Well, to be fair, they do have quite a few referees in their team, don't they, Chelsea?
They're not alone, but they're one of the worst.
Enzo Fernandes, Caiceda, Cucurella, the list goes on.
They try to referee the game all the time.
So, and as the boys said, I mean, I can't say much more.
I'm kicking lumps out of people and I'm launching the ball out of play until that referee's whistle goes.
And that was the game 10 years ago, that was the game 20 years ago, that was the game 30 years ago.
Never ever in the history of the game has there been a time
more important to play to the whistle than now because these incidents that happen around a penalty area that could have a consequence of a goal are usually let go to run in case a goal is scored and then it can be rechecked rather than the other way around, rather than stop it and then go, oh, there was nothing wrong with that, I wish they hadn't stopped it.
particularly when you're around the penalty area, that unless it is absolutely cast iron, and that wasn't, the referee and the assistants are going to let moves go just in case a goal is scored, and then they can recheck it.
That's the way the game is refereed these days, and somebody needs to tell some of these Chelsea players if indeed they stopped because they heard the whistle or they thought it was going to be a free kick, which I think is a load of tosha anyway.
I'm going to tell you why they're losing all these late goals.
