Excellent - Mourinho throws his teddies out of his pram and 'demotes' his first team doctor as she was too prompt at attending to one of his pole-axed players and then showing duty of care to the player ensuring he was OK before he continued.

How was she to know - being a girl - that she should let him roll about a bit in agony, then when play not stopped and no action against another player taken - leap to his feet when he spots he was needed in an ongoing passage of play. Oh my dear - you just don't understand men's football.
 
It's obvious Mourinho knows his player was acting and not really hurt. Of course being a doctor, she would assume the player is being honest.....

Personally if I were her, I would tender my resignation straight away.
 
not only that but unless the rules have changed only officials and players are allowed on the pitch and the physio's etc have to be invited onto the pitch by the referee. they cant just go running on to the pitch!
funny how Maureen isn't giving his player stick for faking injury!

This!

Feigning injury is another of the far too many scourges of top level Football! I believe previous abuse was why the Rule about on-field treatment was brought in some time ago.

The sooner Mourinho turns his anger to Hazzard for lying there not contributing to the team effort, the better!

It's her job to look after the players' wellbeing and health.
She was, apparently, invited onto the pitch by the referee.
It's her job to decide on the players' physical state, not Mourinho's ...................... she was merely doing her job!
It's the managers' job to make sure their team wins football matches, it's the physios' job to make sure the players are fit enough to play.
The problem is that some players, Hazard being just one example, are totally unhurt 95% of the time they go down, the physio has to respond on the 5% offchance that they are actually hurt.
God forbid, but what if Mourinho had stopped the physios from going onto the pitch, only to discover that Hazard was having a heart problem a lá Fabrice Muamba!
Mourinho has shown himself up to be a total jerk ........................ again.
I have an inkling that all is not well down at the Bridge!

Slime.
 
In essence there is a massive massive difference between players being hurt (95%) or 100% of the time or not at all and players being injured.
The only way to know the difference between the two is to actually assess a player.
As a Chelsea player I would be livid with Hazard for being hurt and not manning up. A Dr, who all the Chelsea players had trust in has now lost her primary job, doing what she loved. For that Hazard should hang his head in shame and back his Dr.

John Madden who was an esteemed Americam football coach said you can play when your hurt but not when your injured. The Dr determined which was which and he never argued with his Dr.
Mr Moaniniho has reached a new low

What as her sex got to do with anything?

Good question - one for Mr M as he angrily declared after the game that she didn't understand football. And it's rather important as the Chelsea doctor is a lone female in the field and has been subject to, and stood up against, a lot of sexist comments from crowds - and so quite a role model for girls.
 
Ahhh football and especially the premier league that takes itself far too seriously. Where you can behave like a despot dictator and utter a load of nonsensical garbage, but as long as you are the chosen one then that's OK. Would be nice if the media stood up to him , but most of them have their tongues shoved so far up his backside and need him to fill some column inches or 2 minutes of air time they dare not point out he is behaving like a spoilt brat. IMHO of course. ;)

Hasnt Jon Fearn also had his football knowledge questioned?
Obviously it makes for a better story because Eva is an attractive female.

Two members of the medical staff ran onto the field; one male, one female.

Mourinho criticised his medical staff for not understanding the game. He didn't name a gender. Both male and female members of staff involved have been disciplined according to reports, yet the press report mainly on the female involved and you turn it into a sexist issue. :rolleyes:
 
I'm pretty sure team doctors are allowed onto the pitch without the referee's permission. Their duty of care takes over.

Not me turning into a sexist issue ~ mourinho has made it one and the media are seeing it that way. Petty and I'll-advised behaviour by Mourinho.

So why did you feel the need to type "GIRL" in your op?
Where was the reference to her male colleague ?

I'm not saying I agree with Jose,but I fail to see how this is a case of sexism:confused:
 
I've always thought that it's very easy to differentiate between a real injury and cheating. If cheating, expect outstretched arms, several somersaults/rolls/double salko's/toe loops or whatever to prove your athleticism and draw attention to yourself. If really injured, you go down and stay down and don't move in case you make the injury worse.

As you may have guessed, I cannot stand the blatant cheating that goes on in "the beautiful game" (whoever came up with that comment was a total knob, imo of course).
 
I hope Mourinho sees the error of his ways, especially in the way the doctor has been a role model, being a lone female in a mans world and who has had to endure torments from fans and constant media attention. Shame she's getting the Jose treatment for actually doing her role and ensuring duty of care. So what if they had nine men for a while. They didn't concede

& what about Jon Fearn?
Surely it would be sexist if he changed his mind simply because Eva is female.
