Mourinho's Attack On TV Pundits Souness And Carragher Is Wrong by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:43am On Mar 16, 2015 |
[b]After the game between PSG and Chelsea, two pundits did not like the attitudes of some Chelsea players after Zlatan Ibrahimovic got dismissed for his tackle on Oscar. Carragher disapproved the way Chelsea players surrounded the referee and urged him to dismiss Ibrahimovic. Souness described the behavior of some Chelsea players as 'pathetic'. Mourinho reacted angrily to the comments of the pundits during his Friday news conference. Mourinho accused the pair of having short-term memory and alleged he knew 'a lot' about Graeme Souness. Souness was the manager of Benfica before Mourinho took over the club. "Obviously I have a certain kind of education, not just in football, but in life," Mourinho said. "I prefer to laugh and to say that envy is the biggest tribute that the shadows do to the man." Mourinho added. This is an all time low by Mourinho. I do not think attacking pundits is the right way to go if a coach disapproves their comments. Graeme Souness and Jamie Carragher had wonderful careers as footballers to envy Mourinho. Mourinho is a great manager but he should not make a complaint about his players a personal attack on him. People have different opinions about different matters. Broadcasting companies pay these pundits to air their opinions. Their views might be or not be accepted by the players and managers. So, going against them will not achieve anything. Chelsea FC should focus on rounding up their league pursuit in style than focusing on what pundits say. Imagine if all managers start replying pundits. It would be ugly. I actually support players surrounding referees and trying to influence their decisions because FIFA and UEFA refused to let in video technology to improve the accuracy of officiating. Until FIFA brings in video technology, players will continue this. Other people disapprove of this. That does not make them right or wrong. What happens after this? Will Mourinho go against Journalists and bloggers? This erratic behaviour of Mourinho should stop, it is getting embarrassing to even those who do not support him or Chelsea. http://footymail..com/2015/03/mourinhos-attack-on-tv-pundits-souness.html[/b] 1 Like |

So Oga, what's your point now? That Carragher and Souness are right to criticise what they were also guilty of during their careers? Incase you too have short memory, the picture below is for you... 1 Like

timbros: How are these similar incidences? These guys were complaining about Chelsea players conning the referee to send off Ibrahimovic. How does a coach and player being upset with referees similar incident? Are you saying pundits have no right to criticise performances? 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: These are what Souness and Carragher said... www.eurosport.com/football/champions-league/2014-2015/chelsea-under-fire-graeme-souness-labels-blues-pathetic-as-jamie-carragher-blasts-mourinho_sto4635599/story.shtml WHAT SOUNESS SAID Did you notice from @bolded the main reason they were critical? Not because they were trying to con the ref but because surrounded the ref. For whichever reason, be it conning the ref, angry with the ref's decision, whatever the reason, the pundits is telling us that surrounding the ref is bad. Now come the above images. Did Souness and Carragher not surround the ref at some point in their career? Why should they be critical of something they have been guilty of? |

timbros: The question is why did they surround the referee. They surrounded the referee to get Ibrahimovic sent off. In the pictures you and Chelsea posted below, did they surround the referee to send off any player? No. Grame Souness case seems like a problem with an FC Porto player and him while the referee was trying to separate Is that surrounding the referee? Taking verbal shots on pundits is wrong. No matter how you try to defend it. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: The question is NOT why they surrounded the ref. The question is that they SURROUNDED the ref. Clearly, from their comments, they had issue with Chelsea players SURROUNDING the ref. Why is that hard for you to see? Abeg I no fit argue this hot afternoon. You are entitled to your opinions but, being a blogger, you have to stop misinforming your readers. That's very bad for your blog. For the last time, Souness and Carragher was critical of Chelsea, Not because they were conning the ref, But because they surrounded the ref. I WONT COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC AGAIN. Thank you. |

timbros: "The red card for Ibrahimovic summed it up. The way Chelsea players raced to put pressure on the ref. To a man, they surrounded the referee. Costa ran 50 yards to get involved.....Souness How you missed the first sentence says it all. The surrounding the referee was not the problem but the tricks to con the referee to send him off. So a picture of Souness having a problem with a Chelsea player is totally off. Please where did I misinform. Haba, taking verbal shots on pundits is bad. |

timbros: Mark Lawrenson "The reaction of the Chelsea players was amazing when you consider the tackle was not that bad. I thought he had had his leg broken in all honesty. It was Oscar up for an Oscar! Michael Owen “Never a red card. Once again, the reaction of the Chelsea players is shocking. That type of thing influences games... which is why they do it. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/zlatan-chelsea-players-disgraceful-reaction-5317715 |
