Megson criticises Blues

Bolton manager Gary Megson believes the behaviour of Chelsea's players on Wednesday night was unacceptable. Chelsea bowed out of the UEFA Champions League in dramatic circumstances as Andres Iniesta secured a 1-1 aggregate draw for Barcelona with a late away goal.The Blues were also frustrated by a series of unsuccessful penalty appeals, with Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack both angrily confronting referee Tom Henning Ovrebo.Drogba was also picked up swearing into the television camera and Megson was appalled by the scenes."I can fully understand the Chelsea players being as irate as they were, being so close to a Champions League final yet finishing so far away from it," he said."But I thought the scenes did not reflect well on the game we have - not so much Chelsea and the players involved but football.No justification"Whether the referee has had a good, bad or indifferent game you can't behave like that."Football does not intend to hold its players up as role models, people tend to do that for them, but just in normal behaviour that is not on."Megson does not think there was any excuse for what happened and he expects those involved to eventually apologise.He said: "You can come out with a load of reasons why, although you can never justify it, but it is just not on and I'm sure everyone involved in it will apologise for those things."It does not reflect well on the game itself."
