I can't believe Clattenburg would make a racist remark it beggars belief
The whole thing sits uneasily with me, is this CFC fighting back at all the bad press they've had in the past year especialy after a bad result with some bad decisions, I just hope whichever player made these allegations is 100% if not Cfc will look like fools and should suffer the consequences. Maybe they'll retract their claim in a couple of weeks as they did with Graham Poll.
Torres should have gone for the Cleverley challenge, he only stayed on the pitch because Cleverley got up and got on with it unlike Johnny Foreigner who would have been halway through a Triple Salco !!

So Ramirez and Luiz thought they heard Clattenburg use the word Monkey and told Mikel, who then kicks down the door to the ref's room threatening to break his legs.
Chelsea have now employed independant Lawyers to interview all three players. Should have done that from the start and saved a lot of egg on face, which without a shadow of a doubt will be forthcoming for Cfc.
It's also very concerning to learn that the Society of Black Lawyers only reported this to the Met based on what they'd heard on Sky Sports and in the Media. If ever a group of people should understand Innocent until proven guilty then surely it's lawyers and one can only assume they did what they did because of race as all sensibility seems to have been lost.

Did anyone watch the footballers football show on Sky Sports last night? Of course dominated by Chelsea. Ray Wilkins was one of the guest panel and when he was informed that Ramirez heard the offending word, told Luis who told Mikel who then went looking for Clattenberg he was like "with no disrepect but when I was with Chelsea Ramirez could hardly speak a word of english" so I really do wonder exactly what was spoken.

The Police are wise enough to know the full story, FA to follow suit within a week ? Most probably

I find it disgusting the the Society for Black Lawyers are unfairly using Clattenburg as a vehicle for their own purposes, they could destroy the guy.

If the FA find the same as the police, ie insufficient evidence, rather than not guilty, he will forever be tarred with their accusations.

Hopefully the FA will find not guilty, the police had no choice but to say insufficient evidence because he wasn't on trial.
