This incident somes up everything about Drogba. Really­ gifted player but one of if not the biggest C**T of the­ premiership. A player should always want to celebrate­ with and infront his teams supporters. There was no­ need to run to the Burnley corner & celebrate right­ infront of them. Of course this was always going to­ wind them up & get a hostile reaction. He should­ get the same punishment as Carragher did against­ Arsenal if not worse because unlike Carragher, Drogba­ started it & he needs to realise he's got big­ issues with his lack integrity & the premiership­ has no time for it.

I have read all the comments here tonight and many­ should be congratulated on putting forward different­ points of view, no matter whether they might be acted­ upon by the FA or not. Some good humoured stuff as well­ thanks. What we do not need in this site sorry are the­ usual hate messages about the individual from other­ supporters, and up the reds/blues and if he was Joey­ Barton etc. The coin throwing incident is a serious­ matter as is all the other stuff some of the boys have­ raised about the way crowds of yobs react in certain­ matches, particularly local derbies. This will never be­ stamped out but the authorities have got to do­ something so that the vast majority of football fans­ can go to the matches and just enjoy the spectacle­ because this is a great game

The police are just jobless lots. They should all get a­ proper job to earn their leaving.

Drogba is an embarrasment to the English game. His­ constant diving, whinging and moaning are boring and­ have no place in football. The coin shoud have been a­ house brick and should have hit him squarely in the­ face.

Hey people, the sunderland 'fans' bombarded the­ Newcastle United fans (many of whom were women and­ children) with coins (amongst other things, including­ bucket-loads of spit), resulting in quite a few­ injuries.
Why was NOTHING done about this?
Yet here is­ Drogba, hardly 'flinging' a coin back to where­ it came from, and suddenly the Met's top brass are­ on the case and the whole nation wants their customary­ pound of flesh - most of whom won't even have seen­ the incident!!!!
Something wrong somewhere me thinks.

Drogba did right to throw the coin back as the poor fan­ needed it for his bus fare home maybe?
I think that­ Drogba was also asking the fan if it was only the one­ coin by showing one finger? Maybe the poor fan needed­ more coins to get home. Drogba was being very­ thoughtfull.
Comon lets face it - Burnley people are­ not well off like Chelsea people are and every penny­ adds up! I am sure the fan did not mean to throw his­ benefits cash onto the pitch.
Let the Police­ investigate this, it is very important and much more­ important than investigating real crimes, but maybe­ they do not have any in London?
I suppose they could­ get some CSO's to look into the incident if there­ are no officers capable. After all it seems to be only­ CSO's that one sees on the beat these days!

who ever threw deserves to be banned 4 life. anyone­ throws coins etc , it is a disgrace. u should throw­ meat pies instead. its more comical and it dosent hurt

HE'S A GOOD PLAYER BUT A DUMB @#$%.

drogba should be banned for at least 3 games. however­ the burnly fans instergated the problem with the­ throwing of objects. There for burnly fc should have a­ ban on their away support, for the same amount of time.­ This needs to stop. Fans need to grow up. Stop throwing­ objects, then moaning about a player reacting. up the­ hammers

Yes, the finger was wrong, but returning an item from­ whence it came, is that wrong, no, that is­ manners.

And Yes, Burnley Fans should face the same­ penalty, if not more, TAMPERING WITH A FA GAME?.

No, I­ am not a Chelsea fan, quite the opposite, but when are­ the police and and FA going to start to penalise the­ teams, with the bad fans, to pull the fans into line as­ they are attempting to do with the game itself.

If Drogba is ban for three matches, then the fans­ should also be ban for three match as well. Because­ players do not come into the soccer pitch with coins,­ but the fans do. Enough of racial abuses.

nr 154 stay in usa coz we don,t need c...s like u in­ this beautiful country

Drogba's actions were a disgrace, deserving of a 3­ match ban, and enrolment on a course for good manners.

if this was Joey Barton you lot would be demanding the­ death penlty, Give this guy a 6 match ban

Didn't "The Special One" hurl his winners­ medal from the cup final into the crowd? Don't­ remember any outrage at that - probably more people­ hurt in the crush to get it than Drogba could hit with­ a tennis racket and the entire contents of Joe Kinnears­ swear box.

Perhaps if he wishes to avoid something­ similar happening again he could go and play in the­ SPL.

Much ado about nothing.

and coins is better than darts,like the filthy scum­ used to throw at each other in the 70s.

geezer...can you say that in english please?
