Chelsea skipper Terry wins Barcelona admiration
I love this whole Drogba thing!!
It just shows these fuckers in their true colours.
I’ve not laughed as much since my Granny caught her tits in the mangle.
hahaha class
The Dogbreath has been wanting referee’s to make the wrong decisions throughout his career with his diving and feighning injury. So why behave like an uncivilised imbecile when the ref does exactly that?
John Terry, gentleman haha, fuck me Barca are easily impressed!
you should have put the lehmann drogba clip in it
Any sympathy I had for them cunts when Barca scored disappeared soon enough with their behaviour at full time. Glad they got fucked over now!
Lads! What comes around goes around!… Id have rather Barca nicked it with the final kick of the ball but without the ref handing it to them.
i still feel it is discusting that a referee so poor was given the champions league semi final to ref!!..he could have been our bloody ref!
I hate chelsky and Tiny Tears, do respect lamps tho think he is quality and deserves respect! Drogba is an arse! and so on!
if in this day and age referees can be choosen to ref matches and end up getting so much wrong in one match something is wrong!
All i keep saying is if it had of happened to us we would have all went nuts!
Although thinking about it! Would you not have loved Mourinho to be in charge! Now that would have been interesting!
Just heard Chelsea shall not be punishing him. Which should surprise me but… nope.
I’m getting fed up of hearing words like ‘passion’ and ‘adrenaline’.
Hows about ‘professional’ or maybe ‘role-model’.
Drogba and Chelsea will never realize quite how ironic the words ‘its a fucking disgrace’ have become. Bunch o’ c#%t$!!!
Did the ref really have such a bad game? If you can stomach Robbie Williams (or have a mute button), the key decisions are at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeJM2rqGI9g&feature=related:
(1 – not shown). Malouda is obstructed inside the penalty box, though the fouling started outside – it’s either an indirect free-kick just inside the penalty box (for the obstruction) or a direct free-kick just outside (for the fouling), and the ref chooses the latter (presumably as it’s to the attacking team’s advantage. Verdict: FREE-KICK, not a penalty.
2. Abidal gets a split-second fistful of shirt, Drobga goes down for the count – penalty or dive? Even in slow mo it’s hard to say, though Drogba does seem to fall rather easily and, well, we’ve kind of seen it all before – though given Drogba’s spasms a few seconds later we can’t rule out medical causes, either. Verdict: DIVE or EPILEPSY.
3. Drogba is robustly challenged and tackled by Toure, appeals for a penalty and then instinctively flops to the ground where he again suffers a seizure.Verdict: FAIR TACKLE followed by DIVE and EPILEPSY.
4. Anelka and Toure tussle in the box, Anelka gets muscled off the ball and slides head first onto the turf and Toure also finds it mighty hard to stay on his feet. Verdict: ROBUST BUT FAIR CHALLENGE followed by SLIPPERY PITCH SYNDROME.
5. Anelka plays the ball past Pique and the ball hits his hand – the replay suggests the handball wasn’t intentional, but his arm was extended so it’s a penalty. However, as can clearly be seen in the reel (at about the 2.29-2.30 mark), at the exact moment of the handball the ref has up to 4 players (Pique, Anelka + two Barca defenders) obstructing or disturbing a clear view, so he can’t make the call. Verdict: PENALTY but the referee doesn’t have a clear view so TOUGH TITTY.
6. Ballack’s shot hits Eto’o's body at the junction between his shoulder and his arm, the referee has a clear view and says no penalty. The replay suggests he got it right, though it’s a close call. Verdict: CLOSE BUT NO PENALTY.
So, as far as the penalty decisions go, I’d say the ref was 5 out of 6 with one clear penalty that he was obstructed from seeing, so what the hell they’re complaining about I don’t know – if they want to know what the mother of all blown penalty decisions looks like then they can check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJt0YdA6hiA
