*Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

Haha wtf Ballack? He's going to kill the referee.

TBH he could claim justifiable homicide. One of the worst displays I think I've seen, and I've seen Stuart Atwell

 

[Jono]

LOL! Drogba just got yellow carded after the whistle.


HHAHAHAH He just yelled at the camera:

"This is a ****ing disgrace"

Never seen anything like this in any sport

 

[Agent TBY]

Farce.

I agree, this is absolutely hillarious..

 

[GIMH]

Drogba is behaving how fans behave when their team get shafted by the ref, quite amusing. He'll cop a big fan and fine, and I'll cop some stick for this, but I don't mind at all the way he's behaved at the end of the game, people complain that footballers are devoid of passion, well there you have it

You may find this in poor taste, but my mate's FB status in response to this news:

See that Arsenal fan who killed himself last night? What a *****. Should try being a Tranmere fan.



Anyways, poor Chelsea. Feel sorry for them, honestly. That's one of the biggest screwjobs I have ever, ever seen.

Genuinely shocking. Before the game I'd have settled for a Barca win simply because I didn't fancy another Chelsea vs Man Utd final, but they didn't deserve to the systematically cheated. Even worse than the moron in charge of last night's game.

It seems that Souness agrees with me.

Richard Keys quickly stepping in and protecting Sky legally

Nor me. I don't think I could have taken my team being screwed by decisions as appallingly bad as that and not lose it, either.

Slightly related, so many Chelsea fans to make cry tomorrow.

AWTA.

A shame that sport at such a high-level has to be ruined by an individual's incompetence.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Obviously the players shouldn't behave like they did, but one can't help but sympathise. How was that Pique handball not a penalty?!? Ref was about five yards away too.

Video technology has to come in. Can't just say "it's part of the game" anymore. Team's season has been ruined because of an official's incompetance.

 

[grecian]

It was bad enough, that you do start thinking fix. Wouldn't be surprised if there was court action.

Still can't be sorry for Chelsea, but then I am a cold-hearted **** when it comes to big clubs......

I've screamed blue murder at much less blatant decisions not being given in the past. i imagine we will still see this referee in next season's CL. I wonder how much he earned tonight to knock Chelsea out of Europe?

 

[Uppercut]

Geez, i didn't expect this extent of pro-Chelsea feeling. None of the Chelsea fans i was watching it with thought they were cheated at all, and Anelka's dive was pretty shocking.

I wouldn't have minded a Chelsea win because i'd fancy our chances moreso against them than Barca, but i can't agree that they deserved a win. Only one team tried to play football for 180 minutes (+3).

 

[GIMH]

Sky just played us Drogba's rant and forgot to bleep the ****

 

[Pothas]

Feel for Guss Hiddink, cause he is a class manager but as for the Chelsea themselves don't really care much at all and a Barcelona v Man Utd final is an excellent prospect.

Doesn't explain giving Abidal a major smeller though.

Meh, who cares how teams try and play? You win by scoring goals and Chelsea should have had at least 3 penalties which would have enabled them to score enough goals to beat Barcelona. Chelsea weren't gonna beat Barca by trying to match them for creativity and flair, the way they went about it was 100% correct. Chelsea should be in the CL final purely on the basis that there were blatant penalties not given.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, that was a bad decision, outweighed by about five shockers in the other way.

 

[GIMH]

The more I see Pique's handball the more I can't understand how it wasn't given

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Tom Henning Ovrebo undoing a lot of Vimes's good work in advancing the Norwayanese cause this evening, tbh.

Oops.

UEFA should have learnt after Terje Hauge's work three years ago that Norwegian refs aren't up to scratch.
