Chelsea touchline issues resolved

[ClaretTony]

Statement from the club

Issues arising between both benches during Monday night’s @premierleague match at @ChelseaFC have been resolved between the coaches and clubs, and a line has been drawn under the matter.

[ClaretTony]

Chelsea have issued the same statement

[Vegas Claret]

We probably reminded them of the obscene abuse Dyche received from Conte.

[Devils_Advocate]

More likely those involved on both sides realised they were acting like children and decided together to draw a line under the sorry affair in a sensible grown up manner

[Burnley Ace]

Not acceptable- a very serious allegation, that we subjected their manager to racist abuse, has been made. Chelsea should publicly retract that allegation or we should step up and accept it and deal with it. Our reputation as a BNP supporting, whites only team etc has been perpetuated worldwide because of this incident.

Don’t believe it but I’m agreeing with you. I suspect it can get lively at times in the technical area so good that the two groups have decided to move on.

[Cleveleys_claret]

Sorted out the proper way. Would be hard to prove who said what and which side were the worst culprits. All it would of done is caused weeks/months of rumour mongering when very little could have been proved. Now lets draw a line in the sand and move on.

[Cleveleys_claret]

Think it will have been pointed out to Sarri by the 4th official that he kept encroaching the Burnley technical area which would have included further disciplinary action if he had took it any further.

[Chester Perry]

till next season - I suspect

Reasonable effort I suppose. May snag one or two

[Cirrus_Minor]

Probably got Ashley to kiss and make up for them.

[No Ney Never]

Or could it be that given the recent results for Arsenal and United, that a point from the Burnley game was not a bad result after all?

[Burnley Ace]

So you think it’s a acceptable that having been castigated in various media and the stereotype of the racist Burnley BNP supporter is perpetuated on social media, for it just to be dropped?

As I’m sure you are aware **** sticks. Chelsea should make it quite clear that the accusation is withdrawn

Yes they should but they won't

Nothing Chelsea do will change anyones perception of Burnley and Burnley as a place sadly.

Where does it say that the accusation has been withdrawn? It may just be that we’ve said sorry and Chelsea are happy with that.

I thought you may have caught one or two initially, but not a single nibble

The standard of fishing on this forum isn't what it used to be. I blame the Polish immigrants for all the poaching they get up to

[Lancasterclaret]

Its because people who you used to think were fishing turn out to be 100% serious (and of course in most cases, absolutely off their tits)

On the plus side, at least theres ducks, geese or swans to get in the way of a good cast

[Burnley Ace]

If that’s the case then Burnley’s statement is inadequate and if Woan or Mercer (as the implication is the alleged comments came from of them) should be apologising.

Why the desire to see this play out in public?

[Burnley Ace]

It’s already in the public. Why do you want it brushed under the carpet. If an employee of BFC has been accused of making racist comments then the club should make a statement confirming the veracity of the allegation

[Hibsclaret]

Sarri was still banging on about it in his prematch interview in a cryptic ‘what was said should remain on the pitch’ kind of way...As others have said mud sticks and it would have been nice if he could’ve just apologised and we move on (ie. to back up the statements from both clubs). That would have been the classy way to draw a line under it...but it is Chelsea we are talking about so I guess anything with class is likely to be absent. Interesting that it wasn’t mentioned at all in Sean’s conference....

No one has been accused of making racist comments. Chelsea haven’t said that and the Premier League would have been all over it if they had. As Sean Dyche said, it was all a bit of handbags that’s all. Whatever needed saying by either ourselves or Chelsea to clear the air has been said and everyone will move on. Whatever it was won’t be worthy of another column inch, it’s over.

When you say ‘banging on about it’ you mean he was asked what was said and replied ‘it was a strong conversation but in my opinion what was said has to stay on the pitch’. The press conference then moved on.

Not a single report say anything about racism. In fact it clarifies that any FA charge would be ‘abusive and indecent behaviour’, no mention of racism.

[Burnley Ace]

Whatever! Rule E3(2)

[Rick_Muller]

The Sun link clearly states Racism, but it is the Sun...
