So many candidates - so little time!

Lance will do fine for me.

Chelsea fans would probably choose Referees Tom Ovrebo or Mark Clattenberk or if it was a posh "do" - both!
|
I'm with Robin - Lance.
Somebody else having introduced Clattenberg I'm increasingly of the view that it's going to blow up in Chelsea's face.

unfortunately, I agree! - worst thing possible the Met getting involved!

I'll agree with that too. Accusations of racism are an easy thing to make if you want to deflect the blame from yourself and messy and hard to disprove. We don't know what was really said at the moment, but I'd be astonished if an experienced referee who was miked with a direct link to the other officials would do that.

I do hope so.

Indeed. Decades of vile fan, player and management behaviour from that club. Why any right thinking person isn't ashamed to be associated with them, heaven only knows. Not that I'm biased. ;-)

I can`t think of anything that hasn`t happened at "other" Clubs, before! - and before somebod mentions J.T, think Rooney, Giggs, barton and several other Clubs players, fans and management.!
I Don`t know why the British Media seem to persecute Chelsea so much, it`s almost a vendetta at times! - as Champions of Europe, they should be proud of their achievements for British Sport.

Its a cesspit of corrupt money. They became champions of Europe after spending over a billion pounds of corrupt money smuggled out of Russia by an ex Russian mafia hood who runs the place like a third world dictatorship, sacking managers at a whim and buying players because they are fashionable, not because they are any good. And they won by killing the final to a stifling war, not through any skill, grace or flair. The few English players they have are criminals lacking in morals or any shred of decency.
Apart from that they are a beacon of hope in the sporting world.

Tends to be Chelsea and Liverpool in the main though, doesn't it? You can pretty much guarantee that one or both clubs/their players/their fans are constantly in the news for one wrong reason or an other. It never seems to end. Barton is just a pain wherever he plays (I'm actually surprised he never pitched up at Chelsea, just his sort of club - I suppose he would have done if they hadn't won the Russian lottery and continued to bob up and down to the 2nd division which their history indicates is their true level).
There's always been a funny smell emanating from Walham Green Dog Track FC, since they were first conceived out of an ill-advised and partially failed property development project.
Can't say I particularly see anything to be proud of in that club - their recent masterclass in parking the bus which enabled them to lift the European Cup (a bit like Greece at Euro 2004) wasn't really much of an achievement for British sport in any case. Somewhat overshadowed by our Olympians and Paralympians recently, and put in true persepctive.

Football is a business - is it not trendy for business to be corrupt? - ask the Banks, NotW, BBC, Parliment even, can`t blame Chelsea for keeping up with the times it`s a Dog do as Dog does World!

>> Football is a business -
It would be a bankrupt business
>> is it not trendy for business to be corrupt? -

If we took Chelsea into public ownership when it went bust like the banks, we could run it like British Leyland.

It's a point devonite, I mean Zero and I follow clubs owned by a porn baron and an Egyptian grocer with a colourful history.
But seriously, if you can't see that Chelsea's constant record of ill behaviour in pretty much all aspects for many decades now isn't arguably the worst in football (with the possible exception of the equally toe-curling Liverpool), then your glasses are sporting a pretty heavy shade of rose tints. It is a constant source of amazement to me that normal, pleasant people aren't at least a bit ashamed to associate themselves with those clubs.

"Football is a business"
I'm afraid I have to disagree there. As a regular watcher of non-league football, I have often contemplated what classification of human activity football should fall into. People often talk of 'the football business', but it can't be a business as it is largely run by monkeys who don't understand that businesses exist to make money and keep going without 'sponsorship'. Idiot supporters pay silly charges to support their club and, in times of trouble, youngsters donate their pocket money - so, is it a charity? What charity would pay its workers £30k+ per week?
My conclusion is that football can be only one thing ........ a religion. It has all the vital ingredients - unrealistic dreams, blind faith, appeals for money, high priests, fanaticism and violence. Football, like all other religions, divides people into those who go along with it - sometimes fanatically, and those who simply can't understand what all the ridiculous nonsense is about.

Apparently Angela is quite down to earth, according to my Berlin resident cousin. No 'airs' at all. The broomstick's a bit suss though.

Perhaps you're being ironic, but I agree. Less of the grandstanding than we get from our lot.

No I wasn't. Would that our own politicians had half the courage.

The second one is baffling.
I helped with a community display at the weekend, as I do almost very year. It would have been literally impossible for that to happen. All the fireworks were staked yards apart and bagged in plastic before firing and lit through the plastic bag with a portfire.
