‘…The utter c**t of a ref made Cech leave the pitch. Cech was practically
unconscious, had taken a blow to the head hard enough to fracture his
skull and the ref insisted he left the pitch. Unbelievable. The ref
should be demoted to the Conference and Stephen Hunt should become
rhyming slang.’ [Chelsea Blog]
‘It’s definitely one of the tougher incidents to judge one way or
another. It would be harsh to punish Stephen Hunt given no one can say
for sure what his intent was, but it would be even worse to turn a
blind eye.’ [Caught Offside]
‘Severe injuries are not limited to just goalkeepers and although there
might seem to be a rash of head injuries occurring to the men between
the posts, I really wonder if this is historically any different than
what has occurred over the past 20, 40 or 60 years.’ [The Offside

‘[Jose Mourinho] has garnered some sympathy from fans who normally wouldn’t
be on his or Chelsea’s side it’s little wonder most people take
everything he says with a hefty pinch of salt. Is he just prone to exaggeration or a pathological liar?’ [Left Back]
