http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo feels that his team aren’t treated fairly by referees, and hopes for this treatment to resolve itself in the near future.
Recently, Mark Clattenburg was accused of having made some controversial comments towards some of the Blues players, in a game which was barred by a number of controversial decisions that the referee had made.
The Premier League game was followed by a Capital One clash against Manchester United, and despite Chelsea getting two penalties awarded to them, Di Matteo felt that they deserved a third spot kick in the game.
"It's incredible we got two players sent off in one game," Di Matteo told reporters.
"At QPR [last season], one was correct and one was probably not correct. “
"And on Sunday [against United] one was harsh and probably correct and the second one was 100 per cent not correct, so it's incredible that always it's Chelsea Football Club.”
"So maybe that's something to think about, you know?
"We just want to be treated fairly by everybody. Nobody is talking about the handball in the second half when we should have had a penalty."
Di Matteo was then asked about the situation with Clattenburg and questioned if the official complaint would lead to any solid out come.
The manager hopes that a fair verdict can be made, while also wishing for this development not to impact the club’s reputation in front of other referees in the future.
"You know we're under pressure here - the players, the officials, the coaching staff - to perform, and I don't think there is any prejudice from that point of view."
The Italian is not the only manager out there who feels that his team has had to face a number of poor decisions this season, but it seems like he is amongst the first few to take his complaints to the next level.
The FA are going to be looking into the matter rather closely, in order to try and come up with a solid conclusion over what happened between Clattenbury and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Obi-Mikel-c18882.
Nonetheless, despite that fact, the referees in the Premier League are bound to have slowly but surely started to have developed a mindset towards certain teams, which might subconsciously caused them to make some rash decisions every now and then.
