No charges brought by the FA against Clattenburg.
Now ban Chelsea.
Thought they've probably gotten away with it:

Equally The FA is satisfied that the allegation against Mark Clattenburg by Ramires was made in good faith. It is entirely possible for a witness to be genuinely mistaken and convincing in his belief.
But Mikel will be charged with misconduct. :haha:

STATEMENT ON CLATTENBURG DECISION
Posted on: Thu 22 Nov 2012
Chelsea Football Club accepts the Football Association's decision regarding Mark Clattenburg and welcomes the fact that the FA recognises the club and players were correct in reporting the matter.
The FA states Chelsea took the correct action following the Manchester United match and encourages all players who believe they have been either subject, or witness, to discriminatory abuse to report the matter immediately to the match officials on the day, and in turn to the FA.
The club also notes the charge brought against John Mikel Obi. While the player does not deny the charge, he will request a personal hearing to explain the mitigating circumstances.
With regards to the Mark Clattenburg decision, the club accepts the case is now concluded and notes the FA states the allegation was made in good faith.
Chelsea FC cooperated fully with the FA and provided 11 witness statements covering all events during and after the Premier League game on October 28.
Chelsea FC has a duty of care, as do all employers, to act responsibly when such allegations are reported by employees. We did not take the decision to lodge a formal complaint with the FA lightly and followed the correct processes and protocols throughout. The club carried out a thorough investigation, led by outside legal counsel, using all information available to us. As the FA makes clear, it is not uncommon for investigations to lead to no disciplinary charge being brought.
All those directly involved have been subjected to scrutiny over the last weeks. Chelsea FC now hopes that all concerned can continue to carry out their duties without prejudice.
We are committed to working alongside all referees and their assistants to ensure games are conducted in the right spirit and that all our players and staff accept and observe the match officials' authority and decisions.
A cesspit of a club run by a gangster and staffed top to bottom by the dregs of the planet. It appears no penalty will apply, in fact it looks lie the authorities haven't even considered sanctions. But you can get an extra ban just for appealing a red card. The priorities are certainly in order then.
Okay, we don't like Dowd or Dean so a freebie race accusation should take care of them next time they turn up. Because that's the precedent being set here isn't it? And what about that foul society for black lawyers? Do they walk away from this as well? Or possibly they feel this is a racially motivated decision by the FA? Why not? All it would take is a frivolous accusations and they are in business.
Yeah but their money is 'good for the game' remember?
:rolleyes:
As much as the accusation itself, can Clattenburg have grounds for taking action against the media outlets who set out to destroy his reputation in the immediate aftermath of the event? Articles like http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...ea-allegations and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/9641911/Mark-Clattenburg-affair-highlights-era-of-celebrity-referees-with-a-secret-lust-for-fame-is-a-recipe-for-disaster.html.
Basically the whole thing stinks top to bottom.
I'm glad that awful chant will be nipped in the bud sooner than expected.
FIFA said no to Drogba returning to the chavpit on loan.

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has been charged by the Football Association over the events following the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.
The 25-year-old is accused of using threatening and/or abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour in or around the match officials' changing room at Stamford Bridge.
The charge follows the FA's decision to clear referee Mark Clattenburg over allegations he used racist language towards Mikel during the 28 October clash.
The Nigeria international approached Clattenburg after the match after he was informed of the allegations by Chelsea team-mate Ramires.
A statement from Chelsea said Mikel did not deny the charges but would request a personal hearing with the FA to explain the mitigating circumstances.
I'd be seriously embarrassed to support such a classless club.

