"The regulatory commission's independent chairman, Christopher Quinlan QC, emphasized that the independent regulatory commission accepted, as at the time he threatened the referee, the player genuinely believed that the referee had racially abused him.

Crazy Excuse for Defeat

Infact, he should be given 20 match ban and charged 600million pounds for that wrongful accusation to a referee. No doubt the referee's decision wasn't the best because it killed their moral. Nevertheless, that's too cheap an accusation from a defeated side. When you lose a match, don't blame it on anyone or anything just move on. To me that was very light a punishment. All through his 7 yrs at Chelsea, it's only back pass I know him for than moving forward. All players except him alone hasn't scored a goal till date. It's good Manchester United never got him if not he would have been thrown out with left hand.

That does not absolve the referee of the accusation. Maybe the QC means the ref does not have to answer to that because he is above the law and can call a blackman anything including monkey.
One day the monkey they're looking for in Africa gogo market e no go return.
