Chelseas Jose Mourinho faces touchline ban after being sent to the stands against Cardiff City Jose Mourinho could be hit by disciplinary action after row about time-wasting with officials at Stamford Bridge Jose Mourinho could face a touchline ban after being sent to the stands during Chelseas 4-1 win at Stamford Bridge.Mourinhowas ordered from the touchline in the 70th minute after taking exception to Taylor warning Branislav Ivanovic for time-wasting at a throw-in. Mourinho had claimed Cardiff players were time-wasting earlier. The angry one sat among fans in the East Stand for the rest of the game. Chelsea fan Sean Buxton posted a photo of him sitting alongside Mourinho on Twitter, with the message: OMG Mourinho is sitting next to me wtf!!!!. He later added:Hes taking the **** with the leg room.The Chelsea manager declined to attend his post-match press conference but Steve Holland, the assistant first-team coach, said: Jose is very frustrated and it stems from the time-wasting from the opposition from basically the first two or three minutes of the game. We mentioned it to the fourth official in a professional way on countless occasions.The referee didnt appear to do anything about it but when we had a throw-in, Ivanovic had the ball in his hands for two seconds, and the referee was about getting the ball back into play and pointing at his watch. So it was a case of huge frustration with that. And to be sent off for that was very harsh. #okf
