Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has
been charged with misconduct by the
Football Association for remarks he
made about match officials following
his side's 3-1 home loss to
Southampton on Saturday. The FA alleges his comments "imply
bias on the part of a match official". Mourinho felt referee Robert Madley
denied Chelsea a penalty on Saturday,
adding officials were "afraid" to award
his side spot-kicks. The 52-year-old has until 18:00 BST
on 8 October to respond to the charge. Speaking after the Southampton
game, which was the champions'
fourth defeat in eight games and
leaves them 10 points behind leaders
Manchester City and four points off the
relegation zone, Mourinho said: "He [Madley] was afraid to give it [a
penalty] like everyone else is afraid to
give it. "Why? Because there is always a
question mark from you [the media]
and always a critic so we are always
punished. "The penalty in this game is more than
crucial because my team, at the
moment, the first negative thing that
happens... they collapse. "After that the team lost even more
confidence. Mentally, psychologically,
the team is unbelievably down. "If the Football Association wants to
punish me they can. They don't punish
other managers."
This man cant just shut his mouth for once and accept defeat?
