That particular match was full of bias decisions.


Evans fouled Torres and as Clattenburg blew his whistle for a foul, Evans feeling guilty was already holding his head in his hands in anticipation of a straight red being the last defender, imagine the surprise when this biased referee pointed a second yellow card at Torres and sent him off for simulation.



Don't even get me started on the winning goal scored by United on the day.

They covered for you because you are "One of them" and such bad publicity will be damaging to the image of the English FA.

Some times I actually pity some of these Caucasians, especially in the sporting world... They literally have to keep walking on egg shells around players of African descent. Nothing can even be said in jest.

Typical example was the recent case of Cavani.

Civilization may need to be reviewed.
Anything that seems anti-women, anti-LGBT or racist is demonized and the person is criticized like the devil himself.
Glad the FA investigated and dismissed the claim. See how a man's diligent refereeing career would have become history years ago.

You don't think these forms of discrimination you mentioned should be criticized?

Former Premier League referee, Mark Clattenburg, has revealed that allegations made by former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi, almost made him quit.

In 2012, Clattenburg was accused of racially abusing the Nigerian player.

This followed a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge .

Clattenburg had sent off two Chelsea players Branislav Ivanovic and Fernando Torres and the officials missed an offside for United’s winning goal.

In his new autobiography, Whistle-Blower, he wrote: “Chelsea made a formal complaint to the FA three days after the game. They were saying I had racially abused Mikel and for the first time, I was made aware of the specifics of their accusation, which was also leaked to the press.

“According to Chelsea, I had said to Mikel, ‘Shut up, you monkey.’ The language disgusted me, it was damaging and fictitious.

“Twenty-five days after the game, the FA dismissed the case. I was not guilty, something I had known all along.”

International football often carry accusation and counter accussation.

There was a recent case of John Fashanu accusing the late Otto Gloria of demanding bribes from him in order to allow him to play for the Green Eagle ( Super eagle )

Late Otto Gloria is not alive to defend himself but other sportsmen like the mathematical Chief Segun Odegbami said it is doubtful Otto Gloria who is a brazilian and understand no english except his own native Brazilian Portuguese to demand money as bribe from John Fashanu.

There was the case of Jonathan Akpoborie who accussed Clemense Westaof of denying him a place in the Super eagle to play in some major tournament.

I believe life is history. Some day some personality will want to TELL THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCE EITHER IN THE FORM OF A BOOK OR SPEAK TO THE MEDIA.

Your lies and bias na like Buhari love for Fulanis and Cows...

Toress commited a red card offence with a professional foul and he wasn't the last as you can see in the first picture. Ferdinand was ahead of him already ...Torres simulated a foul to get Evans a red card but back fired on him. Clattenburg was spot on. Only Chelsea fans watches the back of the TV back then.

The last goal was a classic counter attack that got Van Persin shooting from distance that clearly beat the goal keeper but rebounded and a second delivery from Rafael somehow found Chicharito after a goal mouth melee for a simple tap in. Chicharito as usual was the Chelsea nemesis scoring in every Chelsea matches he played...Clean goal! You have no basis whatsoever concerning the authenticity of the goal as there were no single protest by Chelsea players on the pitch as shown in the last picture. Only the sore pained fans will complain.
