Comment 1 - 7 of 7
comment 6 its madrid and chelsea with man city who are turning this wonderful game into bull@#$% with their unreal money. so stop crying
UEFA don't want all English final,that was why the ref ignored all the penalties. UEFA is now turning football into politics and its killing the love of the game.
Pls let know what punishment the ref got.
If Karl Marx was not given to Satanic ideas, he would have stated that "football (not religion) is the opium of the masses." Which other event would cause grown-up, able-bodied men to weep and fight? And as has been pointed out, the game has no ennobling characteristics - like Basketball, which teaches its adherents to throw banana peels into waste buckets without hitting the tired, sweaty traffic warden at the road junction. But still when the football whistle blasts, we come running after it like the kids of Hamelin ran after the Pied Piper.
Psychologically speaking, referee Tom Henning Ovrebo, who officiated in the Chelsea vs Barcelona match, did his best. It was curious for anyone to expect more from a man trained to look into and analyze the inner turmoil of men, and not be inordinately concerned with the outward movements and gestures of the body. The man is a psychologist and a very good one at that!
He has been widely lambasted for ignoring penalties due Chelsea and he has even had death threats because of what the world considers to be biased officiating. The outrage is so widespread, the irate Chelsea fans fail to know is that Ovrebo did not fail to award the disputed penalties to Chelsea because of a UEFA conspiracy to stop two English teams from meeting in the final. Rather he did this because, unlike the players, who looked at the outward displays and horrendous tackles, he probed into the minds and souls of the players and their intentions. The word "psychology" is derived from the Greek words, "psyche" (soul) and "logos" (study of). And he put his profession to practice in the field of play.He knew that the players who handled the ball did nothing wrong from a psychological point of view. Deep in the inner recesses of their (players') troubled minds, the ball-handling players thought they were using their legs - a pardonable offence in psychology. It is normal, as your grandmother should have told you,
Drogba just reacted to a clear case of robbery by a slip-shod refree who destroyed the joy of the game by his unprofessional conduct.If Ovrebo was not mandated by FIFA to ensure that two English teams do not meet in the finals, then he should be sanctioned.I am afraid that if this kind of unethical conducts from refrees continues, a refree would be shot by an irate fan not even a player!
i respect drogba as a stricker than a wrestler.and aiso john cena as a wrestler than a footballer.what he did is wrong and i thing he owes his fans an apology.
