DOES that make the conduct of the Chelsea players forgivable?
JAMIE: No, of course not. We can understand emotion and anger, but it must be controlled. There is so much to admire about the player, but Didier Drogba’s behaviour? If he had taken his chances and not cried off injured instead of chasing the referee at the final whistle, Chelsea would have been two up. You can’t behave like that. It’s unacceptable. ANDY: I’ve chased a referee in a game before. You lose your rag at what you perceive is a bad decision. I’m not proud of it, but it can happen. Drogba’s reaction after the game – and when he had been substituted and was cooling down on the bench – is unforgivable. Chelsea must fine him even though he has apologised. That was behaviour unworthy of the Chelsea shirt and the competition.
