Mour antics turns fans off Blues
-
NEWCASTLE legend Chris Waddle reckons Jose Mourinho is increasing the ill-feeling towards Chelsea with his ‘ridiculous’ antics. The Blues boss was up to his old tricks at St James’ Park on Wednesday by waving an imaginary yellow card after a foul by the Toon’s Nicky Butt. And SunSport columnist Waddle believes action must be taken against the Portuguese manager unless he starts to behave. Waddle said: “He seems to think he’s above the law now — and it’s time something was done about it.
“He’s making himself look ridiculous by doing that and it certainly rubs people up the wrong way. “There’s a lot of ill-feeling towards Chelsea but he is turning more and more people against them.
"Maybe, because he didn’t play football at the top level himself, he wants to be the centre of attention. Either that or he doesn’t understand the rules. “If he were a player he would be booked for doing something like that.
“You saw him running down the touchline when they scored at Everton. But if other managers or players did something like that he would be the first to criticise. “The bloke is becoming a law unto himself and it’s time something was done about it.”
Former top referee Jeff Winter believes Mourinho should have been warned or even sent to the stands during WednesdayÂ’s Carling Cup quarter-final, which Chelsea won 1-0 with a goal from striker Didier Drogba.
Players who wave imaginary cards are generally booked and Winter reckons the same should apply to managers. He said: “We were always told that if a player waves an imaginary yellow card then he should be booked. “So there’s no reason why a manager should not be given a warning or even sent to the stands if he does it.
“At the very least the fourth official should be having a word with him to stop him from doing it. “But the problem is that officials these days seem to be scared of Chelsea.” -
i dont see anything wrong.its common to see a manage reacting to goals from his squad.sooooo?whats your point?

Is it common? I didn't know that... The last manager that celebrated like that and only once, now has a case pending against him by the FA and no longer has a job... Anyway its Chris Waddle's, Sky Sports pundit Ray Wilkins and chief executive of the League Managers Association John Barnwell's point... not mine...

I honestly belief that mour's overall antics do in some way hurt chelsea's image and turns fans off otherwise you wouldn't hear respectable pundits like Chris Waddle's, Sky's Ray Wilkins and League Managers chief John Barnwell coming out to say such things... and this is just in England... If you go out to Europe... Uefa also got quite a number who probably thinks so too... so don't everything bias lah gp...
Hey gp, anyway... welcome. Tho you choose to come in as and when you like, nevertheless, you are still welcome. There is no such thing as a forum without you... unlike what one guy have said. -
that time pardew celebrated, wenger also reacted....manager has as much rights their as their players to celebrate a goal

Yeah and he got fine $10,000 pounds...

MOURINHO A 'GOOD MAN' - MOYES
Everton manager David Moyes has revealed he expected Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho to apologise for claiming Andrew Johnson was a diver because "good men" admit their mistakes.
Moyes will hope England squad striker Johnson can now recapture his form at Reading on Saturday - he has gone 11 games without a goal - now the uproar over Mourinho's remarks has died down.
The Chelsea boss issued an apology to Johnson and Everton over his slur, prompted by an incident with goalkeeper Hilario in Chelsea's 3-2 win last weekend at Goodison Park. Everton threatened legal action against Mourinho before he decided on his climb-down.
"Frankly, I expected the apology. I think he knew he had called it wrong at the end of the match and good men change their decisions," said Moyes, who underlined the managers' code which discourages criticism of opposing players.
Moyes said: "I don't think managers slag off players from other teams - it is very rare - and when it is done it is frowned upon.
