So Mark clattenburg has rightly had the case against him dropped because Ramires was the only person to hear what he allegedly heard, none of the players around them heard, it wasn't said in his native tongue and their was no video or photographic evidence to back it up.
The FA have said:
"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."
I believe Ramires thought he heard Clattenburg say what he alleged, easily done isn't it?

Love how they use a manager change to try and bury their back peddling.
Ramirez and CFC should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

If they think Ramires misheard then what word did Clattenburg say? Chunky? Spunky? Donkey?

Agree with Taggs. Roman is the footballing equivalent of Stalin. Except with less charm and wit.
The Chelsea fans conduct has also been disgraceful over the last couple of days.

Even if he did call him a cheeky monkey, it is not a racist slur.
