    Clattenberg

    Still being investigated by FA but the Met police are taking no action as there is no viable evidence of any offence. It would seem that Mr Herbert (chairperson of the Society of Black Lawyers), who did not see or hear the alleged offence, was shall we say mistaken ? :thinking about:
