You cry babies! Chelsea KO was justice for 'diving' says Dunne

10 May 2009 09:28
Manchester City captain Richard Dunne last night claimed Chelsea deserved to be knocked out of the Champions League by Barcelona because they are 'divers'.  As Chelsea continue to bemoan what they see as an injustice at the hands of Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo, Dunne indicated they have only themselves to blame because of some of their past behaviour.  Talking before tomorrow's derby against Manchester United, Dunne said: 'The refs have been given rules and they have no option but to punish defenders sometimes. But there are a lot more divers as well. It has crept in more and more, but what goes around comes around. You dive around and teams score against you in injury time.'  Dunne did not specifically refer to Chelsea's defeat by Barcelona on Wednesday, when Andres Iniesta scored the decisive equaliser in added time, but the Republic of Ireland defender has long been a critic of Didier Drogba, whose behaviour after the semi-final shocked the football world.
