Referee Race Claim: Chelsea Need To Be Sure

This week amid all the controversy, claim and counterclaim about racial abuse some really entertaining football has broken out.
With 12 goals in the Reading-Arsenal League Cup match on Tuesday followed by nine in last night's Chelsea vs Manchester United encounter at the Bridge fans can't say they didn't get value for money.
And yet despite the goal glut we are still talking today about Chelsea's decision to press ahead with their official complaint to the FA that Mark Clattenburg used "inappropriate language" towards John Obi Mikel in their defeat to United at the weekend.
Last night Chelsea confirmed they were dropping the other allegation that the referee used inappropriate language towards Juan Mata in the same match, but they seem certain of the Mikel claims.
It goes without saying that Clattenburg's career is at stake here, not a four-match ban and a fine, but the whole thing - the rest of his life.
Mikel, Ramires (who does not speak good English) and another player are said to have provided written statements that the referee used the racist slur "monkey" in his address to Mikel.
Clattenburg denies saying any such thing and is determined to clear his name.
He is understood to have the support of the two assistant referees and the fourth official at the match.
They were all on the same headsets and could hear what was said with mobile phone clarity.
So Chelsea, a club just emerging from the other side of the John Terry race row, have to be seen to be absolutely 100% sure they are right and they believe they are.
While Clattenburg is said to remain angry and confused.
