UEFA official slams Mourinho over goal comments
First Published: May 06, 2005

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been slammed by European soccer's governing body UEFA for claiming the linesman "scored" Liverpool's winner in their Champions League semi-final.

A controversial winner by Luis Garcia sent Chelsea crashing out of the competition on Tuesday, leading Mourinho to claim: "They scored, if you can say that they scored, because maybe you should say the linesman scored."

Lars-Ake Bjorck, vice-chairman of UEFA's referee committee, believes that Mourinho's remark, directed at linesman Roman Slysko, "damages football".

And he hinted that Mourinho, who led Chelsea to their first top-flight title in 50 years and Cup success this season, could face further action.

"It's unbelievable he hasn't got the brain to learn from his mistake last time," said Bjorck, referring to Mourinho's recent two-match UEFA ban for bringing the game into disrepute by falsely claiming that Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard was seen leaving referee Anders Frisk's dressing room during the interval of their Champions League clash at the Nou Camp in February.

As well as his two-match ban, the Portuguese boss was fined around 9,000 pounds for his comments.

"It's incredible, especially when you put in mind he recently was punished hard with both suspension and payment charges," said Bjorck.

"If UEFA get a report we will treat it rapidly. This kind of statement damages football and everything around football."

Frisk received death threats and retired, and Swedish head of referees Bo Karlsson hopes Slysko does not suffer a similar fate.

"I hope with all my heart this linesman will not get the same terrible threats Anders got," said Karlsson.

"We can only hope Mourinho's words will not bring the same, bad, sad consequences as last time."

LOL ? How old are you?

Chelsea is not longer anything to do with LFC.

The record books will show Liverpool 1 : 0 and that is all.

Can we get over the obsession of some with the CL Semi Final, we have bigger fish to fry.
