It's A F****** Disgrace

Anyone see Hiddinks interview very composed, intimated that Uefa didnt want two English teams in the final again. Very coosed and articulate.

Hes a class act.

Forget Drogba for a moment, its not about him.

Your career was to merely illustrate a point. We're all human at the end of the day, and passion influences all - regardless of title.

Ok, it just sounded like a jibe. Ok moving on.

I agree that the ref was shocking tonight and that Chelsea deserved one clear cut penalty (the handball) and one that they may have got (the freekick) and one that was not given because it was the merest of touches on Drogba's shirt which forced him to go down, and for some reason call for the physio.

Then the sending off which was basically Anelka cheating by clipping his own legs and going down, and getting another player sent off.

Yes I can understand why they kicked off at the end, but I think they are just going to be embarassed.

But let's say there was dodgy goings on, can it be proven, will it ever come out? No. It happens. It happens to all the clubs big or small. I'm sure Chelsea have had their share of favourable decisions against smaller clubs.

And I would agree.

Very dodgy tonight.

Ok. So let's say the ref was paid/instructed to ensure Chelsea don't go through.

How did he help Barca? Did he give them free-kicks softly? If he was trying to influence the result, why did he send off the Barca player?

He was just out of his depth.

Which, unfortunately for Chelsea, cost them a place in the final. Must be hard to take that.

Gus Hiddink basically has said that the ref cheated, and that Uefa have got involved with some underhand cheating.

Not in so many words, but that's basically what he is saying.

It would'nt be the first time UEFA where involved in underhand cheating against English teams. Remember Villarreal? Remember further back when they promised us we could enter the European Cup once the ban was lifted, a promise that they should have honoured seeing that we done nothing wrong and had the right to defend what we worked hard for. Sorry for raking up the past.

it's so tiring mate. The ref didn't cheat tonight to allow Barca through, he was just out of his depth. End of.
