Uefa has charged Chelsea players Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa for insulting the referee after their Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona.
Disciplinary proceedings have also been initiated against Chelsea for the improper conduct of their players and the throwing of missiles by their fans.
Uefa has asked for a response by 29 May and will deal with the case on 17 June.
The Blues lost their semi-final after a series of controversial refereeing decisions by Tom Henning Ovrebo.
The Norwegian turned down a host of strong penalty appeals from Chelsea during their 1-1, second leg game at Stamford Bridge on 6 May that saw Barca go through on away goals.
Drogba and several team-mates surrounded Ovrebo after the final whistle to remonstrate with the Norwegian official over several of his decisions.
   

Drogba continued his verbal attack even after being cautioned, and had to be restrained as Ovrebo went down the tunnel.
Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink had said he hoped Uefa "might perfectly understand that the big apology of his was OK."
But a Uefa statement said: "The club are charged with the improper conduct of their players and the throwing of missiles by their supporters.
"Drogba and Bosingwa are accused of being in breach of the principles of sportsmanship by insulting the referee by making offensive comments."
Chelsea issued a statement later on Friday saying the club would respond to the charges in "due course".
The statement said: "We would like to make clear again, as we did at the time, that the incidents in question were regrettable and occurred only because of the high emotions and frustrations which arose from the disappointment of a controversial defeat in such an important game.
"We are all acutely aware of the responsibilities that lie with both the club and its players as regards setting a good example as role models and upholding the principles of fair play in football. Both of the players accept that and apologised honestly very soon afterwards for their actions."
Bosingwa is in trouble for comments he made to Portuguese television station RTP after the game.
"I don't know if he's a referee or a thief," said Bosingwa at the time. "I don't have any words to describe that man that was on the pitch."
He later also issued an apology, saying: "We were all very disappointed and frustrated after the game, but I regret describing the referee as a thief. Having had some time to reflect I would like to withdraw those comments."

It's soccer. It's not a contact sport. They can't get hurt.

I guess when you come from a sport where the objective of half of the players on the pitch in every play is to run into the guy in front of them, then anything with a bit of finesse falls short of your expectations. :>

Haha, I agree, I was just bashing. Manchester United and Chelsea are full of sissies. If Chelsea had gone through to the final against Manchester, you'd have 90 minutes of 22 players looking something like..

Football players are such fucking drama queens. So few of them actually deserve their salaries, they need to man the fuck up and stop being pussies.

Non of them deserve their salaries.
I mean, excluding the lower league players and people that are on 'normal' salaries.
But how can you justify £160,000 a week for Tevez if he joins Liverpool? Or Man City proposing a £500,000 a week salary. HALF A MILLION QUID A WEEK!

I think we should knock a few zeros off of every aspect of football. Transfers records abolished and start again, no more huge transfer fees.

It's not a game any more, hasn't been for a long time, just a lucrative business for players and agents, hardly anyone else benfits.

Obviously they're also considered contact sport, where the contact part is a bigger emphasis, but to still say that Football isn't a contact sport or a sport where there is no contact whatsoever is stupid.

Whatever though, I really couldn't care less how hard people think they are based on what sport they play. Usually it's just a sign of their own inadequacy or faults if they continue to chat shit about how hard they are based on this and that and other bullshit.


But Drogba is indeed a stupid diving cheating idiot with a taste for amateur dramatics

Football isn't a contact sport. Basketball isn't a contact sport either.

This doesn't mean there isn't contact, it just results in a foul or should as defined in the rules result in a foul.

There was once recently with Kyle Lafferty (Rangers footballer)

He got someone sent off!






He was eventually punished by Rangers for the amateur dramatics and the rolling on the floor but still, funny stuff

Nah m8 after that they were probably reflecting on the fact that they just risked their jobs.

I prefer punch ups to dives though, as much as I appreciate the sport of Football, the dives do ruin it and they do happen often enough to ruin enjoyment of the game.


I blame Italy.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
