Get Footie News by RSSChelsea and Michael Ballack did the Right thing and Saved their Face from Embarrassment
Michael Ballack was given a red card by referee Mike Riley for stomping Mohamed Sissoko of Liverpool. He was in disbelief and in protest of the red card, after it was handed down to him, only to backtrack after video replay evidence showed he was too late and did not have the ball in play when he arrived.
Chelsea allowed the 1 pm deadline for filing of protest pass and see Michael sit it out for their games against Fulham, Aston Villa and Reading while eligible for play against Levski Sofia and Portmouth.
It is no brainer that Chelsea should no longer appeal the ugly incident caught on tape, instead they should start making adjustments while Michael Ballack is serving his suspension.
