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 (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2005480028,00.html), 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.

So that makes it alright?? It's childish and disgraceful.

No if you read what i said i said that all players do it and nothing's ever done about it i never said anything in my post about it being alright.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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?:confused: 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.
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!!!

Of course when Betis qualified last season and pre the game v luckypool a few weeks back they were highly rated, especially in midfield, what a lame excuse.
Who is in all fairness worth 20 mil? Rio? Drunky Dumpy put him in his place last night. Vieri? Becks? SWP? 20 mil is scandalous to be paying.
If this guy is going to be this good after 10 games imagine what he'll be like when he settles in like Makelele and Drogba now seem to have done.

I didn't rate their midfield particularly highly :confused:
And I think by mentioning Dogba you've confirmed my point about Chelsea paying over the odds ;)
The boy might have got away with it in France but if he continues to 'go over the ball' in tackles (like his gem last night on Hamann) then he'll be taking a nice trip up the King's Rd to see our friends at Lancaster Gate answering to a disrepute charge.

Good cause to open this thread again after his attempt to relieve Didier Hamann of his kneecap last night. It was a cynical, cowardly, scummy thing to do and this guy, for all his ability, needs to be taught a lesson. Pity Keane and Vieira are no longer in the premiership as they're probably the only ones capable of giving it to him.

UEFA are hanging fire on whether to take action following Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien’s controversial challenge on Dietmar Hamann during last night’s draw against Liverpool in the Champions League game at Stamford Bridge.
European football’s governing body are awaiting reports from referee Herbert Frandel and match delegate Indrek Kannik of Spain.
They are expected to arrive within the next few days and it might be it is the German official and not the player who is carpeted.
Frandel did not penalise Essien for his lunge at Hamman – the Liverpool midfielder described it as “the worst tackle I have experienced in my career.”
A UEFA spokesman said: “The fact that he did not show any card does not mean that UEFA later can say it was an incident for a red card or yellow.
“But there will be evaluation of the referee as always by the match observer.”

* High horses all round, ref saw it - knew it was an accident and barely made contact yet still people crying about it.
Now that filth bag Sissoko who went over the top of the ball in what the pros call a sure fire way of "doing" someone. Is he going to be banned for three games also?
* The above post is in true Devils Advocate style, as my defence of the Essien thug after Notlob game was well and truly wrong and Soapy Joe was spot on.

Have to say I didn't think it was as bad as everyone is making out. If I were the ref would have booked him and told him to watch it nothing more. Personally thought Sissokos over the ball tackle on Gudjonson was far worse. Why is no one starting a thread about him being a cheat. Get over it. And before anyone asks I'm not a chelsea fan.

essein is a dirty cheat after his tackle but none would call gerrad a dirty cheat after he bust cambell with a very similar tackle just above the knee or his 2 footed stamp on naysmith .

Are you a complete fool or just not aware of the full facts what people are trying to say is that Essien is getting away with these tackles not even a booking. Gerrard was hauled up in front of the FA for his tackle and punished with a 3 or 5 game ban. No Liverpool fans on here stud up for him so i think your point is pretty stupid.

UEFA are hanging fire on whether to take action following Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien’s controversial challenge on Dietmar Hamann during last night’s draw against Liverpool in the Champions League game at Stamford Bridge.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has given UEFA the green light to take disciplinary action against Michael Essien for the Chelsea midfielder’s shocking foul on Liverpool’s Dietmar Hamann.
Essien’s knee-high challenge was missed by German referee Herbert Fandel but Blatter confirmed that under the rules of the game UEFA could use video evidence to bring charges against the Chelsea player.
Blatter told a news conference in Leipzig: “In 1994 the FIFA executive committee took a decision that the disciplinary committee can use television evidence in the case of infractions against the laws of the game that have not been identified by the referee.
“As this happened in a Champions League game it is up to UEFA to decide whether to review video evidence.”
In October, Essien escaped any further disciplinary action following another dangerous tackle on Bolton defender Tal Ben Haim despite referee Rob Styles, after reviewing TV footage, wanting to upgrade the yellow card he awarded to red.
The Football Association consulted FIFA and were told that the decision could not be reversed.
Blatter appeared to contradict that today by saying “if it was a blatant red card and only a yellow card was given the disciplinary body can transfer it“, but FIFA communications director Markus Siegler later clarified the rules.
Siegler said: “You cannot upgrade or downgrade one card to another but you can take action if the referee has not seen an incident.”
UEFA are waiting for reports from referee Frandel and match delegate Indrek Kannik of Spain before deciding whether to take action.

UEFA has today instigated disciplinary proceedings against Michael Essien, charging the Chelsea FC midfielder with gross unsporting conduct following the English club's UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool FC on Tuesday.
Tackle on Hamann
The charge relates to Essien's tackle on Liverpool's Dietmar Hamann, which occurred out of the sight of both the referee and his assistants during the 0-0 Group G draw at Stamford Bridge. Any statement about the above, as well as any evidence, can be submitted to UEFA by 14 December 2005. The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will decide on the matter at its next meeting on 15 December.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Essien is nothing but a cynical thug. The tackel he made the other night against liverpool was a disgrace.
Just because he arrived in england with a big price ticket doesnt mean he cant be sent off and banned for several games. The fact that the dim wit is resorting to physicality instead of his footballing ability in games just highlights how Chelsea got sold a Imbecile.
