Before the article is resigned to the sin bin, we must recognise the 'Football Association' reaction to Chelsea's hounding of the referee. They would say you mustn't intimidate the ref and that sounds fair and makes you wonder why any one would disagree.......................but when the ref is a knob the FA logic shatters into fragments of a doddery old man's wet dream about the day nurse.
A professional foul in front of his eyes. No lassitude here, a clear game ruling. yellow card, no need to discern intent, held and pulled back, ref standing no more than 5 feet away looking right at it. Yet he feels sorry for the lad awwwwwwwwww just booked him, he'd have to be sent off awwwwwwwwwww shame, tell you what no harm done I'll do nothing just give the foul, HOORAY fairplay wins the day. Then dear oh dear oh dear Eden Hazard, disgraceful takes his shirt off after scoring. The crowd might riot and it'll be his fault, women and children could die, the rules are clear here, shirt off means book him. Now what is this! Willian walking slowly. The B88st*d! I'm not having that, I'm a fair minded man I want fair play, and that is absolutely obscene, yellow card. All I need do now is add the time he wasted as he left the pitch, I'm allowed to do that and ignore the time the fourth ref shows, it is in the rules, so no harm done to Sunderland, but that'll teach him to walk slowly.
