With the news breaking today that Chelsea physio Eva Carneiro has been essentially dropped from the Chelsea squad, unable to attend matches, even training matches, or perform her duties outside of Chelsea's training ground, there have been a lot of unhappy people accusing Jose Mourinho of bullying the doctor and taking out his frustration on her.
It certainly did seem ridiculous to punish Carneiro for treating a player after being waved on, regardless of the severity, and many have offered their opinion on social media.
That includes Richard Keys. The controversial former Sky Sports presenter who was sacked for being filmed while unaware and making inappropriate sexual comments about a female referee, tweeted earlier about the likelyhood of Carneiro filing a case against her employers:
Chelsea haven't sacked the Doc to avoid claims of sexual discrimination but they're likely to face claims of constructive dismissal.

I mean, surely this is one discussion Keys could have just let pass? He set himself up for quite a ribbing on twitter, and that's just what he got:
@richardajkeys When is your case going to court, Rich?

@richardajkeys maybe it’s sexual
Harassment? I wonder what it’s like getting sacked for that?
