Lampard branded Fair play decision as 'strange'

Chelsea boss Lampard, who was Derby manr at time of Leeds' undercover operation in January, branded Fair Play decision "strange". Asked on Friday if he choked on his breakfast cereal when he heard news, Lampard replied: "I did smile. Do we kw who votes for se things? "What happened with Spygate was very well-documented, and n y got fined, rules changed slightly because of it. I felt it was improper. 
"To get a fair play award off back of that is. I thought it was irony at first. 
"It was a strange decision for m to win that. I think everyone h same reaction (to fair play award), to be fair, because a lot of news was put to Spygate. 
"And I think quite rightly so and it got dealt with in right way, so when you go and give an award for fair play in same year n I don't think it's right."
