Chelsea denied a crystal clear penalty. Hands ball by Naismith.

The club believe they cannot apologise for bringing the racism allegation because Ramires, the only player who claimed to have heard the comments, still believes he heard Clattenburg use the offensive words.
To apologise fully would, they believe, expose Ramires and suggest they do not believe him. The club maintain they acted in good faith and followed FA procedures in reporting the incident as quickly as possible.
So, the FA is charging both Chelsea and Everton for failing to control their players.
It sounds like a good thing right? But then there is this:
I mean, why bother at all. At least that's how the media will see it.
Did you happen to watch the incident by any chance? (not talking about about seeing pictures here). Because, if you did, you wouldn't be talking about it.
McCarthy was completely at fault there, he stormed out and all Bane did was stop him. Perhaps it wasn't the most gentle way to do so, but still my point stands.
I'm not saying there's a campaign us, it's just that the English media seems to be lopsided when it comes to Chelsea. We're the heels of the PL for some reason, it doesn't feel right.
Compare it to Liverpool last year for example; you were getting dodgy calls, yet you were the media darlings, and you were hailed despite falling short. Chelsea would get the booing treatment if any of that were to happen. If I'm missing something then I'd greatly appreciate someone pointing it out to me.
As for Costa I have no comment about him. I despise him as much as the next guy, but he does seems like a nice fella off the pitch, definitely the life of the party type.

chelsea fans being racist?
that's new.
a minority of chelsea fans are decent and aint racist inbred scum![]()
UJ, you are one of the people i like most on this site, but i don't see the relevance to post this here in this thread.
The fact that these are Chelsea fans is not relevant. They are not Chelsea fans, they are not idiot Chelsea fans, they are idiots.
Oh and i'm old enough to know that in the 80's (and earlier) Chelsea's fans were known to be among the most racist. Correction: some loudmouth Chelsea fans who got all the press' attention.
So basically, there are two sorts of Chelsea fans:the traditional Chelsea fan who is a racist scumbag and the newer Chelsea fan who isn't racist, but who is a glory hunter...
UJ, my friend, i'm disappointed in you.
I would guess that Liverpool fans would be the last ones to stereotype other fans. Haven't you guys seen what stereotyping can do ? Heysel anyone ? Hillsborough anyone...at last there is proof that the Sheffield police was to blame and not the Liverpool fans.
And what do Liverpool fans do (i'm also using a generalisation): they stereotype other fans. Chelsea fans are racist scum...
You should have started a thread about racist fan behaviour and then posted that link. We should not be blind for those disgusting things. But this has as much to do with Chelsea as Liverpool fans were to blame for Heysel or Hillsborough.
there are idiots in every fan base...
