[the truth]

A balance has to be drawn with so many people being accused and falsely accused in this trial by twitter, trial by media age
today we saw a ref falsely accused on second hand information by a brazillian player called ramirez who I dont think speaks any english...it now transpires that he alleged that mikel was called monkey by the referee, the ref says he simply called him mikel....the rest of the allegation seems to have disappeared...the chelsea player mikel is now being investigated for abusive and threatening behaviour....who knows what abusive comments he made at the referee as do so many players, yet that abuse is ignored in a system of total double standards.

the ONLy way this will slowly rebalance is when the falsely accused get paid more and more compensation and false accusers will become far wearier before making public allegations instead of going quietly and properly via the fa , the police the lawyers....chelsea went public and now they must pay for that. the same club backed terry to the hilt when he was accused. why? self interest. in the end terry was found innocent in court but guilty by the football authorities. what a mess. this case ultimately seems like a misunderstanding. however in cases where the charges are totally made up or as with the lord and the alleged abuse, the sheer callous unprofessionalism of phillip schofield should have seen him sacked. In many cases of serious false allegations totally made up for personal gain, those people need to go to prison. period
