Chelsea show lack of respect to refs
Chelsea may top the Premier League table but Jose Mourinho's side have the unfortunate tag of being the worst-behaved team in the top flight when it comes to respecting officials, according to Football Association Fair Play delegates.
Chelsea, who have a seven-point lead in the Premier League with seven games remaining, have received widespread criticism for their attitude towards referees this season despite Mourinho suggesting they are victims of a 'campaign' by the FA and media.
The data, complied by FA Fair Play delegates who attend every Premier League match, shows Chelsea have the least respect towards match officials, the Telegraph reported.
Teams are marked out of seven when assessing behaviour towards the referee and his assistants, and Chelsea have a respect mark of 159 compared to Liverpool's 181, which makes Brendan Rodgers's side the most respectful towards officials.
"A positive attitude, including the acceptance of doubtful decisions without protest, will be rewarded with high marks," guidelines published on the Premier League website state.
"Normal behaviour without any particular positive attitudes or gestures towards match officials is likely to receive a score of 6 rather than 7."
Chelsea are also the second worst team when it comes to the behaviour of club staff on the touchline, with struggling Sunderland the only side above them.
Mourinho's assistant Rui Faria appeared to celebrate Cesc Fabregas's late winner right in front of opposition manager Chris Ramsey in Sunday's west London derby against Queens Park Rangers.
"Positive and negative aspects of the team officials' conduct will be assessed – such as whether they calm down or provoke angry players or fans and how they accept the decisions of the referee," the guidelines state.
"Co-operation with the media will also be taken into account."
West Ham United currently lead the overall Fair Play League.
Reports shows extent of Balotelli abuse
Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck and Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge have also been targeted with more than a thousand discriminatory messages.
In total, Kick it Out's research estimates there have been 134 000 discriminatory posts this season, and 39 000 of these directed towards Premier League players.
English football has long prided itself on its anti-racism policies, contrasting them with what has often been seen as a less enlightened approach in other European countries where racist chanting against black players during matches – something no longer commonplace in England – still takes place.
However, Kick it Out's evidence suggests the anonymity of social media is providing a new platform for racist abuse of footballers in England.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said he was taken aback by the extent of the abuse directed Balotelli's way, saying: "I was aware of the findings and I was surprised and shocked.
"I think one message is one too many to be honest. We support all the relevant organisations who are working to stamp all of this out.
"In the modern world and modern football it is something which is very much there, but we need to eradicate all of it out of social life and professional sport," the Northern Irishman added.
"I think it is the responsibility of us all to help all the various organisations stamp it out."
Earlier, Kick It Out director Roisin Wood told Britain's Press Association: "It is really shocking. We knew there was an issue but even we were shocked by how many the players have received. For one player to have received over 8 000 abusive messages is phenomenally awful.
"We don't see the problem going away. Some of the perpetrators are young people and they need educating that you cannot sit in your room and abuse people like this."
Balotelli, who has suffered racist abuse throughout a career which started in Italy, was himself banned for one match and fined £25 000 in December after being found guilty of breaching Football Association rules by posting a controversial image of Super Mario on Instagram.
