English soccer was slowly recovering from a divisive, year-long racism saga, the
Premier League has been plunged into renewed controversy. And, yet again, the
accusation being levelled is linked to racism—a problem thought to have been
largely eradicated from English soccer in the 1990s. The new allegation appears
unprecedented for the worlds richest soccer league: Chelsea claims the referee
used “inappropriate language” toward two players in the globally televised
Premier League match against Manchester United on Sunday. Midfielder John Obi
Mikel is believed to be one of the players who Chelsea say was targeted by
referee Mark Clattenburg, whose language has reportedly been interpreted as
being racially offensive. It is now being looked at by Londons police force
after a complaint by the head of the Society of Black Lawyers. “This is now
being considered,” the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. “Officers from
Hammersmith & Fulham borough have been in contact with Chelsea.” No one at
Chelsea reported the incident to the police, but the European champions
complained to the English Football Association. “We will work in partnership
with Chelsea Football Club and the Football Association in order to consider any
allegation that is made in relation to the reported events,” police said.
Clattenburg has been backed by referees union, Prospect, which issued a
statement that highlighted the wider struggle against racism. “Prospect is
committed to helping to eradicate racism in football and in society generally,”
Prospect national secretary Alan Leighton said. “In the context of that
commitment, Prospect is offering full support to Mark Clattenburg in relation to
the allegations made against him.” The program for Sundays match included
Chelsea captain John Terry using his column to dedicate the fixture to the Kick
It Out anti-racism campaign and pledging commitment to “eradicating all forms of
discrimination.” But Terry wasnt available for selection for Sundays 3-2 loss to
United. The defender is serving a four-match ban for racially abusing Queens
Park Rangers rival Anton Ferdinand a year ago, although he was cleared in court
of any criminal offence. The saga only concluded with the FA verdict last month,
and the bitter fallout caused deep fractures in English soccer. After Liverpool
striker Luis Suarez was banned for eight matches for also racially abusing an
opponent last year, there were complaints about the leniency of Terrys
punishment. Some players, including Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand,
the brother of Anton, refused to back a Kick It Out campaign in protest last
weekend. But before Sundays match, an uneasy truce seemed to be declared between
the two factions in the casee. Justin Smith Super Bowl Jersey. Rio Ferdinand
shook hands with Chelsea defender Ashley Cole, who had staunchly backed Terry
and was targeted by the United player on Twitter that led to a Football
Association fine. Cole himself was later fined for criticizing the FA
investigation that led to Terrys ban. Now the FA disciplinary department is busy
again with the Clattenburg case. “The FA has begun an investigation relating to
allegations made following Sundays fixture,” English soccers governing body said
in a statement. Clattenburg was already the brunt of criticism on Sunday before
the serious allegations emerged. He sent off Chelsea players Bransilav Ivanovic
and Fernando Torres and allowed a contentious late winning goal to striker
Javier Hernandez, who appeared to be offside when he scored. But for the next
week at least, Clattenburg, who is one of the FIFA candidates to referee at the
2014 World Cup in Brazil, wont be officiating in England. “Professional Game
Match Officials believe that with any football match the focus should not be on
the officials but on the players and the game itself,” the Premier League said
in a statement. “Mark Clattenburg is one of the elite referees in world football
and, in these circumstances, the intense level of scrutiny would detract from
the match and be unfair to the clubs and the supporters of both sides.” In
Scotland in 2004, referee Stuart Dougal was fined 200 pounds ($321) for swearing
at Rangers player Christian Nerlinger during a match against Partick Thistle.
Dougal now fears the Chelsea complaint could lead to officials being afraid to
talk to players on the pitch. “If clubs are going to go down the route that
Chelsea have gone, referees might stop communicating altogether with the players
and that is no good,” Dougal said. “(Referees) might be frightened to talk just
in case somebody twists something they say. If somebody says something in jest,
when you see it on paper in black and white, sometimes it doesnt look good. “It
would be detrimental to the game if referees stopped talking to players because
you need to chat to them, to encourage and coax them along. Referees might be
refereeing under fear of being reported for saying a word out of place.”
European champion Chelsea was also at the centre of another police investigation
on Monday after a crowd surge during the United match led to a steward being
crushed and requiring treatment at a hospital for an injured knee. Chelsea fans
rushed forward after Hernandezs disputed winner for United. “We will look into
it with the club. There should be CCTV,” Metropolitan Police commissioner
Bernard Hogan-Howe said. “Obviously, there was some dispute at the end of the
game, given it had been quite a controversial game.” ’ ’ ’
