Everyone is talking about Drogba and ballack, what of­ the refree, Ovrebo, he started it all, and i suggest he­ should be demoted to refreeing beach soccer tournament­ or homeless world cup tournament. He should not go­ unpurnished.

ballack a compleate fat cat, overated,cheating,nobody

What Drogba did can be done by any footballer that­ feels cheated during a match afterall he did not touch­ the referee,all these bust to emotions and the referee­ by now could have watch the play back of that match and­ see the blunder he committed,thereis ball to hand and a­ defender glaring used elbow to return a shot inside the­ box,he cant claim he didnt see it, anyway overabo or­ whatever they call him should know he is a disgrace to­ his country either norway or anywhere.you can ban those­ players not to play some certain numbers of match God­ will ban platini and the referee from a lot of good­ things that suppose come to them too,is too painful if­ you watch that match again and again they wanted to­ kill football watchers and this will not be possible­ becausea lot of people lost their lives after the­ match.

ONE THING EVERYONE MUST KNOW!!! CHELSEA IS NOT IN THE­ uefa ROTA FOR CHAMPION LEAGUE WINNERS (NON G14),­ THEREFORE ANY PLAYER BE IT DROGBA, BALLACK, TERRY AND­ LAMPSHOT THAT WANTS TO LIFT THAT TROPHY MUST HAVE TO­ LEAVE WEST LONDON BLUE. uefa

I think Drogba and ballack are very stupid,they played­ 10 players against 11 players and could not win the­ match,especially drogba had all the chance to score a­ clean goal but been a player that plays by chance ,he­ lost the opportunity and now he wants to blame the­ referee.

Ok, lets say i'm agree for ban or any restriction­ for this blue pair, they self control overwhelmed. Of­ course it will, it could happen to anyone if referee­ does so. But I also vote for banning or fining the­ referee the linesmen and the match referee officials­ (i.e commissars). And one more thing i wanted to Add,­ if Platini will be having his vote on baning or not, i­ would just ask him to remember his player days. He was­ perfect scorer and good footballer, i would ask him to­ put himself instead of Ballack, Drogba or any other­ player that face with this kind of injustice and it­ would have been definitely frustrated him and ruled out­ of control. I think he better think about adding two­ more linesmen and find some solution in such difficult­ foul cases.Things like in this game happened sop many­ times for last several years and so many teams suffered­ of that non-proffesionalism of the referees. Yes­ non-professionalism. This is a high class game and­ should have been ref'ed by more professional ref. ­ My personal opinion

I agree that Drogba and Ballack need to be suspended,­ but that should go for the referee as well. Banish him­ to the "Europa League" group stages and see­ if he repents. Maybe in a year or two he'll come­ back a better referee...

It is time to understand that not only do players bring­ the game into disrepute but referees do to. Without a­ doubt it was the referee who instigated the agravation­ on that night!! Yet all these so called football fans­ are so wrapped up in the dislike of Drogba that they­ are overlooking the fundementle cause. I am not a­ Chelsea fan but clearly see where the blame lies on­ this occassion. look at your own clubs and players and­ ask how they would have reacted under the same­ situation, I believe that many would have reacted in a­ similar way no matter who the players were. Its time­ for UEFA to bring in video before someone dies as a­ result of passion boiling over, UEFA can act now and­ avoid it but like most of europe they will do nothing­ till someone does die. WAKE UP UEFA the warning is­ there for all to see.

Mr poll. try taking another perspective and TALK ABOUT­ THE REFs. do you have any idea what caused the players­ to be so angry? THINK AGAIN MR POLL @#$%.

Apart from the obvious fact the Poll was a s**t Ref and­ a wa***rto boot why has no one picked up on the fact­ that the Barca players manhandled the ref when he sent­ their player off, who also took nearly 3 minutes to­ leave the field.Oh sorry that would detract from­ crucifiying Chelsea. When are we going to get used to­ the idea that that French T**T Platini doesn't like­ us English and can't stand the fact that we have­ the best teams in Europe.

apperantly there is one saint among us who is willing­ to throw the first stone. make yourself known prophet!

is this the same mr poll who is so anti chelsea ,who­ remembers the arsenal 2-2 draw at highbury when he let­ henry take a free kick without the use of his whistle­ the man talks out his rear end he just made up a load­ of @#$% after the game....the thing from tring the­ muppet

and don't forget. poll was best in england. now we­ have webby, fergie's godson.

how is a ban going to change anything? is going to­ erase the kids that you whinners are using as an­ excuse? or does it suit you for chelsea not to have­ drogba as perhaps that way they might lose and not be a­ threat to your teams? cuz either way, it doesn't do­ anything. i mean if uefa decides to punish players for­ their actions including drogba punish them for diving­ and cheating, i would totally support that. now­ that's something that teaches your kids the wrong­ things week in week out, players cheating, lying,­ diving continuously. but judging drogba because he used­ to f word on television? how many of you go to the­ cinema or watch tv shows and your kids are present? do­ you stop watching your favorite actor/ actress because­ they use the f word? because by that logic you­ sholdn't be watching teli at all. get real and get­ down from your high imaginary horses that you all are­ sitting. let him who is pure and without sin cast the­ first stone towards drogba. as far as uefa goes, they­ have far too bigger problems to deal with and drogba is­ the last on that list.

i predicted poll would serve a lifetime ban from fifa­ events after his 3 yellow cards blunder. i was spot on­ and poll was dead wrong. i have a feeling he will be­ dead wrong again, and I expect to be spot on about it.

The same G Poll who booked the same player THREE times­ at the world cup, and promptly got sent home for being­ useless... Why, oh why does he continue to spout his­ claptrap in the media? Pls Poll, shut up and retire­ gracefully...

This is great for EUFA who have the perfect excuse to­ deflect all attention from the real issue, which is the­ ref. Was the ref just plain and simply useless, weak,­ and incompetent or was there a higher influence of­ wrong doing? Whatever, EUFA are delighted that they­ have their "dream final". I hope it's 0-0­ after extra time and it gets decided on pens. Even­ Graham Poll and Mike Riley are better than that idiot­ from Norway!!!!
