Only a month ago we talked about how Fernando Torres was reckless, unprofessional and irresponsible in his two footed challenge on Swansea's Mark Gower. On Sunday we witnessed the same type of tackle, but by a different player, Didier Drogba. Again totally reckless, unprofessional and completely irresponsible, this after Chelsea had been reduced to ten-men when Jose Bosingwa was red-carded for a six-of-one, half-dozen of the other, shirt tug-of-war with Shaunie.
A ridiculous red-card produced by the worst Premiership referee so far this season, Chris Foy.
Now I can take a Chelsea defeat on the chin anyday, seven-days a week, 365 days a year if I have to, what I can't take is a ref appearing apparantly on the pay-roll, to make sure QPR won the three points in any way, shape or form from a Chelsea team, rampant in goals and looking to take over second place in the Premier League, after the earlier hahaha result!!
Nine yellow cards, two straight reds I am would be surprised if Foy's backside hadn't suffered from blister burns from pulling out cards, on average every eight minutes.
It is a shame Foy and his assistant on the near side, during the first-half, decided to ignore the treatment dished out by Clint Hall on Danny Sturridge in the thirty-five minutes that Danny was on the pitch.
I counted at least four occasions where Hill kicked Danny up in the air and even Danny was seen to mouth 'How many more times, ref!!!' as he picked himself up from another clattering Hill challenge.
It is also a shame that Foy and his assistant on the far side, ignored THREE Chelsea penalty claims in the 2nd half.
The first coming when Super Frank was pulled to the ground by Fitz Hall and then on two other occasions, Heidar Helguson (auditioning for WWE) on David Luiz - grappling, groping and throwing Luiz to the ground.
I hope AvB has learned a couple of lessons in that Jose Bosingwa (has been said before) simply cannot defend and David Luiz is not a defender either, period!!
Luiz is reckless and doesn't think about what he is doing and the proof was evident when he bundled Helguson to the ground inside the first ten minutes.
On a positive note, a NINE man Chelsea team were simply superb in the 2nd half, taking Rangers to task and had Chelsea taken a point or all three from a pulsating and thrilling game, the sensational headlines would have surpassed those of the earlier hahahah result.
Chris Foy joins Mike Dean on the list of referees, never to officiate a Chelsea game ever again.
