Ashley Cole is a cheating cry baby!
As if Ashley Cole's horrific lunge was not bad enough, his behaviour afterwards was a disgrace. And all he got was a yellow card, both actions should have been a straight red. Why the leniency?

Were the players from Spurs telling him about Sol & his wife?
He`s not on his own, as per the last post, the majority of prem players are, diving, cheating spoilt brats.
In Cole`s case I hope the FA get their head out of the backside & ban him for 10 games, without any wages

Unfortunately not...
"The Football Association cannot take any further action over Ashley Cole's challenge on Alan Hutton because the Chelsea star was booked for the tackle.
Referee Mike Riley cautioned Cole for a late and high tackle on the Tottenham defender during Wednesday's 4-4 draw.
An FA spokesman told BBC Sport: "The referee saw the incident and dealt with it. We cannot re-referee matches."

Have no idea why he didn't go (certainly the people next to me in the Chelsea end thought he was a gonner). Can only assume that Mr Riley (possibly one of the daftest refs in the Premiership) didn't want to be seen to be reacting to the entire Spurs bench leaping up, running towards the pitch and screaming at him.

Gromit does that mean the spineless FA can`t act or AFRAID to act, as that behaviour was nothing short of arrogance, after atackle like that.
howeve, the club could couldn`t they?

It's time they changed this stupid rule about the "ref having dealt with it"
How about when a player expertly dives and fools everybody as well as the ref, but then we see the 10 slo-mo replays from every angle and it's a blatant dive? Nothing is done - it's exactly the same as having security cameras recording a break-in at a warehouse but refusing to do anything about it because the security guard didn't see it.
Far from undermining the ref's authority, they are actually condoning the cheating of one of their own officials by this stance, and the saddest thing is if they refereed incidents like this in a retrospective manner after the event they would stamp ot this form of cheating in a couple of months.
3 game ban if you go down without being touched, 5 if you feign injury as well. Crime would no longer pay - at the moment if you dive you risk a yellow card (big deal) ONLY if the ref is SURE, while the reward for getting away with a dive is "winning" a penalty and a possible red card for an opponent that hasn't touched you, so what are you gonna do? it's a no-brainer.
