just want to know y'all views bout John Obi Mikel's red card, Is the referee right or wrong?

Thanks.

It was a cautionabler offence but the ref. could have easily let it go seeing how Mikel already had a yellow. He's right anyway, Mikel is really showing his age.

:d ;d ;d

The Referee is 1000% Right.


He was even arguing with the Referee.


He will see himself in Trainning with Jose tommorow.

The referééing was 4 most of d game questionable but if there was any right decision it had to be Mikel's sending off. He needs not turn himself to an African version of Rooney in trying to express himself. He has given his enemies both metaphysical and imaginary a major alibi to be consigned perennially to the bench by Maureen, depending though on fitness levels of key players and barring injuries to them

i wonder o
africa type rooney indeed.what was he thinking anyway
if you are yellow-carded watch how you play but he didnt and he got red-carded.

"The Nigerian, who had been booked in the 43rd minute for tripping Hunt, hauled Sonko back by the shoulders and had to go. "

just imagine

Mikel Obi didn't deserve that red-card.
It was too harsh and it really surprises me how this buncha honkies of referees treat African players.

@ Akola,
Do u think Lampard or Terry or Joe Cole would have been sent off for the same offence Mikel commited?
Use your church mind. How many times has TERRY handled a goal-bound shot and refs looking away without carding him.
Mikel was unjustly punished and he has the right to question the ref's decisions.

He will be back-no doubt but suspension is not what Obi needs right now.
Even Wazza would have escaped a red card if he had done the same thing Mikel did.
The challenge was so innocuous but the stupid referee fell for it.
Lets see how Chelsea shape out on Wednesday against Barca cos i wanna see Hilario in goal against the mighty Messi.

Please dont be Mikel-Drunk here.

I like Mikel to the very core but i have to say the truth.

You cannot be more catholic than pope.

If i were the Refereee, i will give him RED card and even Slap him

loool Akolawole, kia u will slap him if u the referee, walahi i swaer u need a red card too, lool

Mikel is the man.
The refree just went a bit out of his senses in booking the youngster.
Theo Walcott would have walked away free with that kinda offence.
Thes honkey scumbags are partial racists and they make a big issue outta small cases from black players.
Goddang it, Mikel is just a young lad trying to find his feet in the team and his PASSION will always be HIGH.

bet if its the likes of Terry, Lampard and the rest, they wont be sumtin like that, poor boy

This waz just a lesson to teach everybody that no matter how good a player is, u wud have to learn before u can be great. Mikel is just a kid, obviously he's emotions got the better part of him, but he's growing and he wud learn, so pls guyz the lad is good, but he has to wait for he's time before he can lead. He is no way ready to lead the super eagles

Terry and lampard would play smarter when they realize they are already in the books, that is where experience comes into play. Mikel would grow into a very great player, if not the best ever.

So much for this issue of passion coming from Jackal, left to me had i been the Ref, i would have Zizou-ed him for being that silly

yeah and come to think of it the refs head is actually shaped like zizous. lol "Kapow! oh my chest"

u guys are funny, i guess what mikel needs to do, is it head butt the referee, or what do u guys tink, lol

Or maybe he should have castrated the Ref by squeezing his privates until the thing yamutu, at least that way he would have expressed himself better

nna men, that red card really pain mikel ooo, d guy one cry, loool, i pity am

The guy even try wey hin hold himself unlike dt display wey hin put up 4 WYC last year wey hin dey cry like pikin wey dem seize hin toys. Well even Rooney the man-child still dey betray emotions atimes and cry weeeeeeen

, kia kitaun, u no dey forget sumtin oohhh, the guy na big boy now so him no need cry, rooney case na another thing entirely if that one dey ready to cry, i fit find bucket for am to cry in,

I do not know what we are arguing? the rule of the game is clear, FAIR PLAY, Mikel needs a long way to go and he should watch his discipline on the field of play, so many great player has fall for that. There is no way you can argue with a refree once the card is given, any appeal will have to be after the game, i saw him arguing with a refree and even insulting him, it took Drogba and Terry intervention before he was forced to leave the field of play, to me that does not speak well of him. We have the governing body that regulate the game and we have seen an instance where a red card was cancelled, but to me he deserve that red card, Mikel is my countryman, but it is better to say the truth.

Mikel lounged at a player from the back. . . .  earned a yellow
committed another bookable offence. . . . earned another yellow
Its only when u do the yellow + yellow combination u get a red.
Foolish challenges, those,   


For shouting back at the ref? well, I think mourinho will handle that

mikel was just stupid !

the first attack was stupid,
the second one was dumb !

i would've given him 2 red cards !

And a slap.He wanted to impress Jose,but He over impressed Him.

John Obi Mikel is a talent no doubt about that but this boy needs some growing up to do because i've had opportunities to be around him especially since he started playing for chelsea he's just turning himself into something no one can really explain in terms of the way he carries himself i think all he needs at this point is to concentrate on his career and justify the long -saga that enshrined his transfer and also justify his buy,

Check out the offences that led to his bookings these were just uncalled for, for the second booking if he had brought the player down while trying to reach the ball i would have had my reservations about the red-carding but for Goodness sake you've been beaten why don't you queue up behind and try gaining the ball back instead of pulling your opponent on the neck while the ref. was just a few yards away, and what right has he to scream at the ref, is it because he is a chelsea player>??He had better grown up and not turn himself into the White pigly-toutly wayne rooney who lacks manners in all ramifications wonder how and where he learnt to kick a ball,

Mikel Obi,please find a better and more constructive way to want to be noticed on the pitch instead of resorting to those bs, i trust Murinho even though he would sure want to justify the amount spent on you he wont think twice before furnishing your bench to be well warmed up,


You got my prayers Boy Grow up and the sky is your limit because you are a star in the making,

One love bro

the referee was absolutely correct,since tackle from behind is a yellow card offence ,so u dont have to blame the referee since he has to do his work.

, that guy is turnin into sumtin else, imagine he wasn't in the team that played Lesotho the other day, he's nowhere to be found according to the coach, guess na cos him no play for 9ja thats why d ref give am d red card, lol, but anywayz always at ur back man (Mikel).

You got it wrong chap! He gave him a red card because Mikel after being yellow-carded called the Ref "Zizou's uncle'' and the Ref had the perfect alibi to punish him when he pulled down Bikey a Camerounian (this he did 2 prove to Maureen say hin don rugged now so make hin no dey take small boy eye look am again) Lol

I tell u wat there is still more 2 come 4 mikel as in his still gatta loaads of red cards to be awarded 4 him.he knows his gatta a cyellow card b4 and he came and tacle d reading guy 4rom behind .I think he deserved the red card all bcoz of his stupidity init

mikel is a little spoilt brat trying to show up.
he should go and take a lesson to how to eat with the elders. he is so arrogant
