Jose uses the word 'cheat'

Last updated : 14 January 2005 By Paul Lagan
Jose Mourinho has said the word everyone in football has being using in regard to Neale Barry's performance on Wednesday night.

Jose has gone on Chelsea TV, and when asked about the officiation of the Manchester United Carling Cup semi-final 1st leg, the Chelsea boss said: "It was whistle and whistle, fault and fault and cheat and cheat".

The word which will alert the pen-pushers at the FA is of course "cheat".

It might prompt them to come out of a meeting, or extended lunch and defend the "reputation of the game" from the charge levelled against Barry by Mourinho.

Jose, will of course happily take a cab to Soho Square with the evidence to back up his allegation.

Neale Barry and the referee's union will of course have their say.
They will then come under severe scrutiny.

All and all, it can't be a bad thing to have the whole debate carefully examined.

This one will roll on and on if the FA think they can censor Jose.
The FA of course will wilt under media pressure and try to impose a fine on Mourinho.

Chelsea will, if they support their manager, as they should, have the courage of their convictions, and refuse to pay it.
What do you think.
Tell all on the messageboard.
