Costa stamps

[iwasthere2012]

Absolutely true Hazy.
Costa has got away with murder this season. He has been given a pass by the press that was never afforded to Mario. And yet I swear Mario was a saint compared to this vile dirty sneaky bastard. It seems if the media are on your side, anything goes.

Well they're onto him now. he misses three and when he's back I'd hazard a guess that referees won't be as hesitant to book him or send him off.
It'll be interesting to see how he is treated until the end of the season.

guardian actually has two articles out now on mourinho (and costa's) antics:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/blo ... -liverpool - Campaign against Chelsea? More like a José Mourinho campaign against everyone

http://www.theguardian.com/football/blo ... iego-costa - José Mourinho ramps up Chelsea’s siege mentality amid Diego Costa row

[blues2win]

Chelsea cancel tomorrow's pre match Press Conference. Sulking because of the Costa decision. Trying to build a siege mentality as a motivator for Saturday; ie everyone's against us.

SSN .....

Costa to CONTEST violent conduct charge !

[twosips]

All this does is draw attention to Costa and makes it all a bigger deal meaning he's more likely to be pulled up on it again. He's a bloody idiot

[Original Dub]

This is an odd one. In this case it makes no sense whatsoever to contest.
Unless Chelsea know something we don't know.

Very strange indeed...

[City64]

Press Association have just announced this news via SSN .....

Diego Costa to contest FA charge of violent conduct with full support of Chelsea FC .




WTF ?

[blues2win]

I hope he gets an extra match ban for a frivolous appeal. Oliver already looked at the video and concluded it was not accidental. All Costa can say is it was. It wasn't.

[Goaters 103]

There are zero grounds for appeal. None. Zero.

An extra game should be added for a frivolous appeal based on Chelsea thinking its not fair their snidey centre forward got caught.

Real strange one this , Oliver agreed stamp was straight red so why are they contesting knowing if they lose he will miss the cup final ?

The 2nd stamp was arguably more blatant as he looked down to make sure he didn't miss! Maybe because he didn't seem to look down on the first one he will argue it was a pure accident. Had both been put forward as dangerous play he wouldn't have bothered appealing

[Hazy2]

Simple this, Jose has to have a fight, Pellers will not take his bait, so the horrible fucker that Jose is starts his We are hated bollocks, Roman will see him off sooner than last time me thinks.

[Ted Hughes]

Probably a sulk job from Mourinho & instructed the appeal in the middle of a tirade. As I've said before on here, I don't believe that this version of Mourinho is cool & calculating. I think he changed when he was working in Italy & Spain & is now just a nasty, miserable, mental case who just pretends to be the old 'charming' Mourinho.

If we stick with Chelsea in the race, he will self combust by the end of the season.

'Siege mentality', also known as being a mard-arse.

City
Villa
Everton
Burnley
Spurs - Cup final

I hope they give him a 2 game extra ban!

[iwasthere2012]

Was to be expected. Snidey cowardly stamps and I'm a Chelsea fan. I always think how would I feel if that was an opposition player did it to one of ours. I love him as a forward but i cannot defend that.

What's the overall opinion of Chelsea supporters on how this has developed, particularly with the appeal going in. It wouldn't be fair to compare him with Ballotelli when he was with us, who got a lot of support from City fans even when he'd do something stupid. For a start Costa scores a lot more. He'll be a big loss to you.

It will be quite interesting to know what the massive intellect known as 'romans_bridge' makes of all this........on the other hand, it's virtually guaranteed it won't be interesting at all.

No I'm waiting for 'me ould mate Roman' to come back after Saturday's match, should we beat them. This was specifically geared towards Lamps, who seems quite level-headed.

Apologies for the insult.
