[Football] Chelsea charged by FA

TomandJerry · May 10, 2018

"Chelsea have been charged by the Football Association after players surrounded referee Lee Mason at half-time during their 1-1 draw with Huddersfield on Wednesday.

The club are charged with failing to ensure their players "conducted themselves in an orderly fashion".

Players were unhappy when Mason blew the whistle for half-time before they could take a corner.

Chelsea have until 18:00 BST on 15 May to respond to the charge."

You have to understand how provocative it is to have your entitlement undermined

Good to see a ref call time when it is due rather than the normal wait until an attack has finished. Perhaps we should adopt the rugby idea that once the time is up the game is finished when the ball next goes out of play.

I've thought about that. Would be quite a nail biter sometimes, think it could work

Charged? They should be congratulated. After all, it takes a minimum of 11 people to surround Lee Mason these days...

Imagine your team not qualifying to play in the Champions League. I can’t imagine anything worse for a football club to go through. I can empathise with the players, I’d be in bits if we finished 5th.

Losing side try to keep the ball in play but the winning side look to kick it out as soon as they get the chance ie a shot that the keeper saves so a big boot to row z.

Agree with you......would love to see the team winning immediately hoof it into row Z when the clock went red [emoji23][emoji23]

I thought this thread was something to do with their new money back scheme on return of plastic fans!

I think we should also have a basketball clock, if they dont shoot after 30 seconds the other team gets the ball, make it 3 minutes for football.
It will also stop when the ball goes out of play, injuries and could also be stopped for blatent timewasting (player strolling off the pitch.
When the clock shows 45 and 90 thats yer lot.
(joking about the shot clock but the rest could work and save a lot of hassle)

Good ol' Clive Thomas!

And the Brazilians' reaction? The good ol' days.

It will also stop when the balletween the ref and the big clock at grounds that at 90 mins he sets the ex goes out of play, injuries and could also be stopped for blatent timewasting (player strolling off the pitch.

The drawback with your idea, as has been said many times, if we stopped the clock for everything so you had 90 mins of Football the game would last about 2 -2.5 hours thus increasing the journey home time etc. I think a better idea is a link between the ref and the big clock in the ground where on 90 mins he sets the added time and a buzzer goes off at the end of that designated time and he blows time when the ball goes out of play.

I dont think it would last that long would it?
The ref and 4th official adds on time for injuries and time wasting anyway, its just that they dont always seem to get it right and strolling off the pitch from as far away from the dug out as possible is almost cheating as is subbing in the last minute someone stopping the clock would get rid of any arguements, the ball does not spend much time out of play either.
Blowing the whistle when the ball goes out of play could lead to a very important winning goal, that could relegate a team when in fact time was up.

Whilst having absolutely no time ever for Chelski, I can see their point given the amount of time wasted by Hudds !

Spot on. The ref had the balls to blow on time up, not waiting for pedestrian Chelsea to get their preplanned corner routine set up. Arrogant players.

Imagine the time wasting that would go on. Just wait until the ref books you before taking a throw-in, and when he's decided to book you just walk off and let someone else take it, and they can do the same thing. You could waste the last 5 minutes of a match doing that.

Just because it works in rugby, doesn't mean it would work for football.

Irrelevant.

If he felt Huddersfield were time-wasting, he'd have added more on.

The ref should blow when it's time up - and did.
