    well in both semi-finals the referees have been awful - bad decisions, sending offs when they shouldn't have been, missed penalty shouts... uefa gotta re-train some of these refs!

    how amazing were the two goals? i felt that chelsea were unlucky not to go through... partly cause of the ref... and also cause essien's goal was one of the best i've ever seen - 70mph first time volley! then iniesta's goal was just sweeeeeet - top corner - unstoppable.

    but drogba also feigned an injury and stopped - if he'd just carried on as he was chelsea may have got a second goal and wrapped up the game...

    there were like 4 penalty opportunies in that game and none were given >.<

    robbed to be honest, no wonder Drogba was like that

    I so agree with what Drogba said

    Its a F* Disgrace!!

    I think it might have been rigged too, because I remember hearing something for Platini saying he wanted a Non-English side in the finals

    A conspiracy perhaps

    So thats the reason why Drogba and Ballack have been protesting about.



    I think Platini didnt want to see another Chelsea Man-utd Rematch, All english champions League final

    the first one looked light, the drogba ones all look like his normal dive antics, the one where he was chopped down toure got ball... the only one that should be a penalty i think was the pique handball... the last handball was kinda hard to not, i mean it went almost into his armpit o_O

    I saw from one of the Drogba ones he was through on goal but Abidal was tugging his shirt, pulling him back, so I thought that should have been a penalty

    I can honestly say 4 penalty were missed in there especially the one where one of the chelsea guys was tugged and block from outside of the box to the inside...there would have been a yellow card given before he even enter that box...and don't forget the handball, thats hell obvious, you can even see it a mile away...even if your view of the ball is blocked, no ball can suddenly stop halfway of your body and rebound back in that situation without a handball...

    Exactly!

    I was outrage when no action was given. The referee must have been bribed

    yeah he was tugging the crap outta him... but he was still up until the goalkeeper started coming down towards the ball... at that point, Abidal wasn't tuggin, and Drogba still had control of his body... he dove there...

    Alright, at the end where the goalie came and he fell, the ref could assume he was trying to fake it, but still, tugging outside the box should give the barcelona dude a yellow card and Drogba a free kick...

    had a look at the penalty claims again, at least 2 you would have seen given straight away without thinking too much about it. i really feel for Drogba >.<

    gawain187 Well-Known Member

    Yes.....Its really frustrating knowing that the decision is not going right. Also the fact that revenge will have to be postponed for next year

    Thats why Drogba was really frustrated and swore and protesting in front of the camera

    when malouda was pulled down - that should have been a penalty. when pique hand-balled in the box - that should have been a penalty. the other claims i think would have been harsh to have been given...

    but when anelka trips over himself and abidal got sent off - that should have just been play on! never a foul in the first place, even if it was a foul, abidal wasn't the last defender and shouldn't have gotten a red card!

    I agree that Chelsea should of had two penalty's, that would have allowed us to ease into the finals for revenge.

    About the red card, I think that was harshly given tho

    Abidal's red card was harsh. the ref is shit. heard he only refereed 10 CL matches or something. you expect they get someone with more experience for such an important match

    Exactly, they should have gotten some more experienced referees to manage the important semis. Kinda reminds me of that swiss referee "Urs Meier" who got hated by english fans for disallowing that england goal in the euros.

    The same might happen to this ref being hated by chelsea fans
