im a chelsea fun but chelsea shud have scored more than­ 1 against barca coz 1 goal is not enough to win a game­ or seal the game if chelsea had scored in second half­ barca would had relax and not attack coz they willl­ think its over but i hope man u win im not sayin manu­ coz barca beat us well barca are a good team to be­ honest

I am a Chelsea fan and as far as the game is concerned­ the strikers did not put in the effort and wrap up the­ game without worrying about the ref and his­ controversial decisions. Barca deserve to go to the­ final as they scored what they needed too and Chelsea­ knew that and ran that risk throughout the game. My one­ big comment though is that Chelsea and the players will­ get bans and fines and the ref will be put to needless­ worry because refs cant cope. Football is such a fast­ game now and if you want the best refs at these maches­ you need a bigger pool of refs and to get that they­ need help so lets have video evidence and take away the­ mistakes that blight our game.

MARK CLATTENBERG - MERSEYSIDE DERBY - 20th October­ 2007

Look it up!

these howlers by refs are made sporadically. its not­ throughout the match. what mistakes ovrebo did was­ through the whole match. so that alone takes the cake­ for the worst referee ever. and how the hell did uefa­ even gave him a licence. granted the persecution he­ received from chelsea was emotional and shameful. but­ as a shrink, he DID brought hell upon himself. and why­ didnt his 2 assistants correct his mistakes? too shy? 1­ or 2 mistakes was forgivable. but mistakes after­ mistakes? in my opinion, he got paidoff by 3 parties:­ chelsea, barca, and platini.

chelsea paid him: abidal­ got sent off.
barca paid him more: all legit penalty­ claims waved away.
platini paid and threatened him: be­ 'smart' abt your licence cos you are going to­ the world cup.

ok these are just fictional. but i­ strongly suggest that uefa start sanctioning refs &­ officials for poor and appalling decisions. if teams­ are responsible for their conduct on & off the­ field, why refs and his assistants get away with it? no­ fines/bans.. in that way, they'll start consulting­ every officials if they're in doubt or have reasons­ to doubt.

im no fan of either team. man utd all the­ way.. but for this match, i say

football 0 officials­ 4.

drogba is the personification of foul play and should­ be punished. the chelski fans feel wronged, but so did­ the fans of the other teams in the prem who have been @­ the recieving end of the divers wrong decisions which­ are a blight on the english game. PUNISHMENT is long­ overdew.
lfc should be in the final with man u if he­ would have been carded for his acting.

i am a fans for both chelsea and barcelona,so which­ team go through i would be happy.
however,i still have­ to say something bout the referee.maybe everyone is­ judging chelsea with their old record of diving,like­ drogba, malouda, anelka...yes they dived,so whats the­ point?
is it means u should have discrimination on­ their team even when they palying good? giving penalty­ only after considering their record?
what is this, this­ is not a mathematic question we answering here,this is­ sport,the referee should have act more better in this­ game.2 wrong never equal to a right!
maybe 4 claim of­ penalty would be harsh,but at least there is 1 really­ shold have given.and giving out red card for abidal is­ another bad decision,which is too harsh.
maybe u guys­ not supporting my thoughs here, but what i write here­ is based on this match referring,worst referee?nah if­ there is a rating , i would give him 3 out of 10.
maybe­ the fifa given the referee too much power, as he acting­ like a god on the field,and some matches could really­ be ruined by them.and i think even he knows he wrong­ bout the decisions he made on the field, he still­ wouldnt appologise,have u ever seen ur boss say sorry­ to the workers? hahaha
i am from malaysia,sorry bout my­ lousy english

refree ovrebo surely must have taken millions of­ dollars to throw the game....worst refree ever!!!!

Drogba should be suspended for next years champions­ league.

Terry
Lampard
Alex
Cech
Ballack

should­ also be punished but not suspended for all of next­ years champs league .
maybe a 3 match ban .

barcelona is are the teanm in the WORLD...

ballack,
drogba,
terry,
alex ,
is a disgrace,i­ can't believe it

england vs t & t england under pressure cant­ score until david crouch grabs hair to rise above much­ shorter defender to score england eventually won 2-0

what about all the cr@p ref decisions C. Ronaldo always­ seems to conjure up. stupid bumfu*k

One i remember was the Italy - scotland qualifier at­ hampden for euro 2008. 1-1 was the score, if scotland­ scored, they would go through, but italy had­ possession. then a shot was taken and recoiled away­ after a save, alan hutton collected the ball but was­ charged and rugby tackled by one of the italian­ players. Hutton was sent straight to the ground and­ everyone thought freekick to scotland. But... the ref­ and linesman both thought it was a foul the other way.­ they gave a freekick to italy right in the middle of­ the space between the corner flag (right) and penalty­ box. it was then crossed in a lead to a goal...­ scotland out due to a spanish referee's very poor­ judgement...

look people if you were refs you'd see how hard it­ is so give them a brake we're all human and plus­ youyu make more mistakes in a game as a player than a­ ref does in that game so stop giving the refs abuse or­ else you'll lose them and lose the game what i­ think nobody wants

The graham poll 3 yellows the true story:

On his cards­ he has 1 side per team so he put the number of the­ player down on one side then accidentaly put it on the­ other as well. The 4th offical had noticed the mistake­ (so it is 1/2 his fault) but thought as poll is so­ senior he must be right and I must have made the­ mistake

The offside:
The linesman should of kept his­ flag up and buzzed Poll as soon as Kewell touched the­ ball or after the goal went in

there was a game in argentina where the ball went out­ play and ball boy put it into the back of the net and­ it was allowed - classic

there was also the sol­ campbell goal disallowed in france 98 for­ nothing

collina performance in everton vs villareal­ where if everton had won it would of been 5 english­ teams in champions league more anti english from thatt­ t@ blatter.

I am 65 years old, In all these years I have seen­ many..many..football games
many mistakes by the­ Refs,and unjustice decissions by many of them. But­ nothing
has matched the ignorance of the Ref. In the­ finals of the World Cup in England
in 1966. Was it­ ignorance, or a favor to the English Team...??? If We­ consider
that the Ref. was Scotish. Sorry....But it has­ hapenned many years ago, and yet
now and them, many­ fans still talk about the "DESASTROUS" Ref.­ against Portugal.
It was ..Pure and simple...One more­ player on the English Team , with a lot of
power to­ make the wrong decissions, allways in favor of England.­ Eusebio alone
was enough to beat de hell of the Inglish­ Team, but the Ref. was there to stop it.
So...You win­ some and loose some. That is the way it's go.
