Nemanja Matic

FA will be under pressure to make 'the right' decision, no? If they rejected it, all the pundits will slam them.

FA will be under pressure to make 'the right' decision, no? If they rejected it, all the pundits will slam them.

Highly doubt it, highly doubt we'll appeal it, because it hasn't been mentioned anywhere.

Sadness. Did Vertonghen really do the same today?

[Rekin 835]

It was the type of a game that just turns you off from football. Such incompetence from the referee, I can still not believe it.

I feel so bad for Matic. He is a large defensive midfielder and would stereotypically be thought of as a rough hothead, but he seems like such a calm and well mannered guy. Add his passing and technique and you have a very unique and extremely talented player that deserves more protection from the officials.

I prefer that he got sent off rather than having a broken bone. I like him more for what he did, this is a game of passions, and thugs like Barnes need to be brought into the spotlight. He will be extremely missed, and it pisses me off that he as the victim will get the worst punishment.

I so hate when it isnt the game on the pitch deciding results, but completely incompetent officials who protect each other and are above questioning.

Fuck Barnes, Fuck Atkinson and Fuck the FA.

I don't see any reason to publish that article, except we're going to look for a justice.

4th article done by the club on the Matic red card (plus 3 other incidents) since last night. Persistent.

If FA and media make a campaign against us, let's make a campaign against FA. I am loving that from Chelseafc.com

And another one http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/02/mourinho-attacks--end-of-career--tackle.html?WT.mc_id=social_20150222_40913246&adbid=569506332962746369&adbpl=tw&adbpr=22910295

[The Chels 2,502]

This season we've only lost 1 out of 37(!) games when Matic was playing. Without him we've lost 2 out of 3. It goes to show how important (and great) Matic is but over-reliance tends to spell danger and it could really hurt us in these upcoming games.

Plenty of journalists and pundits have supported Nemanja Matic’s

It certainly feels like a response to the nonstop Diego Costa articles bulshit after the Liverpool game. How about that rest of the world?

[Pacquiao 1,834]

I just cant get my head around it to be honest i have been watching football for nearly 20 years, since when has pushing someone become a red card offense??? you see it all the time in football, players square up and push each other, we saw it today in the Spuds match also, players never get red cards just for pushing someone, what am i missing from this? surely the red card will get recinded.

[Styles 9,790]

Anybody else think there's a chance his red may be rescinded? The club is making a real push. I've ever seen them upload so many articles on the official site before!

Any chance for appeal?

[iseah100 5,612]

Why are we not appealing this?

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

We can't appeal because no matter what happens before in theory it is a sending off, you can't do that to an other player. Best we can hope for is for that dude to get banned as well, but why do we care about that...

[zolayes 14,489]

we can appeal ,, then they have to back the ref or admit it was wrong.. PUT THE CUNT on trial

[iseah100 5,612]

So is Barnes at least gonna get a retrospective ban like Costa did? Or nah? Fucking bullshit.

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Same Same... Nothing.
