Chelsea vs Barcelona Post Match

[fernb8]

This thread, as the others will be as well, will be strictly moderated. Opposing fans are more than welcome to express their ideas and views but please consider the following

1. Would you want to read the same post under reverse circumstances- ie a Chelsea fan posting on your board after a Chelsea win.

2. Many Chelsea fans, nearly all in fact, feel agrieved- so let us vent a little and get some stuff our chest.

3. As with the other thread the infractions will be given as severe and not basic as this is an obvious sore subejct and you have been warned.

Lets try this again and although I may not be around to completely monitor this continually, I will be back later to take care of any problems and I will deal with them with the most severe infractions possible, including forum bans.

The only positive thing I can think of at the moment is that my skin is still rough from last years heartbreak.

Shit happens, the ref bottled calls that would have probably allowed us to wrap up the match. I'm upset, but I'm still keeping my head high.

I think the boys will be as well.

Keep that Blue flag flying high.

To UEFA, the ref, and Platini:

Good for him I say. I understand that they need to be professional and when we lose we need to take it like true professionals. but not like that, that was a disgrace. The players have every right to be upset like that

Hard luck Chelsea fans, the best team lost tonight.

The ref robbed you the win. atleast 3 clear penalties weren't called.

I'm really ready to tear someone's head off.

I'm gutted and I'm pissed. The ref was beyond horrible, he should never EVER officiate another game........EVER.

But like I said, I was surprised Hiddink didn't put Kalou on to look more dangerous on the counter. And also, if nothing but to steal time, why not make 1 or 2 more subs in added time. I can't understand that.

[yasik19]

fern, don't give out infractions, straight ban posters like the one above.

[sloppynachos]

I Thought the ref was Horrible.

Two of the biggest Clubs, Huge CL Semi Final, alot at stake, and they pull out some guy from the Norwegian League? WTF?

Where are UEFA "heavy weights"??

PS- Im going to do some stat searching right now. I think it'll be good for perspective, from both sides, to see the Full stats from Both games.

[komina12345]

I'm a Man U fan and I honestly wanted Chelsea to beat Man U (ironically)

Ha, the ref was a total wanker. You guys got robbed of a win and as a Korean fan, I wanted Guus to pull through.

But remember, don't blame Barca.

It's the retarded ref.

Thanks for letting us vent Fern. I was about to go kick somebody's cat, only I'm still in the office so you probably saved my career :)

Mighty upset at this point. Will be sore for a while but I'll recover in time. It is football after all and football is a cruel mistress who I'll never fully understand.

For my fellow fans and other posters I'd ask you not to reply to the trolls, your response makes them happy. Those with sock accounts will be found and have their main account switched off to, smart as they think they are. That is all.

A real sore one for you guys tonight.

We've all seen our team lose at one time or another over a questionable decision, but to have so many calls turned down in one game beggars belief. Admittedly a couple were half and half but at least three were as close to being stone wall as you can get.

I can't believe that the official is corrupt. Completely inept yes, but not corrupt. I think a bunker mentality took hold on him after he'd turned down the second or third shout. Got to the stage where any Barca player could have turned a net bound shot over the bar with a full palm and he'd still have been giving a corner and nothing else.

Not much consolation for you, but if there is any justice the only time this guy(the ref) will get near a CL game again is while he's sitting in front of his plasma in his house.

I didn't know that the Fester's had cable.

Uncle F can take his rotund retard of a cousin out back and tell him to play with a wood chipper for all I care.

Why do we always get jobbed with dodgy Scandanavian refs when UEFA need us out? Oh wait a sec, I just answered my own question.

Tell me about it. There's no words to describe how pissed off I am. I don't think I've ever been this pissed off. It would be one thing if we lost to a better team and we deserved to lose. But to lose because of a lousy ref.

There's no doubt that we missed some chances, for that we were unlucky. And yeah, maybe in hindsight, Hiddink maybe could have made another sub at the end, but honestly, i dont think we did anything wrong. And it doesnt change the fact that if the ref did his job right. We should have won the game at least 3-0.

It's funny this isnt the first time we got royally screwed by a ref against Barca, Anders Frisk screwed us in 2005 and got so many death threats he had to retire. Then again in 2006 there was that red card against Del Horno, another coincidence...he was also Norwegian.

so why is he reffing in the first place?

[SCP_16]

Totally fixed. How can you not see it? UEFA wants a Messi v. Ronaldo final. Simple.

That you did my friend.

[mshankb]

I've never been one for conspiracy theories. Seriously, never. But there are so many smaller things to go along with the ridiculous non-calls that make me wonder.

*No-mark ref from Norwegian league - no-one's gonna miss him when UEFA hand down severe punishment to appear uninvolved
*Sepp Blatter's consistent comments over the last few years
*TV audience pressures
*Michel Platini - nuff said
*The referee's actual performance, of course
*Hell, even Hiddink - an immensely mature, respectable, professional, experienced man - basically came out and called it a fix.

[yasik19]

This is going to hurt for a while. At least in the finals, all was fair and square, even though we lost on PKs. This loss hurts more b/c of the way it happened.

I also think Drogba was very frustrated at the end b/c he knew he should have put his chances away.
