UEFA Verdict on Bos and Drog....

[bjd]

Bos - 4 game ban, 1 suspended

Drog - 6 game ban, 2 suspended

Chelsea - 100k fine

Nothing been announced yet on what Overbo is going to get

My only surprise is Drogba hasnt got the death sentence.

Chelsea FC striker Didier Drogba has been suspended for six UEFA club competition matches – the last two of which are deferred for a probationary period of two years – following incidents at the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against FC Barcelona in London on 6 May. The decision was taken today by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body.

Bosingwa suspended

In addition, Chelsea defender José Bosingwa has been suspended for four UEFA club competition matches, the last of which is deferred for a probationary period of two years, for offences at the same match.

Principles of sportsmanship

Drogba and Bosingwa were facing charges of being in breach of the principles of sportsmanship by insulting the referee by making offensive comments. Drogba's suspension applies to the next four UEFA club competition matches for which the player would be eligible, while Bosingwa's suspension applies to the next three UEFA club competition matches for which the player would be eligible.

Chelsea fined

Chelsea FC have been fined €100,000 for the improper conduct of their players and the throwing of missiles by their supporters at the match against Barcelona, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Appeal deadline

Either the club or the players may appeal against the decision within three days of the dispatch of the reasoned decision.

..and Ballack?

Oh I forgot UEFA like him don't they!

[Lofty]

I was just about to post this after I turned the radio on to hear that utter c**t Adrian Durham preaching that "Chelsea get off lightly yet again". f**k him, f**k Uefa, f**k that idiot Norwegian ref, f**k Uefa again for appointing the useless prick and f**k Sky for engineering the whole situation by sticking a camera in Drogba's face and choosing to repeatedly show the incident.

Answer me one question. Just what is it that's so f**king holy about a TV camera?

Out of interest what did Valencia and Inter get punished for the on field 2 min brawl ?

Got off lightly? What the...?!

If he wants to talk about a club getting off lightly, how about Liverpool not getting any sort of punishment for that Michael Shields protest when the Liverpool players wore pro-Shields t-shirts during the warm up of a match. How's that not getting off lightly?

Six matches and four matches? And that's getting off lightly? Is he that stupid or is he just stirring sh*t?

Why am i not really suprised?

f**king corrupt, the lot of them. I've never know a player to get a 2 match ban for comments in the paper, ala Boswinga, while Ballack, Addidas golden boy and captain of Germany get off without even a written warning for his action on the pitch.

They won an appeal to get lighter charges.

The 100k for 'the throwing of missiles by their supporters' is a farce.

I cant remember anything thrown. Im sure someone chucked something but it was hardly like Besiktas in Schalke when our bench had to use umbrellas

[PloKoon13]

That means Drogba's out for the entire group stage?

Fan-f**king-tastic.

Why the hell did Bosingwa get done? He spoke only the truth. Stupid corrupt c**ts. They can all f**king burn in footballing hell with Norman Hunter and Roy Keane.

Roy Keane? Come on...

Anyways, what a bunch of bullsh*t. I hope Michael Platini [deleted some text]

[BLUENUT]

He's got something far worse, he's been diagnosed as French

[Gem]

Well there you go, at least we know now and can prepare.

It'll be up to Anelka in the group stages then, unless we miraculously sign Augero or someone else of genuine class. Otherwise it's Kalou.

[The Moos]

Fighting with fists = 6 game ban

Saying "F*cking disgrace" = 6 game ban (2 suspended)

Is it only me who see something wrong there?

And Ballack getting off completely just makes this look more like a joke. Bosingwa called the ref "a thief" in some interview that few seem to have read and he gets a 4 game ban (1 suspended) and Ballack - who chased the ref halfway down the pitch and screamed in his face - gets nothing, even though we all know they usually punish players who "attack" the ref. This should mean that whenever a player is angry about a call then he is fully entitled to chase the ref and scream at him. Is that a new rule?

Drogs said it in the first place this is a "f*cking disgrace".

6 and 4 games... I know it is not a very big punishment to give us fines but two marquee players not available for the important group stage and after that abysmal game that norwegian w*nker gave.

BTW did they ever investigate the tape for those CLEAR MISTAKES that referee made?? He shouldn't be able to judge any games on such high level anymore. Send him back to norway and to optician.

This decision seems so unfair. UN-F*CKING-FAIR!!

[PraetorianGuard]

Mod, seriously, you need to lighten the censorship on this forum a little. Hoping that someone worthless dies of cancer isn't a new invention. I did not threaten Platini, I only wished that he perished in the most cruel of ways.

Come on, we even censor the word "B*astard too. Political correctness much?

Just to be clear, i suppose the 'suspended' parts of the ban means they are only being held back in case of any any future misdemeanors ?

Meaning Drogs actually has a 4 game ban and Bos 3 ?

If we appeal i would expect there is a chance they could reduce even further too.

Its not the bans that are pissing me off its the fine, as i stated before. Its f**king ludicrous.

''UEFA ARE A DISGRACE - DROGBA IS RIGHT''

Would make a great banner for the first group game

[Ruh Buh Juh]

I don't get what it means with the 1 suspended stuff?

Expand on this a bit will you mate?

And I agree, an appeal will get the sentence even lighter.

[Ruh Buh Juh]

Which is why he was banned. Jesus, some people are dull.

[Maksimov]

It's not a new invention, but that doesn't mean it's very clever either because these things can so easily be misunderstood. Or are you saying you really meant it LITERALLY? The last thing we need after these news is the press writing about Chelsea fans wanting to see Platini dead.

Just use my avatar, does the trick.

I really didn't expect anything less from that corrupt bunch of c*nts at UEFA. I'd love Chelsea to tell them to poke their so-called Champions League up their arse and refuse to take part in next season's competition in protest. It'll clearly never happen though, too much cash involved. How the f*ck do UEFA get away with this???

I wonder if Chelsea made a stand against UEFA over this whether any other clubs would support us (not the G14 clubs, naturally, bunch of self-obsessed w*nkers) - it's a lovely thought, but will never happen of course. UEFA wield far too much power.

[Lofty]

Now they're comparing it with Cantona steaming into that Palace fan, and calling for a punishment to match Ok I must be really really thick, because for the life of me I can't see how attacking someone in the crowd compares with .. swearing at a TV camera. They're even bending the facts to make it appear as if Drogba swore at the referee - which Rooney does single f**king game but never mind about that. It's his nature. He can't help it. Take it away and you take a part of his game away. Bull-f**king-sh*t.

Something else that nobody has yet commented on is that Sky only chose to show Drogba's reaction. I can't help wondering what the question was that provoked this response

Hypocrisy? Not bleedin' arf.
