The Drogba, The Burnley Fan, and the Carling Cup...

Once upon a time, a certain Drogba scored a goal.
The Drogba was happy, and celebrated the goal in
front of the nearest stand there was.
Unfortunatly, that stand was full of Burnley fans.
Once particular Burnley fan was a total and complete idiot.
This Burnley fan decided to chuck a coin at Drogba.
Drogba, reacting as any normal human being would,
chucked the coin back.

So who do you think got punished?

The pillock who decided to throw the coin in the first place?

No.

Drogba is going to get punished.

What about the moron who started it, you're asking.

As it stands, absolutely nothing.

This is ridiculous.

British law clearly states that you may defend yourself
to the same extent as you were attacked.
If having a coin chucked at you isn't attack, nothing is.

OK, Drogba was wrong to chuck it back, but it's natural!

If I punch you in the groin, you return the favour!
If I hit you in the temple, you try to do that to me!
If I chuck a coin at you, you chuck it back!

This is the vital point!

Human instinct dictates that we do to others what they do to us!

Simple as, case closed.

Meanwhile, the match ended 1-1, with Burnley winning on penalties.

This is a great day for football!

Top 4 dominance is now, arguably, broken, with Liverpool also falling!

Or is it just the wheels coming off at Chelsea?

In roughly 85 home games, Chelsea have lost exactly 2.

Both have come in the space of 3 games...

Make of it what you will!

But whether Chelsea are losing it or not, whether Drogba
is an idiot or not, there is never, never an
excuse to lob a coin at another human being.

And you never have the right to complain when they do the same back to you.

Norwich defender Dejan Stefanovic is likely to miss
the rest of the season with ruptured cruciate knee ligaments.

The 34-year-old suffered the injury in an innocuous-looking
challenge in the 2-2 draw with Preston at Carrow Road.

Stefanovic joined the club from Fulham in the summer
and Norwich manager Glenn Roeder told BBC Radio
Norfolk the Serb is facing a long road back to fitness.

"This is an injury that, if you are not prepared to
put the work in, you won't make a full recovery," said Roeder.

The former Portsmouth defender has made an
impressive start to his Norwich career and had
formed a promising partnership with John Kennedy
in central defence.

Stefanovic suffered the injury when he challenged for a ball on the halfway line in the draw with Preston, he
was immediately stretchered off and and left
the ground on crutches.

Meanwhile, Doncaster Rovers striker Darren Byfield
has joined League One Oldham on a one-month loan deal.

The 32-year-old has made just three starts for Rovers
following his release from Bristol City, and is available
for Oldham's clash with Northampton Town.

"The way that Doncaster Rovers play, it was new to me,
and I wasn't really playing games," the Jamaica
international told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"There were other clubs, but the best option
was to come to Oldham."
