Name them......this season.... I haven't really counted to be fair. But Mourinho claims, this season, there has been 1 contentious decision in our favour.
The fact is that we have had some horrendous decisions against us that have cost us points in a title race. On top of this we have had a player banned due to retrospective punishment when the Burnley t**t commits two acts of GBH and nothing is said. We feel aggrieved and rightly so. It seems to be one rule for us and another for others.
Considering all you do is mainly make snide remarks and offer no worthwhile discussion I'd **** you right off this board for being a constant pillock
You always resort to this rather than just addressing the perfectly valid points I make. I've posted on the Chelsea 606/not606 board for years and only you and a couple of cronies have ever had an issue with it. Seasoned posters like Drogs, District and Bodanki seem cool with me.
not a bad comeback whoever edited my post. my point still stands though, to say its gbh is a bit ridiculous much like mourinhos claims that the fa are against chelsea. end of the day youre still 5 pts clear
For now. But many more refereeing performances like against Burnley and we will 100% not win the league.
Which ones would those be, especially this season? The drive against us is not the FA, their incompetence is legendary, yet look at the treatment of Costa V's the Burnley clown. It's the media who are driving this. Just listen to any Sky commentary when Chelsea are involved, read the newspapers about Costa "the criminal". The silence is deafening since the FA announced no action against against Burnley player. Imagine if it was the other way around. Actually you can't because any Chelsea player putting in a tackle like that and the ref would run faster than Black Caviar to pull out the red card.
Because no one gives a toss about Ashley Barnes just as no one gives a toss about Charlie Auston or David Nugent or Nikica Jelavic. Big clubs will get scrutinised more. Rooney can barely sneeze on the pitch without someone being outraged. At the moment Chelsea are the top side and are there to be shot down as all the top sides have been before them. The conduct of the players and Mourinho can't help either. If he shut his mouth occasionally there wouldn't be half the chaos between Chelsea and referees IMO but that's not likely to happen any time soon.
Hear hear. We get some bloody awful refs down here, but you just have to get on with it, sometimes you win sometimes you lose. Moaning and wishing relegation on a team just because you couldn't beat them is infantile. This thread highlights the difference between Recliners and Benches.
i do not ever remember united getting this treatment when pushing for the title and as for jose keeping his mouth shut about refs !! what about fergie? no body lambusted them after a loss like he did, yet there was never a media campaign against united like there is now for chelsea
SAF Ref comments: OCTOBER 2003 Hit with a two-match touchline ban and a £10,000 fine for a sustained four-letter outburst at fourth official Jeff Winter during a game at Newcastle. Ferguson had been angered by some decisions made by referee Uriah Rennie and kicked a ball in frustration before remonstrating with Winter, for which he was sent to the stands. DECEMBER 2007 Accepts a two-match touchline ban and £5,000 fine after admitting a charge of ‘using abusive and/or insulting words’ towards referee Mark Clattenburg. Incensed by Clattenburg's failure to clamp down on Bolton's ‘over-aggressive tactics’ during a defeat at the Reebok Stadium, Ferguson had ranted at the official at half-time and was sent to the stands for the second period. NOVEMBER 2008 Stung with another two-match touchline ban and £10,000 fine for shouting angrily at referee Mike Dean after a game against Hull. Ferguson fumed after Dean failed to send off Hull's Andy Turner for a foul on Michael Carrick and after the Tigers were awarded an innocuous penalty. NOVEMBER 2009 Receives a four-match touchline ban, two of which were suspended, for questioning the fitness of referee Alan Wiley after a draw against Sunderland. ‘The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. He was not fit,’ said Ferguson, who later issued an apology. MARCH 2012 Punished with a five-match touchline ban and £30,000 fine for questioning the integrity of referee Martin Atkinson after a match at Chelsea. ‘You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that,’ he said. The remarks were deemed worthy of a three-game suspension and that triggered the suspended ban hanging over from the Wiley affair. DECEMBER 2012 Escapes punishment after confronting Mike Dean, assistant referee Jake Collin and fourth official Neil Swarbrick to protest after a Newcastle goal was allowed to stand at Old Trafford on Boxing Day despite initially being ruled out for offside. Newcastle boss Alan Pardew suggested Ferguson should have been sent to the stands for his outburst but the Scot hit back at his counterpart, saying he was the manager of a ‘wee club in the North East’.
