It looks like the reaction to Chelsea’s second goal in the community shield could result in Man United being charged with something.
I think we all know by now why Man United’s players were protesting (if not click here) and a decision should be made today whether or not Man United will or won’t be charged.
After the goal went in Darren Fletcher, Wayne Rooney, Antonio Valencia and Patrice Evra were a few players who went upto the referee to complain. FA rules state clubs can be charged with failing to control their players if ‘three or more’ players approach the referee ‘in a confrontational manner’.
The FA have already confirmed that Chelsea’s Michael Ballack won’t be charged for deliberately injuring Patrice Evra.
The Man United players shouldn’t have surrounded the referee like that but it is alright to make rules like that but in the heat of the moment the players can’t help themselves.