Didier Drogba's hopes of an immediate move to a European club from Shanghai Shenhua have been dashed by FIFA.
The Ivory Coasthttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif international striker was being linked with a loan move to former club Chelseahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif after the Chinese Super League ended this month.
The 34-year-old requested special permission to join another club outside the international transfer window to maintain his fitness levels ahead of the African Cup of Nations, which starts on 19 January in South Africa.http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
However, FIFA upheld its rules in previous cases when making Major League Soccer players David Beckham, Thierry Henryhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Landon Donovanhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif wait until January to make loan moves.
FIFA said in a statement: "We can confirm that the player Didier Drogbahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif submitted a request for authorisation to be registered outside an open registration period for a club on a loan basis.
"FIFA has informed him about the relevant regulations... that players may only be registered during one of the two annual registration periods fixed by the relevant association."
FIFA said the only exception was when a player's contract expired outside a transfer window.
Chavs :haha: just not their week.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...n-from-ChelseaQuote:
Mark Clattenburg will seek compensation from Chelsea after being cleared of using racist language to John Obi Mikel, according to his union.
A Football Association investigation found the referee had "no case to answer" after the allegation, made by Mikel's team-mate Ramires, was contradicted by three other witnesses.
And both Clattenburg and Professional Referees' Union spokesman Alan Leighton reacted to the verdict by criticising Chelsea's decision to go public with their complaint.
A statement from the referee read: "To know you were innocent of something but that there was the opportunity for it to wreck your career was truly frightening.
"Racism has no place in football and this experience should not discourage those to speak out if they genuinely believe they are a victim of abuse.
"However, there are processes that should be adhered in order that any investigation can be carried out in a manner that is fair for all parties involved.
"I know first-hand the ramifications of allegations of this nature being placed into the public domain ahead of a formal process and investigation. I hope no referee has to go through this in the future."
Leighton told Sky Sports News: "What we now need to happen is for Chelsea to accept the verdict, to fully apologise unreservedly to Mark for the actions they've taken in damaging his career and to compensate him for that.
"Furthermore, I think it would be right for them to make a donation to Show Racism The Red card and Kick It Out to help the fight against racism that we need to continue in football and elsewhere."

Financial penalities are meaningless to the chavs, whatever they payout Ambramovich will just steal from the Russian people. They should be docked enough points to see them relegated. Ideally the club should be wound down and everyone put out on the street because that's exactly what they tried to do to Clattenberg. But it'll be a trivial slap for Mikel with that giant anus Ramires walking away from it unscathed. Why do you have to go to court and answer charges if you are accused of being a racist yet there is no punishment for falsely accusing others and putting them in jeopardy - why is the latter a civil rather than criminal issue? There should be equality in the law or no law at all.
Apologise for what exactly?
Mikel is being charged with misconduct! CFC I believe handled it the way they were supposed to -- the FA recognises that!
And I am sure CFC will sanction Mikel accordingly.
Jeez;I know rival supporters are supposed to take digs at the others'clubs but ffs must everything be so polarised? :rolleyes:
How about an accusation that didn't even carry with it a case to answer? How about a guy that hasn't been able to work for three weeks (and might not be able to in the same way ever again) - because of said accusation?
Also, you're working under the impression some Chelsea fans aren't embarrassed from this whole incident and if you look on their forums, that isn't the case.
You chose to mention how everythign supposedly has to be so polarised between supporters; how come you're always there to defend other clubs?
Defending other clubs? ---- how about pointng out the hypocrisy and holier-than-thou shit that the untouchable 'self-anointed' real fans spew here.
Chelsea are scum; norwich are dirt, wolves are scrotes ------ i am sure i'll fit right in spewing such shit.
Now onto the subject: CHELSEA WERE OBLIGATED TO TAKE MIKEL'S COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AND REPORT STRAIGHTAWAY. They did; Mikel turned out to be a liar --- he as been charged accordingly. He will be punished and HE WILL APOLOGISE, i hope.
Hold on, you talk about holier-than-thou and self-anoited comments, then you come in to a thread and do exactly the same thing by presuming people are being hypocritical and you are the truth sayer to lay everything straight.
Chelsea weren't obligated to leak anything publically, actually and if they were there was no need to rush through that leak within about half an hour of the game finishing. There won't be many consequences resulting from it for them though as a club as you point out.
You can put capitals in to make it seem like you're speaking the truth but it doesn't really mean anything because it is you that is 'spewing shit'. Mikel has not been charged because he is a liar (as far as I am aware it wasn't he that even made the initial complaint, he was told third hand) but he has been charged due to alleged threatening and/or abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour around the referees' changing rooms.
There were two accusations made towards Clattenberg and the Club were hasty in going public almost immediately with no consideration of the impact both professionally and personally on an innocent man. I doubt there would have been similar accusations made had they won and the Club most likely would not have gone public in such haste.
Quite why they weren't content to just go public on practically every game deciding decision going against them is beyond me.
Oh dear. What a meltdown. :haha:
Actually, going public was not an issue (for me anyway) --- for one, there was no speculation about what was going on; no one was in the dark about the exact allegation. In the football world rumours and speculation are even more pernicious IMHO
It is the player(s) that made the allegations who need sanctioning and have to apologise. I wont complain if my employer looked after my interests in such manner.
It's quite hard to tell when it occured. Some of these guys tend to come in 100mph, confrontational to start an argument/seek attention, and the whole basis for their argument tends to be accusing you of some exaggerated nonsense which you've never said. If they could keep it reasonable and not so aggressive then there might be a decent discussion to be had. Otherwise I might as well stay in my cave and yawn.
