well sure they need some kind of excuses for the board and fans...some explonation...but i watched the game , its bull*hit ...yes there was some bad referiing and Ballack should have been sent off but so should have Puyol..so if there were bad decisions they were across the board and against them equally
yes they were phisical the english but that is the english play, they knew this, i saw a million pres releases where the barca players were saying they know that it will be a phisical match and are prepared for it but that they are superior in their technical abilities and that la liga is superior technically to the premiere ligue and will overcome the english....
i watched the game, the english locked em down perfectly, and Barca played with 3 Strikers !! (3 of the best strikers in the world all in the same team !!)..Messi wasent allowed to do anything..I told you Hidding is brilliant, knows what he needs , how to get it , and gets it....its no secret English play the long ball up front alot ..but hey it works fir them..Spanish can sitt there and brag all day about how they build up from the back and they are superior passers etc...but it means jack s*it if they dont score
honestly i am a neutural specator...there was faults on both sides, they were both phisical, bad decisions against both...at the end of the day Barca couldnt beat em..no excuses
it always seems so unfair and so big to the team who dont get the result they expected, but from neutural view..it wasent that unfair..as i said there were mistakes there always are without the video referee, but not that bad and not just against Barca..
and they crying that Chelsea didnt wanna play ? give me a brake, they were the away team, they dont have to play..they have to try and survive so that they can play at home..surely Brca arew familliar with this tactic, its nothing new... u have to be an idiot to go to barcelona and start attacking unconciously and leaving your defence open to Henry, Messi, and Eto lol
Barca might as well cry that Chelsea didnt let them win

thanks mate..interesting read
I got to say i do feel a litlle simpathy for the chelsea players there were some poor refering decisions and ofcourse since they are not going on to the final it affects them the most..
i dont think it was a contreversy but they feel it the most cause of circumstances...brings me to the same question i been asking for about 10 years
why ? why do we even put ourselfs in this position ? the biggest, most passionate game in the world where everything relies on every single litlle referee decision..
why do let one guy carry all the blame and allow people to feel like they been cheated when we could use a video referee ? we have every single angle filmed ..allready setup..noone would dispute it if u had 5 replays from 5 diff angles and then referee has the power to make or change his decision..
I am tired of hearing ...thats footbal, its part of it...no thats not football, football is what goes on on the pitch before the wistles.. thats the human error that it was allowed to go on because our technology wasent then what it is now..
if they gonna sitt around and allow silly romanticism of "its part of the game" why even have a referee if you not interested on the absolute fairset decision ?
is it just for show ? because if you were interested in the absolute fairest decision posible you would do everything possible to provide that enviorement
they cannot see every angle, close up, slow motion and in replay no matter how good they are..
its another example of european old stubborn thinking that is getting in the way of better and fairer results
is good enough for many other sports its not good enough for us
its fustrating, wel be here 10 years from now asking the same question after 20000 more teams miss out on finals, medals , etc..whatever because they keep saying " its part of the game"
btw..i am not saying chelsea was ripped off, I am a complete neutural.. i still think Barca deserved more to be in the final..but there was some questionable refering, and this is a semifinal of the biggest club competition..if u lose u dont want it to be on questionable refering..if uefa are looking for someone to blame for the players behaviours after the game they should look in the mirror, emotion, pasion is normal human behaviour..the bigger the stakes the higher the stres, passion
u ask people to be ambitious and driven and pasionate, give it everything to get there but then u expect them to just turn in 3 seconds when they feel like they have been wronged..it takes a year of super hard work and training and planing and injuries to get to the semifinals...it is their lifes, its not just a game..its their contracts, oportunities, pay, future..
expecially since their faith changed so dramatically in the last seconds of the game..imagine...one second u going to the final ...next you are out...that would run your emotions high enough on its own now add questionable referiing makes it ..mulitiplie that by 10...ref is lucky he didnt get hitt or touched
we ask this man to be our supper heros, emotional machines against stress pressure, never give up, always deliver.. but we forghet that at the end of the day they are no different to us emotionaly
Uefa sets up all this kind of behaviour every time they stubborn up againt technology helping us make better decisions
