Chelsea deny FA charge
20/03/2006 - 17:16:23Chelsea have denied a Football Association charge of failing to control their players in the Barclays Premiership match against West Brom earlier this month.
The FA charge followed an ill-tempered match at The Hawthorns which also saw Arjen Robben sent off for a reckless challenge on Jonathan Greening and Albion chief Bryan Robson fuming about Chelsea’s failure to return for the second half promptly.
The Premier League champions, who won 2-1, were charged in relation to an incident before half-time when a number of players surrounded referee Mark Halsey complaining about a challenge on Ronnie Wallwork.
