Chelsea Hit With £40,000 Fa Fine

[Bandicoot 3]

Chelsea have been fined £40,000 by the Football Association after accepting a charge of failing to control their players in a league match.

The charges against the Blues related to incidents at the end of their 2-0 win at Derby on 24 November.

Chelsea skipper John Terry led players who confronted referee Andre Marriner after Michael Essien was sent off for pushing Kenny Miller in the face.

Essien served a three-match suspension for the offence. Last year the Londoners were fined £30,000, severely censured and warned as to their future conduct after admitting a similar charge following the 2-0 defeat at Manchester United on 23 September

Why is it that we seem to be the only club ever convictied of this?

Ridiculous, you never see other clubs get fined for this but it happens to us on an almost weekly basis, the FA is so corrupt its a joke.

Get over it. 80% of our first team earn almost double than this every week. Its pocket money, but it annoys me nonetheless that it is only us who are hit by it.

Don't anyone actually think we have a bit of a discipline problem then?

Well it's rare that our players reactions are unjustified. I think we have a bad referee problem.

Course I remember it and I remember thinking what an arrogant bunch of tossers they were.

I'm not saying no-one else ever does it but its getting a bit too regular with us. Ok, we've had some shocking decisions and its hardly surprising players react but thats no excuse for doing it for every decision. I used to excuse it as player unity, fighting for each other, whatever, but Im not always so sure now. Its getting harder to complain about refs being anti-Chelsea when we keep giving them ammunition tbh.

Thats not to say the FA aint arseholes because that goes without saying.

actually we have been doing it a lost less these past few games, but i agree we've got a discipline problem. we shouldn't swarm around the ref like we do for every decision, we are deffo getting a rep now.

Is that because the usual suspects havent been playing?

That may be part of the reason, but maybe not all. Super huge decisions haven't went against us recently (appart from v. Villa) and add that the players could be learning that it doesnt do them much good complaining all the time. Grants rections on the sidelines arn't really that emotionally charged either, that could influence the players as well, i guess.

What cunts me off is Eboue did exactly the same thing a week later for the frenchies and not even a free kick was given, let alone a card. :censored:

Cunts of the highest order...
