Mourinho is a **** who needs someone to stand up to him. Torres was asking for a red card. He did clip Vertonghen's heels, and when Vertonghen went down after the contact, the ball had caught him at an odd angle. He did get hit in the face. By the ball. Did he stay on the floor too long? Who knows. Mourinho was overheard telling Torres, as he walked off, that he should've 'stayed down'...this moralizing PRICK talks about how 'terrible' it is that players 'get others sent off' but he has trained his teams to do it for years. So many players. And I'd love to look him in the eye and ask him how he justifies Marcello's behaviour in the CL QF. Regardless of Crouch's challenge, Marcello took to the air like a 747, rolled like a gymnast and then once he saw Crouch was off, winked and smiled. By the way, a member of Chelsea's staff leapt off the bench waving a card after one of our players (cannot remember who) fouled someone in the first-half. BTW, it was interesting to hear Dermott Gallagher speak about it. He said that while the second yellow might've looked harsh, when you look at Torres in the seconds before, he was jumping into a challenge he had no chance of winning and put himself in with aggression. Given the context of the game, he was unwise. He gave the ref a decision to make.
Mourinho is an absolute disgrace. Someone needs to take him on. AVB has more composure and class than I, because I'd have fired back.
