Reply to: Racist Card played too many times?

nope but it contains the word Monkey - which could be deemed racist...

although I heard he called Mikel a Cheeky Monkey.......

which again is only racist if you want to make it so

I initially thought he actually said go away Mikel, but with his broad northern accent, the other player, whose name escapes me, thought he'd said monkey, and went into the changing room to tell Mikel, who then approached Clattenberg, and then made a complaint. That's the first thing I read.

Not too sure a grown adult male would call another grown adult male a cheeky monkey mind.

But "I couldn't give a monkey's" isn't racist - is it?

Could be that SAF has some integrity. Chelsea also do have form. I genuinely hope they throw the book at both players and team. Especialy after supporting that cant Terry.

Sir Alex had to stop is as he wanted to select Clattenburg for the next match.

Racist Card played too many times?

Sir Alex had it spot on this time.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Chelsea actually have a history of this, reporting officials, about 3-4 times and they've either been found wrong or have dropped it before it went any further.

Chelsea, pot, kettle. I liked the comment from club chairman Bruce Buck:



Like ****

Bit like the Russian racist fans throwing a banana on the pitch at Chris Samba I think, the Russkiy Footy head said 'Oh yeah, that's just a Russian Language thing, to get a banana means you failed an exam, just were just saying he'd not played well...' - funny how none of my Russian friends heard that one and thanks to Soviet language standards, not much in the way of dialect or accent in the former CCCP....

Reminds of my first night in Scotland, 1994........

Him: We're having a Ceilidh tonight, lots of drink, and lot's of lovemaking....

Me: Excellent! Who's going?

Him: Just the two of us.....

reminds me of my first gig at the BBC

Jimmy S - 'looking forward to the orgy tonight'
Gary G 'ooh yes. just love sh@gging 28 year olds'
EO -'whats so special about 28 year olds'
Jimmy S - 'they are so innocent and sexy'
Gary G - 'and there are twenty of them'

I'm just waiting to be called a 'White Anglo Saxon Protestant.'

Chelsea, pot, kettle. I liked the comment from club chairman Bruce Buck:

Asked whether the referee might have used the phrase 'I don't give a monkey's...", Buck confessed he was not familiar with the expression.
