Robben Unfortunate - Robson

Last updated : 05 March 2006 By Site Editor
The Dutch international was dismissed 15 minutes into the second half by referee Mark Halsey for a foul on Jonathan Greening.

"I felt Robben was a bit unfortunate to be sent off.

"Drogba then tried to even it up but Jonathan Greening did not touch him. He dived.

"That is why Jose had a different opinion to me. But I felt it was a blatant dive by Drogba. At least the referee did not buy that one.

"I felt we played well and deserved something from the game.

"But we shot ourselves in the foot and gave away two poor goals when we had possession.

"But overall I felt we played well and if we continue to play how we did, apart from the two minutes when we conceded the goals, it is a good sign for the rest of the season."
