Blue Is The Colour...

However, they have a fairly strong and young squad.
It shouldn't really be a problem for them should it?
Let's hope injury prevails.
And Man Utd. And Arsenal.

Chelski have been guilty of this kind of thing before too. The tapping up of 2 young Leeds lads springs to mind, they had to pay us £2m compo in the end.
I'd say dock them points but then that would make it easy for the red scum to win the league so bollocks to that.

Not defending Eduardo, but it is very interesting that he is the only one mentioned and in some countries diving is art and quite appreciated and in almost all other (if not all) countries diving is quite present (including UK).Hom_Corleone wrote:...and the Eduardo diving incident, the fighting at the Derby-Forest game, and the race hate at Luton.

Oh yes, he comes from the country where diving is art. Unfortunately not the only one.Hom_Corleone wrote:We all remember this wonker....Back in time wrote:Not defending Eduardo, but it is very interesting that he is the only one mentioned and in some countries diving is art and quite appreciated and in almost all other (if not all) countries diving is quite present (including UK).

Ah this is all part of the general vendetta against Chelsea. We'll rise above it and still be triumphant (insert manic laugh here!). That includes Russian linesmen, Norwegian referees, Blatter, Platini et al. Nothing will happen to Madrid, Barcelona, Man U etc who've been doing the same for years. Hope all the Leeds fans don't get dizzy on the moral high ground!

As a football fan, it's a bit harsh on Chelsea to be singled out. Man Utd (to name but one) have been getting away with it for years. Surely a hefty fine would have been better and a new law coming into place as of er, now?
Unfortunately FIFA and UEFA have now set precedents concerning the above incidents and, regarding Eduardo, I can see the whole thing becoming a farce as Managers and clubs insist on replays to determine dives etc., which opens up another area - if video evidence can be used to discipline players after a game has finished (anyone remember Sky's continual replay of Beckford's elbow v Milwall which resulted in a ban?), then why not use it during a game for disputed goals? I'm sure Neil Warnock is with me.
As a Leeds fan, I'm pissing myself at Chelsea and reckon Ronaldo will lose 50% of his gameplan

The BBC Website wrote:Manchester United could be the next big club to be punished with a transfer ban if they are found guilty of an illegal approach to Le Harve youngster Paul Pogba. (Various)

Why not using video to see if the goal was scored properly, maybe to check if the free kick was OK, to check offside position, to check corner kick - this will go too far and can result in total turmoil.Norman Hunter wrote: if video evidence can be used to discipline players after a game has finished (anyone remember Sky's continual replay of Beckford's elbow v Milwall which resulted in a ban?), then why not use it during a game for disputed goals?
In my opinion there has to be a clear line (although I do not know how to decide where) or just leave the game as it is. We will all be nervous, blame the referees, blame the players, coaches, everybody and still enjoy the game.
Naturally, moves like one from DiCanio have nothing to do with football and should be punished severely.
I agree with you Norman, some serious precedents have been established, we will see more of this in the future and I hate administration entering the spirit of the game. I think that Eduardo was more influenced by the crowd obvious displeasure during the game with ManU.

Doesn't slow Rugby League down much as regards desputed tries. Union? Dunno - cant' watch the thing. The NFL uses it - but I guess that's a different ball game (no pun intended) when it comes to considering the amount of time taken compared to the pace of the gameBack in time wrote:Why not using video to see if the goal was scored properly, maybe to check if the free kick was OK, to check offside position, to check corner kick - this will go too far and can result in total turmoil.
The amount of ££££ involved these days - rightly or wrongly - means every decison counts and must be right. Human error seems to not a factor anymore.

So now we're not allowed to recall our own players? That's Chelsea players Mr Blatter! Players that play for us! I bet there's something else to follow...
