UEFA Champions League/Europa League 12/13/14 April *** Spoilers ***

God you talk some drivel.

Did you watch the game? Did you not see it when Nani got booked for diving and then a slow motion replay was shown of him going down with absolutely no contact made?

How did the Torres incident go unnoted? He was booked for it and rightly so. United fans are hardly ones to talk. Rooney has been on a right diving mission as of late, the one against West Ham was one of the worst I've ever seen...oh and the one at Stamford Bridge in the league.

As already covered, the drivel is not pouring from my side.

The Torres incident>S< makes accusations firstly hypocritical as you are accusing a player of the activities one of yours blatently carries out, even putting the fact that the player in question is completely innocent aside (unless you define going to ground with anything less than a shattered pelvis a 'dive' that is).

They also secondly reduce your point further as if you remember correctly, if both of Torres' blatent dives were booked as they should be by the word of FIFA, then you are looking at one less player on the pitch two weeks ago.

And frankly you were lucky to only have one sent off today - Chelski's battle plan against United and the other big teams has always been be physical, it's just depending on their form this either amalgamates in Chelsea using their presence to dominate or Chelsea just flat-out fouling constantly.

Tonight was the latter.

Chelsea were not robbed of that in the slightest. Best team went through over two legs. The terry yellow was soft and I thought that the ramires one was a touch soft as well for the red but chelsea did nothing to make you think they deserved it more.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Aided by poor performances by European Referee's in the CL. Like clockwork. Chelsea weren't robbed like the Barca game of 2 years ago but there were certainly some major decisions that didn't go our way.

P.S If I could stab the word 'butthurt' in the face, I would.

Which game you reffering to? 1st leg were the ref didn't send off balack and give a penalty to barca or the second leg?

 

[guyfawkes5]

From the replay I saw I couldn't see any contact. I'll have to try and watch it again but doubt I'll get the chance. Looked like a blatant dive to me.

If you're talking about when Nani slipped in between the two Chelsea defenders, one of whom was Terry, then yes there was contact even though Terry tried to unsuccessfully remove his leg just before contact.

 

[sunnysingh]

Why would he be? He has played one game since being out for months? You think he should be playing in what was Chelsea's biggest game of the season just because he played well on Saturday?

Why bring on Paulo Ferreira when Chelsea had to score 2 goals ? Woudnt yossi been the best bet. His got a creative side to his game. Something to unlock Utd defence. You might as well throw your attacking players on, when times running out and you've got to score goals. So what if his been out for months, rio was also out and his first game back was at the 1st leg. Everyone on here would agree that he played brilliantly. You have to be bold at times to get places.

 

[guyfawkes5]

Actually yeah, has Gustov even lambasted the manager or his 'master' yet?

You've got to deem at least something to be up when even opposition supporters are wondering about the decisions they made prior to and during the game?

 

[Tom84]

what I can't stand is just blatant diving.

You mean like this?

 

[guyfawkes5]

A technique he perfected at Anfield.

 

[Shamikebab]

That gets better every time I see it, it's the head flick that does it for me. He should be in a shampoo commercial, not on a football field.

 

[Gustov]

You mean like this?

Yes.

 

[Gustov]

I assumed you meant Yossi should have started. I have on idea why he brought Ferreira on. Baffles me.

 

[Gustov]

Which game you reffering to? 1st leg were the ref didn't send off balack and give a penalty to barca or the second leg?

Yes let's bring up 1 potential penalty decision when Chelsea should have had 3 BLATANT penalties at home, 2 debatable ones and Abidal should have been off the pitch after 20 mins and conceded a penalty for quite literally kicking Drogba to the ground and then yanking his shirt. I see your point entirely.

I don't really care anyway, why get into specifics? That game was yonks ago. I was just using it as a point of reference.

Anyway, got to be up at 6:30. Well played United and congrats to their fans. The better team over two legs.

 

[BaZ87]

He clearly accidently tips over himself but....

 

[DanH84]

Anyway, I thought Ancelottie showed a certain degree of tactical cowardice tonight, particularly with his substitutions. Shouldn't have gone like for like with the strikers and then shouldn't have brought a fullback on when chasing 2 goals.

 

[CliffyBiro]

I thought Drogba was much more of a threat tbh and caused a few problems.

 

[BaZ87]

I assume his idea with the Ferreira sub was to try to get out wide and put crosses into the box for Drogba as they were having no luck going through the middle of the pitch.

 

[Shamikebab]

He clearly accidently tips over himself but....

I'm speechless

 

[DanH84]

was crap though, even if you say that it's fair enough to get torres off as he did nothing, I'd have put money on the fact that if we'd been in their position we'd have been bringing on forwards for defenders and shifting other players out wide if needed. It was too conservative, like I said earlier, they took it to us for the first 25 minutes but after that they were pretty well contained.

 

[Gustov]

I assume his idea with the Ferreira sub was to try to get out wide and put crosses into the box for Drogba as they were having no luck going through the middle of the pitch.

But why bring him on over Bosingwa? Not only is Bosingwa better, he is an attacking full-back. Ferreira is just pony at everything.

 

[fez]

I'm speechless

That gif stalled a bit when loading and it looks horrendous in slow motion, shocker of a dive. You don't flick the head like that unless you are play acting either. 2 - 0 up as well. Shame on you torres!
