Chelsea- blatant cheating which Ref ignored

Mon Apr 01, 2019 3:11 am

Twice Morrison was held in the box and were clear penalties, and the foul on Zahore outside the box,not only a blatant red card,but was blatantly ignored by the officials, this game has not held the Premier league in a good light. The officials need to be ashamed of themselves and they should be disciplined. VAR should be made compulsory at all games. Cardiff should make an official complaint to the premier league, Chelsea are cheats !

The worse decision was the offside goal. I agree about the holding in the box, but that has become the norm in recent years, and every team including us do it when corner kicks and free kicks are taken. Maybe VAR will stop all this holding on in the box. I think if VAR was in place yesterday, we would have come away with at least a point. Be ironic if we end up going down by one point or on goal difference.

Agreed.

Nobody minds losing to better teams fair and square. Man City and Man Utd both hammered us at home, no complaints.

But that just wasn't right yesterday.

Chelsea hardly tested Etheridge until the "equaliser", then should have had a player sent-off. Even if the first mistake happens, if the player was sent off as he should have been for the rugby tackle on Zohore then Chelsea would have shut up shop and held on for a draw which would have suited us too.

The errors were clear and there can be no explanation other than bias against smaller teams.

Don't even start me on the penalty shouts !!!!!

How is it possible to get four major decisions wrong in one game and all four of them in favour of the so called big club!? Something wrong there.
