Having been knocked out of 2 competitions this season by teams beginning with B, I bet Chelsea are relieved they play Everton in the FA Cup final

I dont think Chelsea are too pleased either with going out and with 10 man Barca, that really rubs the salt in the wounds.

Very lucky wasn't it, for Barca.

I don't think Chelsea should have had the 'three clear penalties' they're claiming (maybe one call was dubious), and the sending off of Abidal was odd. However it's evident that Barca just aren't the best in Europe. If it's down to all-round football rather than the results of this dodgy competition, they're probably just inside the top four (behind Chelsea, United and Liverpool). A couple of decent defenders (not midfielders pushed back into centre half a la Marquez & Toure) will make them a truly memorable side next year.

I really hope they win in the final, but I challenge their right to be there on merit. I think they're really going to struggle against United.

Now I saw them and there were definate penalties. the first handball incident was so blatant and stopped a clear opportunity on goal. Drogbas bringing down in teh area was clear with the shirt being pulled obvious to ref and linesman. The last one is given 95% of the time and defenders know that they can't go in with their arms up like that.

In all And I'm no Chelsea fan they were robbed by an incompetant ref and linesman.

However, I see Drogba and Ballack getting battered by the authorities for their outbursts and whoever on the BBC thought cutting to a clearly very upset Drogba with sound on wants sacking, what do they think he was likely to be saying " Oh deary deary me we are out?"

I think there is a lot of irony in Dogpoo suggesting the referee is a cheat. Karma works in mysterious ways

Don't get JB on about Karma again,,, PLEAAASSSEEEE!!!

I think the Refs the worst I've seen at top level footy, he got every major decision wrong including the sending off, but at least Platini has got his wish no all Prem final. Just a thought wonder what would have happened if that ref had been in charge of United and made a string of cock-ups against United, not worth thinking about really:rolleyes

an impression of Fergie

cashman · 07-05-2009, 09:57

one of the worst refereeing performances i ever saw, final should be interesting, bet hard faced fergie asks fer a good ref performance in it.

I can have no complaints...........The spoiling tactics worked in Barcelona but not at Chelsea.
Barca had 69% of the play with no ducking and diving.
Chelsea could not beat Barca in open play, why should they always (Not just this game) rely of the ref to give all decisions in their favour?
To my mind Barca won on merit and put in place a very good final match.

entwisi · 07-05-2009, 11:00

how can 1 shot on target be on merit?

The game is not about fancy footing it about in mid field. Its about kicking it into teh goal . Barca were abysmal in the last third and the 1st third.

Quite simply Chelsea could have come away from that game 6 - 1.
