Teasy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The handball was an absolute Pen. Pique being next to Anelka when he fell would have been harsh, but it's been given before. The last one would have been fucking unbelievable. No ref in the world would give that. Pique's hand never went towards the ball, but as I said, he shouldn't have had his hand sticking out and would have not been surprised if it was given. It doesn't move away from the ball either.

Guest BooBoo Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wonder if words filtered through to Chezza, currently strutting round the stage at the Arena with the rest of the Girls. Can't imagine the local crowds of girls and gays giving two shits mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't like Chelsea but Drogba was right, that was a fucking disgrace. To not give 3 clear pens plus another good shout for one.... that ref is either a cheat or way out of his depth. I'd be shocked if you ever saw that ref again. I'd probably be furious if I were a Chelsea fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I can sympathize with Drogba though. I'm happy Barca are going through but what the fuck does Chelsea have to do to get a penalty. Most of those calls weren't even borderline, they were blatantly obvious pens. What the fuck? The Pique handball and maybe the challenge by Alves on Malouda. That's it. The rest of them really weren't. and pulling Drogba's shirt, unless you think shirt pulling is legal. 3 wrong decisions on the pens makes for a really bad ref performance, and that's before you even consider Abidal's laughable sending off.

Most of those calls weren't even borderline, they were blatantly obvious pens. What the fuck? The Pique handball and maybe the challenge by Alves on Malouda. That's it. The rest of them really weren't. That's still two penalties! Yes, yes. I'm not going to argue that Chelsea didn't deserve the pens, of course they did. But if they had actually come out to play and tried to score, they probably would have because Barca's defense were very leaky tonight. But they didn't. They scored one and sat back, inviting Barca to play in their half and eventually they got punished. End of. Chelsea can fuck off. Now Barca will have Puyol and Henry back for the final, Keita can sit on the bench again and their midfield and starting trio will all start. Good shit. What a good day. It's a great day. Chelsea flame out in the most spectacular fashion possible, and Kobe will drop 50 tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fraser Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Quite simply, the most inept display of refeering one could ever dread to see. Don't like Chelsea but it felt as though Platini was refereeing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 A victory for real football tonight, IMO. Refreshing to see something not going Chelsea's way for once. Also, Terry, Ballack and Drogba (apparently) all a disgrace. It's what you come to expect with them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't know which match some of you were watching, but there was only one team over the two legs who was playing football and trying to win and they waved the Catalan flag. If someone has possession and area statistics, not that they mean much, it'd show also how many times Chelsea actually got out of their own halves to look for a win. Barca deserves to win this. Chelsea defended well but it was like watchin Bolton or Pompey do their thing: there were two blue shirts surrounding a yellow one each time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that the 50-50 between Alves and Malouda as well. If you're going to call that a foul, at least call it where it occured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
