Its best decision. Football has grown to more than a­ game. Its our life now. The final will be carefully­ officiate dbecause of the noise now. To compensate, man­ U will win. UEFA will fine Chelsea and ban Drogba for­ the group stages. Dats all after dat nothing will­ change. Platine should be booted out of UEFA. He has­ not developed UEFA.

The whole world witnessed the Chelsea fiasco and UEFA­ are clearly the loosers as the quality of cheating or­ game fixing was there for all to see. I am not a­ Chelsea fan but watch sport for enjoyment however­ seeing a team stitched up in the way Chelsea were makes­ me question the value of football as a sport. JOIN ME­ AND START WTCHING RUGBY at least you will not be paying­ for tickets to games where the result has already been­ predetermined. I dont think Barcelona needed to waste­ the airfare travelling to win that one UEFA could have­ simply given the game to them without the mismatch­ being played.

If UEFA fail to introduce video then some official will­ be certainly killed for his mistake and UEFA will not­ be able to extract themselves from having blood on­ their hands. Please introduce technology before­ someone pays the ultimate price after which you will be­ forced to introduce it.

Passion was high with the­ ridiculous ref performance at Chelsea and I fear­ reprisal if Chelsea or their players are punished. UEFA­ should let this one go on the bases that the punishment­ was a wholly unfair exit from the competition. If club­ or players are punished then so fshould the referee be­ as he clearly brought the game into disripute. Oh for­ the record I am not a Chelsea fan but simply a fan of­ football. Football lost on that fateful night of­ incompetence, hate or love Chelsea every club is­ entitled to play by the rules and any fan whos team had­ suffered such an awful result would feel as passionate­ as the Chelsea bunch. COME ON UEFA WAKE UP BEFORE­ SOMEONE DIES FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A GAME

Video aid is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY - now!

Thank you UEFA for the stupid ref.u must consider video­ ref now.

Football surpose to be won by merit not by UEFA­ instructing the ref the team they want to win, they­ (UEFA) stoped the ref from making a comment or­ apologising to the whole world uptill now for what he­ did.The football governing body will not allow vidio­ ref becaouse they will not have the chance of their­ corupt and political actions

We have this in tennis... the player is allowed to make­ 3 wrong appeals per set, and the replay is shown to the­ entire stadium.

However, in football, it should be­ only the captain of the team, or the trainer who calls­ the appeals, and there should only be 2, because 3­ would be too many per half.

Of course, the ref would­ still decide... but, it would be more fair: imagine­ Tottenham - Man Utd with this, or Chelsea-Barça

I quite agree with the coach. I remember very well that­ Wenger made similar demand from UEFA in the past and­ this has pitched him against Platini. I think there is­ a case of insincerity in UEFA. For those anti-Chelsea­ guys who see nothing good in the coach's­ suggestion, well, their fear was that they were well­ aware of the fact that under Chelsea's current­ coach, it would have been a bad day for Man United if­ they were to meet the Blues in CL's final. They are­ therefore happy that they avoided Chelsea in the final.­ They are all hypocrites, with a lot of referees­ decisions favouring Man U even when it was clear that­ the decisions were wrong i.e penalty againt Bolton when­ Ronaldo dived but no noise or complain.

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? THE INSTANT REPLAYS ARE­ SHOWN(OH! MANY TIMES, SO MANY ANGLES!) TO THE VIEWERS­ BUT CANNOT BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE REFEREES? PROTESTS­ OR APPEALS CAN BE LIMITED TO 2 PER TEAM PER GAME AND­ THAT WOULD BE IT. THE TECHNOLOGY IS ALREADY THERE. THEY­ USED IT IN THE LAST WORLD CUP, REMEMBER THE "HEAD­ BUTTING" THAT THE OFFICIATING REFEREE DID NOT­ NOTICE BUT WAS "REPORTED" BY ANOTHER­ "REFEREE" LIKELY SITTING IN FRONT OF AN LCD­ SCREEN?

That's right coach, but u could have asked uefa to­ sack that ref.

This to me seems a very good idea and has been­ suggested a long time ago and was never acted on. Being­ a chelsea supporter i agree we should be in the final.­ But the decision for a ref to go to video replay would­ ultimately rely on the ref, so we could all still be­ arguing the @#$% over a decision! especially if the ref­ decide's not to go to a video replay which­ leave's you back at square one! and as for Drogba,­ he IS a disgrace! video replay's if brought in­ could put a stop to this so it works both way's,­ but again, only if the ref makes the decision to take­ it to a video replay in the first place! slowly but­ surely the game is being ruined, it's no longer a­ game played with love and passion, but a window to­ exercise one's self importance and greed. very sad!

that is from the best manager in the world saying it as­ it is.you are absolutely right coach

FIFA could also adopt tennis' eye hawk. each team­ could, for example, challenge the decision 3-4 times in­ the whole matches.

Hiya Everybody !!!

Guus Hiddink's suggestions­ seems to be a very good idea to me.

But most of my­ friends who are way smarter than me (cos I'm a real­ dumb blonde, of which I am extremely proud of) tells me­ that it is unlikely UEFA would ever want to consider­ the use of video technology "bcos they then­ can't plant inexperienced referees into matches­ like Chelsea vs Barcelona and get away with­ it".

Anyway, I still don't understand what my­ friends were talking about. I had always hoped to have­ a smarter brain, guess it's just my good luck to be­ a dumb blonde :)

Ta Ta !!

make a rule
GET A SECOND CARD FOR DIVING AND MISS THE­ REST OF THE SEASON WITH NO WAGES
CHEATING @#$%S

The referees should clamp down on the divers and stop­ the play acting. Its seems to be more important in the­ game now to con the refs rather than to score a fair­ goal. Drogba is too easy to knock down for a big man­ and has a reputation for this. Lets get back to good­ hard football and rid the game of the cheats. By the­ way I am not a fan of either team, but I am a fan of­ football.

I think what happened at Stamford Bridge is what you­ see in local League in some places like Africa and­ Asia, I have never believed it will happen champions­ league, there is no fair play and is bad, this why the­ killed a referee in one village. UEFA is rubbish if­ they cannot organise the game for people to enjoy it, I­ my ticket to watch a game not an arranged game if not I­ rather stay at home a play a video game, they should­ UEFA president if he cannot control the game, they­ should remember that the whole world watched the game­ and have a thought if this is an a good example for­ those who are leaning from, them places like Africa and­ Asia

i agree with boss guus hiddink proposal to use video­ decisions technology. But the league should only limit­ 2 appeals in each game so that the game will not be­ delayed and they will only use it in critical moments.­ perhaps they can decide it in a few seconds just like­ appealing in basketball to the referees.I always watch­ soccer,and sometimes there are many wrong decision by­ the referees and there were many diving queens. if they­ use technology, perhaps all of these will be lessened.

It is better to just acknowledge you were beaten by a­ better team than yours, a team that played better­ football than your strategy of defence. Video or no­ video, managers like you have to accept defeat and­ accept that your defence policy against the best team­ in Europe did not work.
The referee did not get­ anything wrong, because you spend time crying over­ things that don't matter. 11 against 10 and you­ still went for defending against Barca. Video is not­ important and if you still have indigestion from that­ defeat, please you and your players (especially the­ "stars" of the "show") better seek­ medical advice.
