Santiago 15 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Villas-Boas charged with improper conduct by FA after criticising referee Foy Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has been charged with improper conduct following comments about referee Chris Foy after his team's 1-0 defeat at QPR last month.The Blues boss admitted he was 'very aggressive' with Foy after accosting him post-match at Loftus Road, and accused the official who sent off two of his players of failing to treat the teams equally. A statement from the Football Association confirmed: 'Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has been charged with improper conduct by the FA, following media comments he made about the match official after his side's match at Queens Park Rangers on 23 October 2011.'Villas-Boas has until 4pm on 15 November 2011 to respond to the charge.'The 34-year-old is in his first season at the Stamford Bridge helm after replacing Carlo Ancelotti over the summer.The former Porto boss has been less than impressed by some decisions against his team, even going so far as calling referees' chief Mike Riley to complain about the performance of the officials in Chelsea's Barclays Premier League defeat at Manchester United. He was also critical of decisions in their draw at Stoke. Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz1dOlgNecH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 It's a good thing I'm not a manager because otherwise I'd be executed for the type of comments I'd make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I think we all saw this one coming. But it doesn't matter, what's important is that he made his point to the reporters and the FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 So, I guess this means Foy got off the hook? What a joke. But then Riley is the chief of referees, so it all makes sense I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
