Di Matteo and Chav hypocrites

Four match ban and a weeks fine. Seems the going rate. Having said that he didn't call anyone a ****.

I'm sure that's the case, much in the same way that I think Ashley Cole is a twat who also just happens to be black. Doesn't mean I could call him a black twat and get away with it.

The FA have said that just using racist words is worthy of a fine/suspension so whether they were meant in 'a racist way' isn't (apparently) relevant. Saying someone is a Spanish twat is using racist language so if he said it then the FA have got to be consistent.

So somebody calling me an English tosser would be racist would it?

Just as a matter of curiosity, does anyone think that (if, as he is reportedly accused of) calling Torres a "Spanish twat" is racist? Xenophobic, and a bit off colour, perhaps, but hardly racist.

The Mikel "Monkey" thing is clearly total bollocks though.

You have a good point. Where does the racist line get drawn, are we going to get to the point where calling someone a Scouse twat becomes racist if you're a Londoner.

But if he called anyone a twat in an offensive manner then he should face some kind of punishment.

edit: except for that **** Terry - calling Terry a twat is actually a compliment.

who are "they"? Some cocks on twitter?

Well it was from twitter lol, but from a bbc journo

Swaying off the subject slightly, what makes Ashley Cole any more black than he is white? He has a white mother. Same goes for Lewis Hamilton being the first 'black' F1 winner when he also has a white mother.

I honestly don't understand it.

Technically yes. It's abuse that is linked to your nationality. That is pretty much the definition of racism.

...except he lacks both the depth and warmth!

(Shamelessly stolen from someone else on SC in the Terry debate.)

Seems like bad news for a lot of Scotsmen then.

The people who usually brandish the title are usually white middle class toffpots who havent ever been in a multicultural society before being mollycuddled at Eton by their Lord and Baroness parents.

So dont be brainwashed by the media, make your own choices.

Chelsea have a bit of form when it comes to dealing with refs who 'lose' games for them...

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Maybe calling someone a "spanish t*at" is technically racist but we all know its not the same as calling someone a "black ****". It cheapens the fight against racism to suggest so and is using our so called zero tolerance on racism as a tool to get revenge on a ref.

 

[JerryGarcia]

Has anyone checked to see if he said these things sarcastically?

 

[robbiedee]

regardless of who said what, it's funny that it's nearly always Chelsea involved in some form of racial uproar (apart from Suarez thing).

It seems that the apple never seems to land too far from the big fuck off racism tree.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Clattenberg has confirmed an 'extraordinary incident' in his match report. No more details yet.

Also the police are investigating the steward getting squashed and seat throwing etc.

 

[riggi]

So players can go round and call refs all types of names, which they do, quite clearly. But as soon as one gives them something back (allegedly), they cry to mummy. It gets worse this game at times.

Ye agreed but there is a difference when racism gets involved.

Yeah, I hate lazy stereotypes too.
