Fernando 6,585 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 So are you actually saying that when Sanchez took a full swing at Ivanovic, which was an attempt to injure, the fact that he had no priors in this league was why it was thrown out? Are you saying that when Wenger left his technical area to assault another manager, the reason he got off is because he has no priors? What the hell are the rules for then!!??? If they only apply to those who've broken them??? That make little to no sense whatsoever. When you break the rules of the game you need to be punished, what kind of message does that send out to viewers? Well that's usually the way it is. Sadly but it's the truth.I remember Cahill diving last season but not a big fuss was made about it, because he normally doesn't do it.

So if I punch someone and break his nose, because its the first time I've done it I get off? Do you understand how stupid that makes you sound? There is a double standard that exists, if its Chelsea punish with impunity, if its an infraction against Chelsea brush it under the rug.Funnily enough nobody has seen any footage on how Diego Costa actually ended up on the floor when he chest bumped koscielny. All you see is Costa get up and Laurent flop to the ground... Nothing made of the incident that led to that. Johnnyeye and CMS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted September 23, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hey it's stupid but it's the truth.A player like Lampard could have gotten away with a reckless challenge because of his reputation.A player like Costa everyone would be calling for his head.It's wrong, but that's the way it is.I don't believe that for one second. Had Lampard done anything to warrant a ban, he'd be banned. What is happening here has nothing to do with reputation and everything to do with bias. Gabriel should've had his ban upheld and to the letter of the law Wenger should've been banned for leaving his technical area and pushing Jose... The reason nothing happened is because the FA are full of shit and are biased. These are the same people who accused Ashley Cole of lying when he said he never heard Terry use unsavoury language, the same people who played mind reader and declared Diego meant it when he walked on Can, the same people who upheld the suspension to Matic when he angrily pushed Ashley for nearly breaking his leg and decided not to suspend Ashley for a vicious tackle... I can go on and on and on. City rightfully should've had points deducted for illegally registering Lampard, instead they release a statement protecting what was initially stated by City Group, correcting the mistake that rightfully proved they were lying.When Chelsea win the title its a Herculian effort because the FA always make decisions against us despite setting precedence with previous incidents.

GodZola 630 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I want to bring up the Ashley Barnes tackle again last season. Yes, Barnes' tackle is outrageous and should have been sent off. But Matic under no circumstances should have reacted like that, and what Matic did was a red card offense and he instead got sent off (now you know how Le Arse fans felt on Saturday).But the difference between Wenger and Mourinho? Wenger admitted and accepted Gabriel was a red (when yeah, Arsenal still appealed so hypocrisy) while Mourinho defended Matic for what he did.FYI, Three, yes 3 former PL referees one of which was the former head of the refereeing body(same as Mike Riley now) all said the same thing about Matic's sending off & that was he should never of got a red, he pushed Barnes below the neckline so that is not classed as violent conduct, they went on to state because of the nature of the challenge they completely understood Matic's reaction, therefore a yellow card should of sufficed so with that in mind, why shouldn't Jose defend Matic? Who incidently had to deal with a near career ending injury & you believe Matic shouldn't of reacted - did you not see that was a career ending tackle, no? & just to remind everybody, the Fuck All (F.A) didn't ban Barnes cus Atkinson saw the offense.....apparently so no retrospective action taken, now I wonder if it was Costa that did a 'Barnes' I'm pretty sure they'd find a way to give him a sabbatical!As for Costa, unfortunately he has raised his hands & the Fuck All won't miss an opportunity to hit us in any way they can, my beef with them is like I stated last season on the Matic situation, is that they never show consistency, Sparky Hughes has already made his point about one of his players being hard done by the Fuck All, then stating Arsenal & Gabriel conveniently getting let off......???However they have made a rod for their own back because the amount of times players raise their hands in dead ball situations alone will bring about similar offences & I bet they do didley fucking squat unless its certain teams or more specifically certain players.Looking forward to yet more hypocrisy from the Fuck All & I bet our board are hoping for something similar to happen before they receive Costa's report.

robdog 2,084 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Wow we have a whole section of choir boys in our ranks. Do I condone what Costa did/does? no... But three games for that is excessive. When Wenger pushed Jose he got nothing, when Sanchez took a full swing at Ivanovic he got nothing... When Aguero actually stomped on Luiz he got nothing.... Costa puts his hands in Koscielny's face and get 3 games. Its bullshit.Pele would agree w/ you on this one"Listen, this to me was so common," a smiling Pele told AFP. "I suffered all my life with good marking. He's a very good player, everybody knows." "This was one moment. The striker who bit someone, Luis Suarez, was worse than this."

CMS 382 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Someone mentioned how it's mainly because of repetitive offenses, which is the case.See take a look at Carlo and Mourinho. Mourinho will get the book thrown because of he is, Carlo will not because how is.Likewise Lampard and Diego. Diego will get the book thrown at because of he is, and Lampard will not.So it's not BS, it has to do with their reputation. As long as we got players like Diego and manager like Mourinho we will continue to get that.Wasn't like that when we had Carlo.Why don't you proposed we hire Wenger and Olivier then, so we can be liked by the FA.

What I detest most are these fake fans, posting here like they are Chelsea fans, but have never had one good thing to say about the team. I mean damn! just post one good thing about Chelsea, its a big fucking deal. If you hate Chelsea that much, then take a one way ticket to Manchester or Everton.

Popular Post! lionsden 4,689 Posted September 24, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted September 24, 2015 Why don't you proposed we hire Wenger and Olivier then, so we can be liked by the FA. Arrant nonsense.This is not about being liked by the FA. It's a legitimate explanation for the issue that some deem "bias against Chelsea"/certain teams and players".It's the same in the real world, first time offenders of non extreme crime are shown way more leniency and sympathy than repeat offenders who have literally made the prison and the court their second home. we all know how this works in football and the real world but it just strikes me as some members trying to be argumentative for the sake of it.If you don't want to become a target, stop giving the authorities a reason to target you in the first place. If Costa wasn't a hot headed, emotionally immature thug, whose main agenda whenever he steps onto the pitch, especially in big games, is about creating drama rather than actually focus on playing football, we wouldn't be having this conversation.The FA and rational/non bias posters aren't who you should be directing your anger/frustrations and criticism at but rather the repeat offenders at the football club i.e Costa and Mourinho who consistently refuse to see the errors of their ways nor strive to change for the sake of the club's image/reputation (at the very least) and that of the team. zolayes, Korial, Mana and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
