Over Land and Sea

We wake up this morning to the news that referees are planning/talking about boycotting Chelsea matches in the aftermath of the Chelsea v Clutterbuck row following the Man Utd game last weekend. Also we have had SAF and the Whinger chipping in with their two bobs worth and Bobby Di in response saying “We do not talk about other clubs.” Classic! 

Reports suggest that ex-referee Clive Wilkes (WHO?) said, “I keep in touch with a lot of the lads and there is such a strength of feeling about what is happening to Mark.

“I know a few referees who are even talking about boycotting Chelsea games because of all this.

“It’s no exaggeration to say refs in this country have never felt lower. They are so disillusioned. They feel vulnerable, feel that they are getting no backing.

“They want to speak out themselves but are too frightened, they fear they will be sacked if they go public over their grievances. There have even been murmurings about strike action, but that is very much a last resort.”

Surely the problem lies with the authorities and NOT Chelsea Football Club. Chelsea Football Club, like the police are ‘dammed if they do, dammed if they don’t!!!!’

Captain, Leader, Legend JT serves the last of his four match ban today.

Mata and Luiz are doubtful after their League cup exploits in midweek, so Chelsea may be forced to play Ivanovic alongside Cahill in defence this afternoon.

Super Frank is still out.

Last season at The Liberty, the game ended 1-1.

Former Blue Scott Sinclair hooked Swansea into the lead with a volley and then deep into injury time, Bosingwa sent in a low cross shot and the ball deflected off Taylor into the net.
