David Elleary was microphoned up for an Arsenal game, (I think it was against millwall). He was called a cheat and all sorts of shit by the players. I'm sure the clip is on YouTube somewhere. I'm not a pro lip reader but it certainly looks a lot worse these days. This is surely a case of the pot calling the kettle black*

Kevin Day is a Palace fan! Prick. Very good video though, especially the way Elleray dealt with Tony Adams! "Stand up". Domination!
He was appalling today. Appalling to the point that you'd genuinely have reason to question whether there was more to it. Baffling decision to send off Torres. Dreadful.
What was baffling about sending off a man for diving who was already on a yellow card ?
More to it to it ? Whatever do you mean by that ?

I don't think he was THAT bad, I've seen far worse refereeing performances barely get mentioned but because it's in favour of Man United it's a big issue. Do people really still believe in the pro-United conspiracy? I thought the Torres red card was extremely harsh and he seemed very intent on cracking down on all possible dives which is going to lead to cards because there are so many every game. Did you see the Everton game, there was a deffinite theme there too of the referee booking possible divers at all opportunities. Might be a coincidance, but both might have been told to be really stern and not give much benefit of the doubt. I'm all for booking divers and stamping it out, and you're going to get mistakes when you do that because you can't be 100% sure everytime.

So the studs dragged down Torres' shin pad was diving was it? The offending player (Evans) has a recent history of tackles like that (Shelvey for example). Torres probably should have seen red instead of his first yellow but that was not a dive.

Before people start getting in a daily mailesque frenzy over this, too late for some posters already it seems!, it could be a complete load of bollox. After all we are talking about Chelsea here, a club with a recent history of lying and racism. He sent two of their players off ffs, sounds like an incredible case of sour grapes designed to try and drop him in the shit, it'll come to pass that the players 'misheard' or 'misunderstood' his comments but the aim will have been achieved by then of trying to cast doubt on him as a racist. f***ing horrible club Chelsea.

You started off well and then descended into Mailesque rage! I don't think you can honestly criticise Chelsea FC for the actions of Terry, can you?

Football being dragged in the gutter again(once again Chelsea involved ) another story that's going to dominate every back page of the newspapers tomorrow
Such a shame such a good weekend of football I wonder if Chelsea had won or held on to the draw anything would have been said
Week after week football getting bad publicity the feel good factor of sport and the olympics is well & truly over
