Uefa chief blasts Blues

Uefa general secretary David Taylor has condemned Chelsea's players for their actions after their Champions League exit to Barcelona. Barca dispatched the Blues courtesy of an injury time strike from Andres Iniesta but Chelsea feel they were on the end of a number of contentious decisions from Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo.Didier Drogba launched a tirade at the official live on television, while team-mate Jose Bosingwa publicly called him a 'thief'.Both players have since apologised but Taylor remains less than happy with what went on at Stamford Bridge.Behaviour"When we get to the top level we expect better in terms of players' behaviour," Taylor said in The Guardian."Refereeing is an extremely difficult job. All I would ask is a bit more respect is shown towards officials. "Notwithstanding the high emotions, high drama, high stakes involved, these guys are out there in the middle having to make decisions just like that, on the spot. "I spoke to [the Chelsea chief executive] Peter Kenyon at the end of the match and he fully accepts there are no conspiracies at all. "Of course there are questions from time to time about refereeing standards, but that's looked at continually in terms of performances. That's what we do as a responsible organisation."
