Chelsea's coach, Liam Rosenior, has accused the referee, Paul Tierney, of focusing too much on his players' pre-match huddles and instead on a crucial penalty decision. The huddle, which has been controversial with opposition players, was formed before the game and was raised by Tierney. Rosenior argued that the players' decision to huddle was not disrespectful to their opponents. He also stated that he would seek clarification from the body responsible for refereeing.
