Terrace Talk: Chelsea - Groundhog Day for Blues after rough justice

The FA couldn’t wait to wield their sword of retrospective “justice” could they? Bet they keep it unsheathed every time Chelsea take to the field – just in case like.

But the FA really out-did themselves this time, using Brazilian TV coverage to “prove” that Gabriel didn’t touch Costa, never mind the countless other clips from nearer home that showed he did. As for the rest of their adjudications from this same incident – try unravelling some logic and sense out of them. Myopic, reactionary and out of touch doesn’t even begin to cover it and let’s not even discuss consistency.

What makes all this even more infuriating is that had Mourinho faced the cameras after the match and criticised the referee – as Wenger did, he’d have been slapped with an FA charge so fast, it would have made your head spin.
