The Special One sure is "special"

By on

He is the manager of Chelsea FC and known for his temper; know he is surrounded by yet another controversy. Jose Mourinho is being charged by the FA.

He call himself the Special One, and Jose Mourinho really is one special man. At least when it comes to controversies. In the past,  he has been labeled as "enemy of football" by the UEFA referee's chief, Volker Roth, fined £200.000 by FA for meeting with Ashley Cole and in breach of the Premier League rules. Even worse, when he was in Real Madrid, he was seen gouging the eye of then Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova and then calling him a penis on the following press conference.

This time the offence is lighter than earlier as he was ordered from the technical area by referee Anthony Taylor during Chelsea's match against Cardiff on Saturday. According to the Chelsea manager, Cardiff was time-wasting, and the manager protested several times. Finally, Anthony Taylor had enough and sent him up among the supporters on the stand. Of course, Mourinh0 did not understand the referee's decision:

"I don't know why the referee stopped me doing my work," he said after the match.

However, the FA understands the referees decision and have decided to charge Mourinho with improper conduct. The Portuguese has until 18.00 BST on 24 October to respond to the charge. He probably won't to avoid further penalties, but we all now that it burns inside him to say something. This is without a doubt, not the last controversy we have seen from the "Special One".

Friday Five: Cantona Special

By on

On this date, 18 years ago the French Manchester United star Eric Cantona showed his Kung-Fu skills against a Crystal Palace fan... Great Dane Football Blog celebrates some of the most controversial moments in English Football.








5. Brian Clough hits fans
 
Brian Clough has always been a rather controversial manager, adding to this reputation in 1989. Clough was manager of the Nottingham Forest team winning 5-2 against QPR, when fans ran into the pitch celebrating. However, Clough was not a fund of the fans reaction and punched two in the face. The two fans were so devoted to Forest and Brian Clough that they both apologised for their behaviour on national television.



4. The Toon fight

In 2005, Newcastle United was behind 3-0 against Aston Villa, however, the worst part of that match was the fight between the team mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer. The bust-up occurred in the 81st minute when the two players squared up after a heated exchange. Lee Bowyer appeared to throw the first punch while Kieron Dyer only defended himself not punching back. However, both players received a red card and apologised to the club and the fans after match, promising it would never happen again.



3. Keegan vs. Bremner

Back in the 70's Billy Bremner was two combative souls. During the 1974's Charity Shield,  a brawl broke out between the two, and both was sent of. As that wasn't enough both players decided to throw their shirts to the ground in aggression, and walked bare-chested from the pitch. Both players were banned for 11 games and fined £500.



 2. Barton vs. Manchester City


Joey Barton is known for his outburst both on and off the pitch. Last year, during the match against Manchester City last season, Barton went mad. First, he elbows Tevez in the face, and was sent off. Then he tried to kicked Agüero before trying to headbutt Micah Richards... Result: 12 games ban.





1. Everybody was Kung-fu fighting!
