To be fair Marcce does make a good point. If the officials have got any connections with Liverpool and aren't allowed to do Liverpool games, then it's pretty stupid of the premier league to let them officiate at a game involving their main title rival.
Regardless of whether they were biased or whether they had the most perfect game ever, it's stupid to put them in that position in the first place. Having said that though, i don't think there was any hint of them being biased and they actually did Chelsea a favour by not sending Ramires off. |

What you're suggesting is that there should be a cut-off after which Mike Dean and Jake Collin can't officiate games involving teams at the top of the table if Liverpool are in a challenging position.
That opens a whole can of ethical worms. |

An interesting conundrum and would have been much more valid if Jose had brought it up before the match rather than try to pin the defeat on the ref despite the one obvious wrong decision going massively in Chelsea's favour.

but surely the can of worms has been opened earlier?

hippie I'll invite you to go away and check out what libel means because you're making yourself look a div again.
Just to clarify a bit more for you the authorities withdrew Dean from the 2006 FA Cup final to avoid this "The fact he is from the Wirral might lead to comment and debate which could place him under undue additional pressure. The decision has been taken with the best interests of Mike Dean and the competition in mind." yet put him in charge of a game today that has led to comment and debate which is hardly in the best interests of Mike Dean or the competition. |

i wouldn't pay too much credence to the fact he's from the wirral. |

Maybe somebody could dig up a thread from when Brendan Rogers got into trouble for the 'Refs from Greater Manchester' quote - I'm sure TBB will have it in his bookmarks. If i remember he was ridiculed on here (by the usual mob) yet now a ref with the slightest connection to Liverpool can't ref any match that might have something (directly or indirectly) to do with Liverpool. I don't know how some can look themselves in the mirror of a morn.........

Mourinho is indeed classless in a footballing context...
..but I have been posting this for a while now....he is BORED and feels he is stagnating. An ego like his needs attention and stimulation from within and without and needs to keep moving forward to new horizons and fresh challenges.... ..all the nonsense he has been spouting from early in the new season up until today ..... ..an 11 year old could figure out his so called "mind games" and as far as tonights stuff goes we all know the famous quote "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit"!!! ... this has been him trying desperately to distract himself from his boredom and feeling of been here ...done that! |

Borinho is on the wane. He had his time at big clubs like Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
Now he is at a tin pot club and he knows it. Sacked by next summer (nap) |

Hippie a minute ago you were saying I'd implied something. Yet now it's clear in black and white. So which is it?
I think you'll be struggling to find it clearly in black and white to be honest. |

Roman must be wondering why he asked this odious, anti football eye poker to come back to Chelsea and bore every football fan in the country sh!tless, on and off the pitch...week in week out...as sure as night follows day...whilst winning fcuk all.
Roman must be self harming as we speak. |

so you are letting your prejudice come to the fore now. what relevance has the fact that chelsea are owned by a russian billionaire got to do with anything, bearing in mind that man u a nnd liverpool are owned by american billionaires, and city are owned by arab billionaires? the fact is there were questins aginst tod ays officials, and it's arguable that they may have had an inordinate effect on todays result. should these questions go unasked? |
|
By:
what questions are these?
bare in mind the linesman that gave the pen also gave the andy carroll goal against liverpool. bare in mind ramires wasn't sent off. |

...I doubt it smiley...not with the gorgeous Dasha around to console him...I expect the Chelsea result and playing style is very very quickly forgotten.  |
|
By:
Smiley bet you wish he'd bored everyone that day last month that 6 went into the Arsenal net.
You'll remember the game well I'm sure. It was the one where you were all over the Chelsea thread for a week before yet miraculously disappeared into thin air afterwards. |

By:
...no mexicano...they shouldn't go unasked....
...but maybe Mourinho should have the courage and fortitude to query them rather than enter into a rambling sarcastic diatribe and then storming off. |
|
By:
wtf has the carrol goal got to do with todays game?????????????
and ramires wasnt sent of because the ref was looking the other way. getting back to the topic that is under debate. loads of people have watched ut multiple times, in real time and in slow mo, and they cant make their mind up. but the ref gave it in an instant, without any of the help that all the "good ju8dges"had. tells me one of two things. either hw couldnt wait to give it, or his judgement is serioussly flawed. |
|
By:
Hopefully tomorrow Mike Riley will question Mourinho's judgment in loaning his best striker to a rival for a Champions League place.
|
|
By:
..or it was a penalty...as the slow motion suggests.

I doubt it will be anything other than a piecemeal, tribal debate - it seldom is.
5 pens scored plus 1 pen missed, 13 EPL goals today. I wonder what the ratio of pens; goals now is vs start of the EPL? Significantly higher, I suspect. The ref base location/club affiliation issue will always raise its ugly head occasionally - let's have swap for a season, we can have the Bundesliga refs and they can have ours... Unlikely there will be any original thought, just the same old arguments recycled ad nauseum. |
|
By:
...he hasn't raised any specific points though...just a general sarcastic diatribe against what he perceives to a general injustice bordering on persecution of him and his team....
..and has made himself out to be rather ignorant and rude in the process.... A very good manager but often does himself no favours and his antics are starting to become very dated and almost predictable....boring in a word..... ... no kudos in his actions at all I would suggest. |
|
By:
steview this linesman didn't give the Carroll goal. He flagged for the foul and was overruled by the referee.
|

By:
how many penalties are given when the ref isnt 100% SURE? FAR TOO MANY BECAUSE IF THE AINT THEY SHOULDNT GIVE THEM.
how many dubious penalties have been given this season aint got a clue, but if thetre's the slightest hint that they migght be dubious they shouldmt be given yet when chelsea get the first penalty given against them of the season, that looked a penalty in real time, you're calling it sinister. laughable. but it wasnt a pen. re the carrol goal i was posting on here that the officials had that so wrong it was untrue.and you can pull that fred up whenever you feel like it. |

ah! i see the mover might have regained his sense of humour.
i wonder if he's got enough of it to raise a fred to laugh at pellegrini. because he must be the only high profile manager he's left out. |
|
By:
football fans are great, penalty given against your team and its an outrage, penalty given for your team that was that bad a decision that the ref had to appologise to your opposition and not a word uttered, add to that eto trying to hack suarez down and nothing given.
These things happen to all teams nothing whatsoever to with the ref being biased more to do with the supporters bias. |

I only have a Mourinho one, and that originated in his Madrid days. Im just glad he's carried it over to Chelsea

actually scotty there is another element to it. Todays refs in the EPL must be the worst bunch I can recall, it's no surprise really that previously sane men like Mourinho can be turned into seething wrecks
