"Investigation ... Chelsea coach Andre Villas-Boas has courted controversy with post-match comments directed at referee Chris Foy (Getty)
England's Football Association is looking into comments made by Andre Villas-Boas about referee Chris Foy's performance in Chelsea's 1-0 defeat against QPR."
QPR shocks nine-man Chelsea'Aggressive' Villas-Boas unrepentant:
"The Chelsea boss launched a verbal attack on Foy yesterday after seeing his side end the match at Loftus Road with nine men following the dismissals of Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba.
Villas-Boas was unhappy with the sending-off of Bosingwa, who was deemed to be the last man when pulling down Shaun Wright-Phillips despite John Terry claiming he had the Portuguese full-back covered.
The 34-year-old manager admitted he was "very aggressive'' with Foy after accosting him following the west London derby defeat and claimed that the official failed to treat both sides equally, adding: "he (Foy) lost it.. he was card happy towards the (Chelsea) team."
It is understood that the FA is aware of the former Porto manager's comments and will decide whether or not to charge him with improper conduct by Wednesday afternoon (northern).
Should he be charged and found guilty, Villas-Boas could be fined or even suspended.
Villas-Boas, who took over from Carlo Ancelotti as Chelsea manager this northern summer, has complained about the performance of officials in the club's games against Stoke and Manchester United, and said yesterday that he felt his team was not being treated fairly by referees."

The referee had his own agenda, he severely punish chelsea for mild faults and he had a different criteria when penalizing QRP or QPR what ever, Foy had probably a reward waiting for him. QPR would have never won that match without Foy on their side.

You know, I really prefer Mourinho to this chap, this guy can't stop complaining. Note to AVB, complaining ain't going to change the score, move on

Complaining about poor refs does change things - mr Alex has been doing it very successfully for nearly 25 years now! If you actually watched the games you would agree that Chelsea have had some terrible decisions so far this season, most notably the 2 offside goals at old trafford when we played utd off the park for the last hour but came away with nothing!

Worst refereeing I have witnessed in the premier league. Someone needs to call him out. He should be reviewed as a referee.

I am sure he has already forgotten about his Porto side receiving favours from referees all last season.

His comments were pretty accurate and he did support Foys decision to send off Drogba... Hopefully the FA looks into the consistency of the refs...

Sounds like a mob. It's okay if it just a mob, there's always a solution for that but what if 'mafia mob' now that's telling. Abramovich oil tycoon from Russia, a football anorak much like some of us here, minus those monetary background of course. Supposedly to take over West Ham, opted for Stamford Bridge instead. Simply he loves football and will do anything to win, so far he's invested around STR800,000,000.00 in transfer market alone, such amount of money could buy a nation in some. Now imagine publicity, such scale he can muster, as easy as flick of a finger and all these machinery are used against not only Football Association also on our club. Simply to say, we are deadmeat! QPR is f***ed! There will be fracas along street of London with demands of FA being put into guillotine. Well if not almost.
Fortunately, we're in English soil and here power broking is thin as ice like edge of Antartica during summer. AVB should be charged. |  |
