Chelsea fans here calling for the head of Clattenberg based on alleged racism need to have a firm look at themselves. Exactly how many of you called for Terry's head?

First, I don't see anyone on here asking for anything else, in relation to the racist remark allegations, other than swift resolution to the issue.

I would like to see Clattenburg go for his general incompetence. Sadly the issue of what he said to Mikel and Mata has overshadowed the issue of his suitability to referee on grounds of competence.

If he made inappropriate comments, his position as a referee is untenable. Even if he was just swearing at Mata, it is unacceptable for a referee. If a player swears at the referee, the referee should take actions against the player (unless the player is Rooney in which case he can do what he wants). A player has no sanction against abuse from a referee. A referee should not behave abusively. If he does, he jeapodises his and every other referee's authority.
