I have no idea how Costa wasn't sent off and notice how them Chelsea players reacted to get the Arsenal bloke sent off.
IMO Costa should get a ban..... talk about unsportsmanlike behaviour.... Unacceptable... I would not be surprised if he found himself persona non grata on the pitch....
My landlord's a season ticket holder at Stamford Bridge and he said even they were all embarrassed by it. He will be a marked man by refs for a while now - not that it does Arsenal any good
Garth talks bollox and comes across as a petulant schoolteacher himself. Mike Dean should of sent off Costa in the first place and then Gabriel would not of reacted as he did. Garth has got a face that you just want to punch.
I have always tolerated Morinho... and welcomed him back to the Prem as he added something.... But now I really am finally coming to the conclusion that he is a nasty piece of work.... The whole incident with the Lady Dr being another example. Chelsea used to be a bit of a thug club years back and seems to be reverting to type. i am surprised more managers, ex-refs and ex-players are not coming out over this ...
Just to clarify, I did not intend to suggest Costa should not be punished, more that if Mike Dean had done his job properly and given them a talking to after the first incident, the whole debacle could have been avoided! As Crooks says, people pay a lot of money to watch a football match, not at a prima donna referee putting himself in the spotlight! For the record, I hope Costa receives at least a 3 match ban!
