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.
Aw poor Hamann, such a clean player as well.

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.
I found it funny to hear Dunphy talking about Essien being a scumbag last night considering his lover's tackle on Haaland.
and he refered to beckam as a great player !!! after years of saying he was nt
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.
On one hand can see where people come from when they say that Liverpool fans should remember Baros' tackle and Gerrard's history (Naysmith, Veron etc.) and Hamann got away with one at Anfield last season.......
But Essien has to be hunted for this. It was a disgraceful, cowardly, intentional assault. If anyone who disagrees look at the footage from behind Essien, he deliberately moves his foot - originally heading for the ball - towards Hamann and leaves it there...
They should throw the book at him.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Throw the book at him, he can't be seen to get away with these tackles. Its time UEFA and the FA allowed video evidence for nasty tackles.
Some form of citing like they have in the rugby may be a good idea.
he isnt getting away with it , the fa decided yesterday that they will have a hearing in a week , and he will prob get a 3 to 5 game ban .
i notice still no hearing or any fans up in arms over sissoko's equally bad challenge
I didn't catch the match actually. I am a Chelsea fan (in English football) and that was just a really bad tackle and he deserves whatever he gets.

Totaly Agree with every thing except the word tackle (tackle suggests an attempt to win the ball)being used
if you watch the footage you can see essien ignore the ball and go through hamman who was coming in from the other side
he then went down and feigned injury.
the most unbelieveable thing was that Chelsea got the free kick
He did the same thing against Bolton that time. Good player but jesus woul he just play football. I want Maka back. At least he knows what he's doing in that position.

Still think it's been blown out of proportion. The legend that is Shaun Derry made a tackle on Jody Morris on the opening day of the season for Leeds v Millwall that was at least twice as bad as Essiens and didn't even get a telling of from the ref, let alone a ban! Morris made absolutely nothing of it, got straight back up and didn't have a b!tch in the media like Hamman who as far as I remember has made a couple of tackles of the same magnitude in the past. It's a contact sport and Hamman should really just take it like a man and get on with it. What goes around comes around.

Europe isn't about being physical. In the Championship there's alot more of that.

Still the same game. The more high profile the games seem to be, the more inclined the media are to over exagerate everything. For example, if Ronaldinho had scored the goal Bobby Zamora scored on Monday v Birmingham we'd be hearing about it for months. Thats why I much rather watch Championship than Premiership or Champions League. THe players are far more honest.

You would have to stick the boot in(pardon the expression) regarding anything Liverpool anto! The reason there is no outcry over Sissoko's tackle is because it was distinctly different to Essiens. Hamann was caught around the knee area and Essien's eyes were only fixed on that target, whereas Sissoko clearly got part of the ball. Yes, there is a question of whether there was intent on Sissoko's part part because he followed through, but anybody can see at this stage that he is more clumsy than malicious in his play. A slight difference to his African compatriot who could have neded two careers.
