'Nobody called me': Mourinho insists West Brom apology will have 'consequences' for Riley's integrity


Jose Mourinho has questioned the consistency of referee chief Mike Riley and said apologising to only one team in the Premier League has ‘consequences’ for his integrity. 

Riley apologised to West Brom manager Steve Clarke over the injury-time decision that cost them victory at Stamford Bridge earlier this month.

Baggies players were furious when referee Andre Marriner awarded the spot-kick after Chelsea midfielder Ramires went down in the box under a challenge from Steven Reid.

Chelsea manager Mourinho said during Friday's press conference: 'I'm curious to know if Steve Bruce got a phone call, if Chris Hughton got a phone call. I'm interseted to know if Laudrup got a phone call. Nobody has called me to apologise about the fact that there wasn't a free kick given against West Brom for their second goal. 

And nobody apologised to me for a penalty not given against Everton. I don't know if Paul Lambert got a phone call.

'I'm curious to know if it's just an isolated phone call or if people see that as a normal situation. From now on is it going to be the same for everybody? I'm curious to know the consequences.'

'At least the referees now know one thing: if in a controversial decision – I'm not saying a mistake – that hypothetically, hypothetically, favours Chelsea, they know they will be publicly exposed by their boss. They can make hypothetical mistakes favouring other teams and nothing happens. If, hypothetically, they make a mistake they are publicly exposed by their own boss.'

Shortly after the match, in the Stamford Bridge tunnel, Mourinho was involved in an angry bust-up with West Brom defender Jonas Olsson.
Exchanging a war of words following the final whistle, the Chelsea boss labelled Olsson a 'Mickey Mouse player' before the Sweden centre back told Mourinho to 'f*** off'.
The pair are understood to have settled their differences before the West Brom coach left the stadium and Mourinho insisted he has moved on.
'Giant players and giant coaches and giant clubs don't speak about what happens in the tunnel. The game is finished. Sometimes things happen, a couple of words, but giant players but giant clubs close their mouths and the next day is another day,' he said.
