CONSPIRACY theorists have been having a field day with the fallout from the
Reading-Chelsea match on Saturday continuing unabated this week. Further fuel
was poured on the fire yesterday when it was revealed that Mike Riley, the
referee at the Madejski Stadium, has been relieved of his game in the
Barclays Premiership on Sunday.
Riley antagonised JosMourinho, the Chelsea manager, by apparently
requesting that Cech, the injured Chelsea goalkeeper, be removed from the
pitch. He was also criticised by the Portuguese for not sending off Stephen
Hunt, the Reading midfield player, whose right knee had collided with Cech旧
head as they went for the ball.
Cech underwent surgery for a depressed fracture of the skull at the Radcliffe
Infirmary in Oxford and although he is recovering well, he is unlikely to
play until the new year.
Riley denied Mourinho旧 charge, saying that he had acted according to the
correct protocol for players who had suffered a head injury.
Riley was scheduled to take charge of the North-East derby between
Middlesbrough and Newcastle United at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday, but
the FA Premier League has replaced him with Martin Atkinson. An 贈
dministrative error鐠has been blamed, with Riley having previously booked the
weekend off for a family holiday.
While it is rare for such mistakes to be made in refereeing appointments, it
is believed that the match assessors at the Madejski were 滞appy鐠with Riley旧
display, during which he had to deal with another head injury, to Carlo
Cudicini, Cech旧 replacement. He also sent off John Obi Mikel, the Chelsea
midfield player, and Andre Bikey, of Reading.
Cudicini, who fell awkwardly after a robust challenge from Ibrahima Sonko,
the Reading defender, was discharged from the Royal Berkshire hospital and
resumed light training yesterday. However, it is perhaps convenient that
Riley will be away from the front line this weekend, with Cudicini having
harsh words for him.
戦観 sure if a collision like Sonko旧 with me had happened between two
players in the middle of the pitch, he would have got a red card,鐠Cudicini
said. 斉ut the referee did not even blow for a foul. Sonko旧 challenge was
extremely late. I have no qualms with him, I観 angry with the ref.鐊
Mourinho has simmered with discontent since Saturday and used last night旧
match programme as an outlet. 禅etr Cech was unlucky to play football
against a 蠎unter鈬鐠he wrote. 浅e is lucky to be OK after the scary surgery.
