it will be interesting to see how much chelsea get fined for failing to control an official and how long a ban for the person involved ,i also believe that the fa should charge the manager with bringing the the game into disrepute
It's true.. Chelsea coachs and then Mourinho comment, it is obvious bad loser. Sometimes Jose, it is better to say.. ah well they was good opponent instead of blaming referee - i suspecting nothing changes for Jose despite.
Let the punishment fit the crime, is what I say. The FA should employ a resident psycho whose job it is to give cretins like Ramires a substantial clip around the ear. You'd be amazed at how quickly the dirty tricks brigade would start behaving themselves.
Should suarez be retrospectively punished for this? http://www.ftbpro.com/status/john.a...dead?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=share
Why is a pre-meditated look around and forearm smash to the face a 3-match ban? If I smash some ****er in the face on CCTV I go to court.
I think in sporting context there is room for far more leniency and I wouldn't want it any other way. Impossible to compare games of football to normal working scenarios for more reasons than you could even begin to count.
Chelsea trio Jose Mourinho, Rui Faria and Ramires have all been charged with misconduct by the Football Association. Blues manager Mourinho faces punishment for comments made following the shock 2-1 defeat to Sunderland - his first home defeat in the Premier League as a manager at Stamford Bridge. Assistant coach Faria was sent to the stands after berating the match officials following Sunderland's late winner. Mourinho had to drag Faria away from fourth official Phil Dowd as the hosts' protests turned ugly in the closing stages. Ramires is now facing a premature end to the season after being charged with violent conduct for appearing to strike Sebastian Larsson with a flailing arm to the face. Referee Mike Dean took no action at the time, but FA disciplinary officials have reviewed the footage and he now faces retrospective punishment. The midfielder has already been sent off twice this season, and he could receive a five-match ban if the latest charge is upheld. An FA statement read: "The FA has charged three members of Chelsea's staff following their fixture against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on April 19. "Chelsea midfielder Ramires has been charged by The FA for violent conduct following an off-the-ball incident that was not seen by the match officials but caught on video. "Rui Faria, Chelsea's assistant manager, has been charged with two counts of misconduct. "It is alleged that in the 83rd minute of the fixture, Faria used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official (Phil Dowd). It also alleged that Faria's behaviour following the match referee's (Mike Dean) request that he leave the technical area amounted to improper conduct. "Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in respect of post-match comments he made following the fixture. "It is alleged that Mourinho's comments constitute improper conduct, in that they call into question the integrity of the referee appointed to the above fixture and/or the integrity of Mr Mike Riley, general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, and/or the comments bring the game into disrepute." Ramires has until 6pm on Thursday evening to respond to the charge, while Mourinho and Faria have until 6pm next Monday to consider their responses. Mourinho could not hide his anger after his 77-match unbeaten home run ended, launching into a sarcastic appraisal of the officials in his post-match press conference. "I want to congratulate Mike Dean," the Blues boss said. "I think his performance was unbelievable, and I think when referees they have unbelievable performances I think it's fair also that managers we give them this. "So fantastic performance, he came here with one objective, the objective of making a fantastic performance and he did that. "I think it's also fair, congratulations to Mike Riley, because he's the referees' boss, and what they are doing during the whole season is fantastic, especially in the last couple of months, especially in matches involving the teams that were in the title race, it's absolutely fantastic. "And I also congratulate Mr Mike Riley, thank you."
Not suggesting he gets charged with GBH mate, but it should be 5 games minimum. A full blooded defender can get 3 games for a genuine challenge, this was a deliberate smash in the face.
It's an odd one this, Ramires deserves a ban for sure for slapping Larsson but Mourinho, not necessarily. That ref made some bad mistakes on that pitch, he missed Larsson as he totally cleaned out Ramires on the line, he didn't get the ball so it was a foul all day long and a straight red as much as I hate Chelsea and enjoyed the win for you lot, he got that wrong. He then completely missed the Ramires slap to Larsson, which happened inches from the end of his beak, how that happened I'll never know. Then he awarded a penalty for a foul on Altidore, Altidore slipped, he put his foot on Azpilicueta's calf and slipped, there wasn't a foul there. You lot might not agree, but you certainly won't care either way as you won which is great and for Chelsea it's probably swings and roundabouts, they've had their fair share of luck this season and for you the opposite, you were probably owed some luck from the refs. Mourinho was right to criticise the ref though, if Gus Poyet had have done the same (albeit seriously instead of Jose's tongue in cheek approach), neither manager would be getting fined and that ref would be suspended this weekend for sure. I always think, what if a club tells the FA to **** off when issued with a fine, tells them "See you in court", what happens then? The FA seem to operate outside of the law with regards to dishing out unfair fines, I'd love it if a team took them and dragged them through the courts.
I expect if Larson wanted to he could press charges and take it to court, same as the CPS could if they wanted to, but they wont because it costs too much and they can catch more people doing it on a sat night who they can prosecute. I disagree about it not being as bad because its in a sporting arena. Its worse because kids watch that and replicate it, you don't see many 12 year olds out on the street watching the sat night punch ups. I am not so sure about this one. It was shoulder to shoulder and that contact is allowed, I would have had no complaints if it had been a pen but the rules are very grey when it comes to that sort of challenge.
I can forgive the ref (just) he was waving play on and looking straight past the incident imo, how all of the assistants also missed it is another matter
Ramires elbowed Larsson towards the end of the first half at Stamford Bridge, a few moments after the Sunderland midfielder had barged him off the ball in front of goal. I cant stand the BBC reporting. HOw the **** can they say Larsson barged him off the ball and still claim to be a neutral news feed ? twats.
're the penalty. Any team would scream fir it. Altidore didn't "slip" as his standing leg was displaced by Azpis trailing leg. Even Alan "I hate Sunderland" Shearer said stonewall pen. Let's not.forget Azpi pulling Jozy's shirt Number of times before the challenge. As for the challenge in.front of goal, maybe you'd want a pen or expect one. But the contact was shoulders which is a permitted challenge. The only legal contact in.football without playing the ball
