Scolari silent on Terry dismissal
Terry saw red in the 35th minute for this lunge at Osman
Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari refused to talk to the media following John Terry's red card against Everton.
Scolari was seen remonstrating with referee Phil Dowd at half-time after the Blues skipper was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Leon Osman.
After the 0-0 draw, a Chelsea spokesman said: "The management had issues with a number of decisions and felt they could get into trouble if they spoke."
Toffees manager David Moyes described the challenge as "reckless".
The Scot added: "I haven't seen it properly yet, and I don't like hiding behind that, but from where I was sitting there was always a chance it would be a sending off in today's game."
Chelsea missed the chance to regain top spot in the Premier League following Monday's stalemate and look set to lose Terry for the Premier League matches against Fulham and West Brom as well as the FA Cup tie against Southend - although he is likely to be available for the crunch match against Manchester United on 11 January.

"He had a split second - he made a decision and we have to live with that. It happens, sometimes you play with 10 men."
Moyes also refused to argue against the officials' ruling that a Steven Pienaar goal late on was offside.
"I have quickly had a look at the Pienaar goal and I have to say, I think the linesman has got it right and he was offside," stated Moyes. "As well as that, it looks like Cech might have got both hands on the ball before Steven forced it in anyway.
"As managers it is important we come out and say what we see, that's how we will get respect, and I thought that was the right decision, even though it didn't go our way."
The decision ensured Chelsea came away from Goodison Park with a draw, although Cech revealed afterwards that he may have hurt his thumb in the incident.
"The ball was behind me and I caught it in front of the line. With those players sliding in I caught my thumb and I have to see how it is as I couldn't get my gloves off," he said.
"It is a pity because we have already had some chances to be top of the league and we didn't win those games.
"The way things are going, a lot of teams are dropping points and if we had won our home games we could have been top with a gap. But the Premier League is a great competition and everybody is pushing up."
