If you thought the Chelsea/Man U travesty couldn't get any worse....you would be wrong.

If you saw the travesty that was Chelsea vs. Man U then you know how pissed every Chelsea fan is today.  With two TERRIBLE calls both going against Chelsea, or more FOR Man U, I can't blame fans for being a little more than upset. First was Fernando Torres' second yellow card call for diving, link here, in which Torres is clearly clipped in the shin by Evans yet somehow gets a card for diving. To make matters worse Chelsea gave up an own goal late which should have been disallowed because Chicharito was a yard and a half offsides, link here. 

Well it's all gotten worse now as Chelsea have lodged a formal complaint against referee Mark Clattenburg for using "inappropriate language" directed at Mikel Obi and Juan Mata.



Via ESPN News-The Premier League referees' union pledged its "full support" Monday to Mark Clattenburg after Chelsea accused him of using "inappropriate language" toward Mikel John Obi and Juan Mata.

"Prospect is committed to helping to eradicate racism in football and in society generally," the trade union, of which the referees' union is a member, said in a statement. "We will be making no further comment at this stage."

Clattenburg is waiting to hear whether the England Football Association will launch an investigation into allegations he made racist comments during Manchester United's 3-2 win.

Chelsea last night made a formal complaint to the match delegate, whose report was expected to arrive at FA headquarters Monday.

Mikel's agent and Chelsea did not comment Monday, but the club did confirm that it had decided against holding a press conference Tuesday to preview Wednesday night's Capital One Cup clash against United.

Chelsea's complaint against Clattenburg, 37, could hinge on the evidence of the assistant referees who would have heard every exchange, according to ex-referee Graham Poll.

"A referee's microphone is on open. Everything he says is heard by two assistants," Poll, who refereed 1,544 matches during his career and officiated at two World Cups, told BBC Radio 5 live. "So if Mark said something, the assistants would have heard it."

Former Premier League referee Jeff Winter said Clattenburg won't officiate a match again if the charges are proven true.

"I'm not saying referees should do it, but there seems to be one law for one set of people and one law for another, but this inference that racial language has been used is very, very serious," Winter said.
