It's time somebody came out and said something about the bullsh*t decision's we keep getting against us. It's such a load of bollocks seeing refs constantly protected for all of their terrible decisions, no player or coach is allowed to speak out against them. I'm sick of hearing the excuse "they're only human", yeah, they're human beings who are sh*t at their job.

It's the only sport where the ref's are so consistently bad and different from one another.

There's a few other coaches who do almost the same thing as conte, even worse with the way they complain to officials but don't think they get charged much, if at all.

He never got sent off for this. This is just passion according to the ref.

 

And another thing, that is the same ref that sent Conte off yesterday...........

That one picture sums up the double standards in English football, it's blatant and embarrassing. Another fine for a Chelsea manager, on the same day Pep shouts and swears at a Southampton player, lies about it and the media say Redmond should ‘feel honoured’, this sh*t doesn't even surprise me anymore.

I didn't see the game the other day so can't comment on why Conte got sent off. Was it worthy of a misconduct charge ?

What I have seen this week though is Lukaku's sly lash out at the Brighton player which the FA have looked at and decided not to charge him, and Guardiola's extraordinary confrontation with Redmond on the pitch at the end of the game against Southampton. Is he being charged ?

I really don't buy into some of the conspiricy theories but sometimes I'm left shaking my head at some of the decisions being made.

 

In the days when grounds were more venomous, referees were told in no uncertain terms by the home crowd of they viewed their performance as substandard. We need to make the Bridge more of a fortress, refs are more scared of making poor decisions at places like OT  or Anfield.

A good rendition of 'who's the bar steward in the black' or 'Neil Swarsbrick is a w**ker ' for few minutes or a half used to help sway the f**kers.  

Its beyond any reason.......you wanna throw the book at Conte? Ok fine......but where is the same book when klopp is doing it? Or their new darling pep? How about the obvious lukaku assault? But of course we are once Again the receiver of their dong between our legs.....corrupt and bent as f**k, there cant be any other reason than that........otherwise the likes lukaku would have been punished and rightly so, but nahh.

Disgraceful inept pathetic biased inconsistent FA just like the bunch of PL refs that they govern. Lukaku kicks a player...nothing. Week in week out Whinging Wenger bad mouths every decision against the Goons and calls players divers and cheats...nothing.

The fact Wenger dodged a charge for his comments post match against City is baffling.

Klopp does the stuff Antonio did every other week and nothing gets done.

Pep's confrontation with Redmond was nothing short of bizare and seemed like verbal assault at the barest minimum but he's untouchable (perhaps most surprisingly of all considering the number of United fans in the FA / media).

 

Don't even mention Lukaku's kick - which again, had it been Costa doing it would have been an automatic 3 game ban at the least.

 

The FA are so blatantly not impartial it's actually shocking. We can see the gears moving the machine, but everyone seems oblivious.

Disgusting.

 

Well done Antonio for showing some class, apologising and admitting he made a mistake after the game though. Most managers (especially a particularly bitter one at a Manchester club) would have carried it on in to the post match interviews and shown no remorse. I don’t think anyone has actually mentioned this.

To be fair to Pep, Redmond has officially said that Pep simply praised him

I have seen managers done worse without being sent to the stand, thought it was a complete over reaction from the officials. I know I'm biased, but it's not like Conte was cursing the referee kicking the water bottles. It's big of him to own up the error, let's hope the FA has some common sense in dealing with this.

 

This is how a man handles things. I have so much admiration towards Antonio.

fortunately for us, UCL refs have been alright so far... let's hope they keep doing their job properly! Now for the PL, I won't make anymore comments on the refs as I have voiced my frustration with them countless of times... Honestly, we should focus all of our efforts on the UCL methinks. PL is over. And even if it's not, we all know the FA will help in any way to have mancs winning the PL! everyone outside of manchester have realized this too !

Well I have different opinion to this. Showing class will not stop the politics being played in EPL because these FA officials are classless. Do you know the amount of live Chelsea games compared to the Mansh*ties and Looserpool considering we are even the defending champions? That is politics. You may even call it corruption. They don’t care. Very classless set of people.

The way foreword is for Abramovich or his associates to buy up Sky or BT then slowly make former Chelsea players to dominate their Sport section. Also sponsour Chelsea supporters to be in the FA board. 

 

 

Sounds weired? But the truth!

Honestly, I’ve got back to regularly attending matches this season so I haven’t actually noticed!

I would say that former managers handling these sort of situations like knobs probably hasn’t helped the situation and maybe Conte showing a little bit more respect to the FA might help to build some bridges.

Seems a strange way to praise someone, by shouting in their face, but fair enough. 

I start to understand why Millwall used to sing, 'No one likes us'.

I suspect Mourinho noticed this and realised he could use it to develop that siege mentality that we benefited from.

I see in the press Conte is going to complain about CFC continually having less preparation time than their competitors after midweek matches.

I hope not, we have the 2nd most rest time overthe Christmas period and had the most last season at Christmas

Be typical of him to complain just in the month when it starts to work in out favour. 

That's Conte. He's always been that way. In fact i would say we have not seen his worst side yet in Chelsea. He was very controversial and divisive in Italy. Almost like Mourinho.
