Terry faces a ban for grabbing ref's card
-
England captain John Terry is facing censure from the FA after attempting to snatch the red card from referee Mike Dean's hand during Chelsea's stormy encounter with Manchester United on Sunday.
Dean, who surprised even United boss Sir Alex Ferguson by sending off John Obi Mikel for a challenge that was a yellow card at best, has included the actions of Terry — as well as a number of other Chelsea players and staff — in the report he has sent to Soho Square.
At least four Chelsea players crowded around Dean when he decided to dismiss Mikel for a two-footed tackle and the club will almost certainly be charged with failing to control their players.
Chelsea assistant manager Steve Clarke is also likely to be included in the report after confronting Dean in the tunnel at half time, while Chelsea officials may also be drawn into the controversy after joining Clarke in expressing their displeasure.
Chelsea have appealed against Mikel's red card but will almost certainly fail because FIFA will not allow the FA to downgrade the card to a yellow. Only if the foul on Patrice Evra was not even deemed worthy of a booking could Chelsea possibly succeed.
It leaves Terry and the FA in an embarrassing situation, particularly after the controversy that erupted in the wake of last season's encounter at Tottenham, when the Chelsea skipper clashed with referee Graham Poll.
If found guilty, the FA will again have to take a hard line against the captain of the national team.
Dean has withdrawn from his Carling Cup duties — where he was due to take charge of Tuesday's match between West Bromwich and Cardiff — with an injury collected at Old Trafford. It is his decision to pull out. -
:S Tamper Tantrum

its true.
terry's reaction was a bit too much. -
seems like terry having developed a im a big shot attitude these days...cpt of england, cpt of cheslea..highest paid player..its spoiling his game now
-
his ego is getting the better of him.
-
Time for Terry to get the ban and let him realize his mistakes.
-
Ban him. I detest players with over-inflated egos.
-
Well, I can't blame the Chelsea players for their reactions because that red card is too harsh, even if I don't like Mikel. But Terry is still too much... as Inzaghi said, he's acting like a big shot.

u reap what you sow terry, being a captain of chelsea and england, you should have at least kept your cool.. argument is unstandable, but pulling or even a touching a refereee during this situation is a big no-no becuz it can aggrevate and make things difficult for the referee

Where else have we seen a player grabbing the referee's hand, holding on to his card when he was about to flash it... Only Terry does this, he thinks he is quite a big shot now that he is England's captain... I have mentioned this before and some here came out with the reason that he was only defending his team... But i belief he has gone over-board a number of times already since he became England's captain. His punishment last season was so minimun that he probably thought that he could now get away with anything cos he is England's captain...
I guess he felt that he was big enough in status to had a go at mourinho too when he questioned his recent form... Anyway, i never felt Terry was a top defender when it comes to defending... only a decent one that can score once in a while and was always lucky to have players like Gallas, Carvalho and Rio to cover his short-comings... But now while Carvalho is out, he only have Ben Haim and Alex who have expose his defending short-comings...
I think its wasn't much of a surprise that jose questioned his form... I think Terry played a major part in Chelsea's recent bad run even while Jose was still there... Lost to Villa, Draw at home to Blackburn and even worse Rosenberg... It was Terry's poor man marking that led to Rosenberg's goal and Tevez's too. -
Mike Dean should also be called in for his poor performance.
Apologies from Hackett anyone? Or dropped for the time being?? -

Terry adopts the same stance he has since Mourinho came to Chelsea, they put themselves on the line for their team and their players.

the only season when he was fantastic was the one when he score close to 10goals for chelsea in the championship winning season?
i rate vidic as tops currently -
Terry's contribution to the team goes beyond scoring goals. He is first and foremost a defender. He is certainly a good captain too. But it does seem he is not having as good a season this time round.Originally posted by F.raon.I.R:the only season when he was fantastic was the one when he score close to 10goals for chelsea in the championship winning season?
