  2. 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.

  3. 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,

  4. 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!
