Showing an imaginary yellow card. What will the kids who support Chelski think? It's Ok....i thought we were trying to stamp out that foreign sh*te from our game?

Hey Don Corleone...you're right... the man's a punk. Maybe he should take a dive off the Brooklyn Bridge

This coming from the manager who reckons he doesn't ask his players to dive. The game is slowly being ruined by too much unsportsmanly conduct, from diving, to players trying to get others booked/sent off and now managers getting in on the act.
There should be a zero tolernace of it from the referees so that they can send out a message. When tackles from behind were treated with zero tolerance in a World Cup, you saw a sudden fall in the number of reckless tackles from behind soon after as players realised the consequences. Week in week out a player tries to con the referee with a dive, the referee waves play on, but never goes back to book the player.
Trying to influence the referee to book somebody, in my opinion, is no better. It all gets seen by the kids on TV or at games, and the only message it sends is, look kids even the successful players/managers are doing it, so it must be ok.

excellent question micky.
i think anyone doing this type of thing (players and managers alike) should be hit with charges of bring the game into disrepute and ungentlemanly conduct.
this is a forgein trait. not many english players are seen to be doing it.
now i'm a staunch liverpool fan and have very little time for everton (the rest of my family support them so you can imagine us all having a bevvie watching those games) but jose was really out of order. to make the remarks he made after the game even put out a worse message to young chelsea fans. i can understand a manager remarking on a really unjust case of diving but when you have to remark on it to take the heat out of having to answer hard questions about a really poor proformance is just wrong and a typical underhand method you would associate with jose.
he must have knew he was really in the wrong and i'm sure he was seething when he had to retract his remarks.
what would he have said if johnson had have clashed with haliareo. another keeper injured and johnson would have been labeled a thug by him.

For those of us who saw Drogba's cowardly display in the first 20 mins at Barcelona, recently, Boorinho's comments before that game and the Everton game, suggest that he is so deluded that he is exhibiting signs of mental disintigration. I fear for his sanity. Who will be the Chelsea manager this time next year?

He has a very high opinion of himself which is not shared by the majority of true (inclusive of Chelsea) football fans. His antics at Everton and tonight at Newcastle are designed, I feel, to keep the (his) controversy going..... Its to be hoped that one of these days the FA jump on him.
Its clear that this sort of antic is something we have imported. It should be made very clear to Mourinho that the game started here and we still try to play, its hoped, with some integrity. "Don't hold your breath".

The real question is how is Mourinho meant to control his players attitude when he can't even control himself.
I bet if Wenger pushed him like he did to Pardew, mourinho would fall over and hold his face.

jackieb:
Quit your bias. Chelsea moved the free kick forward and made it easier to score. Jose needs to stop acting like a ****.

That club are a law to themselves, they flout laws day after day, thought it was rich calling johnson a diver ( I think he is sometimes btw) when they have Drogba and Robben. They hijack players that are trnsferred else where and what happens? they don't get points docked they get fined.. which is like a spit in the ocean for them.
