    Essien = Dirty Cheat

    Don't know if anyone saw his horror tackle on Saturday, but it warranted a straight red, no question. That covers the dirty part.

    Then, when Gardner handled the ball for his red card, Essien kept following the ref around gesturing for a red card. Quite unsportsmanlike, and quite sad really for a player of such ability.

    Pr!ck !

    Yep his tackle on Tal Ben Haim was absolutey shocking, caught him near the knee, he went down himself pretending to be injured so he would'nt get a red card, horrible to see.

    He's definitely in trouble, seeing as the referee said he'll review the video on Tuesday before submitting his report.

    Disgraceful tackle yet Jose didn't see it but managed to see the hand ball incident. As regards Essien following the ref around trying to get Gardiner sent off he's just doing what a hell of a lot of players do nowadays.

    Was funny listening to Beglin talk about Bolton player feigning injury when was clear on first view Essien had gone over the top. Beglin changed his tune fairly quickly with replay.

    I wish they would start sending off losers like Essien who go in cynically like that. That bolton fella could have had his career ended.

    The refs in england always favour the best teams and call all their players by their first names when on the pitch. how gay is that ?

    As well as that. signalling to the ref to give a player a card after a challenge should be an instant yellow, regardless of what the plyer did and whether he actually gets a card.

    Not as gay as if they started kissing them before the game.

    Didn't see anything much wrong in that. The Bolton player cheated to stop him scoring so doesn't deserve any sportmanship. It's a different case than looking for a player to be sent off after a foul IMO.

    Jeff Winter on sky confirmed there is a directive now to book a guy for that card waving action, so Mikey boy should have walked twice. It's been goin on for years that the big club get all the breaks, ask Manu Mike Riley about the 9 spotters or more at ot.

    On this topic, I noted yesterday that Joey Barton and Claudio Reyna on different occassions got up after being fouled and told the ref put his cards away, hence saving two certain bookings - Pearce seems to be running a tight ship discipline wise - it's good to see. He doesn't question decisions either. Maybe he'll change, but I'd venture his mentality won't allow him, but it's good to see a bit of honesty.

    The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.

    You're missing his point. He was talking about how players surround the referee and 'give him advice'. If it were my way, I would card the lot of them. Man Utd have had a history of doing that as well as most big clubs.

    How much this Essien Cost

    20 million plus and from what he has shown so far hes just a big, hulking, hacking donkey. Chelsea ,in fairness, are getting pretty shafted in the transfer market (not that my heart bleeds or anything)

    Complete tosh to be honest, one awful tackle should not be enough to base your opinion on. The guy has an incredible engine on him, touch is first class and it's only a matter of time before he starts scoring on a reg basis I'd venture. Not bad for a guy who has only played in the Prem for a few months.

    How come he's held down a starting place every week in a team that are 9 for 9? And I've no alliegance to Chelski at all. Now SWP was not value for money if you would go down that avenue. But I don't think anyone who has watched Essien in detail could be anything but impressed.

    Saw that, Etherington could well have walked, very commendable.

    Its a disgrace that he's after getting away with that challenge. Is it because the ref had taken some action already that he isn't being further punished or did I hear FIFA are sticking their oar in for some reason? Whatever the reason it is scandalous that he has escaped, and any player that goes to 'do' an opponent should IMO serve at least 5 games.

    There's a few cheats among that chelski team and in time some referee might wake up and see the light.

    Question Jose versus Joesemi!

    You just dislike chelsea because they showed ye up a few weeks ago in anfield! As Jose himself said- "Essien is a very good player who has a exceptional disciplinary record". True it was a bad tackle but i don't think it was intentional. Essien is proving a top player after only a few months in english football.

    V. bad tackle....should have walked for it, without doubt!

    And then this gesturing to the ref to book an opponent for a challenge? - Anyplayer who does that should be yellow carded immediately, no questions.

    It's the refs job to referee not the players...simply as that! It out of order, not playing by the rules of "fairplay" and downright hypocritical, esp in the Essien case!!!
