Terry charged over Poll comments

Chelsea captain John Terry has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following comments he made about referee Graham Poll.

 

Terry claimed Poll had said Chelsea needed to be "taught a lesson" before receiving his second yellow card in the 2-1 defeat at Tottenham on 5 November.

 

The FA said in a statement: "This claim is denied by Graham Poll.

 

"The charge has been brought on the basis that Terry's comments question Poll's integrity."

 

The FA statement added: "Therefore this constitutes improper conduct. He has until 15 December to respond to the charge."

 

The referee has also been cleared by the FA of saying anything inappropriate towards Chelsea players during the same match.

 

The statement continued: "Responses sought from Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, Chelsea FC and the match officials confirm that Poll did not say that Chelsea needed 'to be taught a lesson'.

 

"There will no action against any parties on this matter."

 

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who also questioned Poll's decision-making after the Spurs game, will not face any formal disciplinary action.

Dont know if its been on already of if its common knowledge, but Terry's mum isn't too well at the moment. Hope she gets better, he played against the Mancs without saying anything. Fair dues.
