Police Drop Mikel Obi Racism Case by saintvc(m): 11:43pm On Nov 13, 2012
Angry ;-> to paste. Just read it here


The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that it has dropped its investigation into complaints over alleged racist comments made by referee Mark Clattenburg.

The official had come under scrutiny after Chelsea duo John Obi Mikel and Juan Mata both raised complaints following the Blues 3-2 Premier League defeat to Manchester United last month.

However, Police have since stated that "without a victim and/or any evidence that any offence has been committed", there is no line of enquiry that can be pursued.

A statement from the Metropolitan Police read: "An investigation was launched into alleged comments made during a football match between Chelsea FC and Manchester United FC at Stamford Bridge on October 28, 2012.

"This follows on from a complaint received by the Metropolitan Police Service on October 29.

"Enquiries were made and no victims have come forward.

"If the situation changes and a victim and/or evidence to support an allegation of a crime comes to police attention then further enquiries will if appropriate be made."

Chelsea quickly dropped the Spaniard's allegation against the 37-year-old, although they have continued to support the Nigerian midfielder, with club chairman Bruce Bruck once again discussing the complaint on Tuesday.

"The reaction has been very unfair," he told the Evening Standard. "We weren't interested in any confrontation with the referee or anybody else, had no thoughts of revenge on the referee.

"We were guided by obligations that are imposed by the Football Association and also as an employer. FA rule E14 basically says a participant shall immediately report to the association any incident or matter which may be considered to be a misconduct.

"I spoke to the players involved, either because they were allegedly the recipient of that abuse or had heard it, three separate times. I asked them if they could be mistaken. I asked them, if they might have heard 'Mikel' instead of 'monkey'. I thought I had covered that base.

"[The decision] was made after a great deal of anguish and after talking long and hard that evening about what should we do."

We knew this is how is gonna end, thesame politics surronded that of terry and ferdinand last time....where terry was suspended when they knew he was going to retire from international football. To some some extent, this is a poetic justice to mikel cos of his preference of whites/england over blacks/nigeria. No matter what...ur people are ur people!

If there's no proof then the case should be dropped or do you expect the accused to be prosecuted without any proof? Infact i think Mikel and Juan Mata be locked up for false alarm. Chelsea must be buried this season. Rubbish.

This actually sheds a bit of light, maybe he just wasn't pronouncing mikel well enough. I don't condone racism at all but one has to wonder if the club were just looking for a bit of attention after losing.

I think "false accusation" should be made a crime and offenders liable to pay fines or risk prison time.

So that before you open your buccal cavity to call someone a racist, you will be absolutely sure that you heard right.

Metro police did the right thing. Since their is no evidence to prosecute the ref. Mikel was only told by his fellow player. So i expect chelsea fans to shot their fucking and godamin mouth up. Case closed.

Chelsea fans are all agberos one way or the other. See this one for example. Do you know that majority of the people that killed the Uniport4 were Chelsea fans? Don't you ever argue with a chelsea fans because he has one thing in his pocket and that's a Chelsea Dry Gin, the moment you cross your boundary, he'll show you that the Chelsea bottle has different uses.

Actually Mata had since denied ever hearing anything: http://www.futaa.com/football/article/racism-row-mata-denies-mikel, same with Romeu. It is the person who started the whole thing; 'HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED" that should be fined and suspended. Racism should be fought to a standstill but a person who falsely accuses someone of racism should be sanctioned as well. E.O.D

You can understand why Coogar is one of the most respected chelsea fans. His behavior encapsulates what chelsea stands for.

As someone said,chelsea has the moral obligation to report any alleged act of racism against their players.
It is what happens in any organisation,if any of their member is subjected to racial abuse.
It is left for the police to determine the veracity of the claim.
If chelsea hadn't reported,and the story leaked,chelsea would be accused of trying to cover up racial abuse,which could be criminal.

Awkward moment wen some Nigerian fans were xpecting a different story frm dt corrupt Association..... Absolute rubbish!

But ansa me: What evidence did dt FA have against Luis Suarez when they banned him for 8maches?

2. Terry's case in which footages showed he called Anton Ferdy ''fvcking black cu_nt'', what did they do?

3. Were u xpecting d ref to be found guilty thereby soiling d hypocritical image of their FA that claims to b ''saints'' and ''perfect''?

No wonder Sepp Blatter says: ''I think English football is run by idiots after d world cup bidding''
