    If the ref was Columbian, we would never see him again.

    IMO, there was at least 3 definate penalties...

    Can't honestly see how a ref and 2 linesmen can't see them

    Was just reading the comments section of article I posted from the website and I saw a pretty good comment which I wholeheartedly agree with:

    The last 1 I can see why it wasn't given a handball because it could have been easily mistaken for coming off the shoulder. But overall they can try and uverturn the result but they way the acted will see it stay as is.

    Even if they acted in a calm fashion, the result would NEVER be overturned. It just doesn't happen in football and definitely not with UEFA and FIFA.

    To be frank, it would also be quite unfair on Barcelona if the match had to be replayed. I could see their side of the argument too... but the referee's performance is the overwhelming factor, IMO.

    Yeah, will not be replayed, and would definitely be unfair on Barca if that was the case, i think they will just be told to move on and get over it, but not before the issue, and players involved are dealt with. Chelsea officials said that they will be getting rid of Drogba after his outburst.

    The referee was shocking but still I agree but what I'm saying is even if they had enough there to overturn the decision I don't think they will because of the way they acted when they lost.

    But this happens in football and sometimes even on the big stages. But overall Barca done a tramendous job to get there and deserve it.

    Except he barely even touched him, Anelka fell over his own feet.
     
  18. chris473 CJ Devonshire

    Yeah but still. Fact remains though that he felt contact and went down so the ref sent him off.
     
  19. McGrath JE McGrath

    he had to do something that made him look like he wasnt favouring barca.
