Boo. If Lampard could shoot straight, Essien wouldn't have scored and Juventus would still be up front. And nobody should argue about Drogba's free kick that didn't or did go in cus Tiago didn't handle the ball and the free kick shouldn't have been given in the first place. But that whole situation late in the half gave Chelsea life damn it.

And Anelka sucks.

I guess Abramabitch uses his billions to pocket some referees now.

Tiago's phantom hand ball
Cech handles the ball out of his area, no red card instead gets a yellow for a phantom foul he didn't commit
Phantom foul from Chiellini on Drogba leads the referee to issue a phantom yellow leading to a, wait for it, yes PHANTOM red card
Not to mention every break was given to Chelsea

Chelsea didn't just have the numerical advantage after Chiellini was wrongfully sent-off. No, they started the game a man up.

The better team was eliminated. Anyone who tries to justify Chelsea deserved to go through is delusional.

Is it really hard to use instant replays in game? Refs already wear headsets so they can communicate in real time. Just stick somebody in the booth who reviews the action in real-time and let him communicate in real-time to the ref.

And I don't like to be that person who sticks it to the ref anytime something goes wrong for my team because lets be honest, the ref has a hard job. However, today, it is justified. When a ref makes a couple of minor mistakes, or even just one major one you can let it slide because you have to be reasonable and give the ref some kind of margin of error to work with, especially considering the ref has very little help considering the technology that is available today to assist in making decisions no one would get right at the first glance. But when you make two or three huge mistakes that influence the outcome of a game beyond the point of no return, you have to look in the mirror and question if you have the credentials for this job. If I was today's ref, I would want to ask myself that question. Hopefully, the officials at UEFA will review the calls from today's game(they won't, but I remain optimistic) and bar this ref from officiating anymore in this year's CL.

While I agree, I don't think it would have matter much as we just sucked overall but yes those calls indeed did not help us

Chiellini wasn't sent off for the tackle on Drogba. He was sent off because he bad mouthed the ref. Anyway, he could have picked up a second yellow plenty of times but the ref bottled it.

A golaie handling the ball outside the area is not a red card offence, unless it stops a certain goal being scored. The ref gave Juve a free kick for handball, which is correct.

The better team went through. Thats what TWO legs are for, so your team has TWO attempts to qualify. Juve failed twice not once.

Technology in football would have given Chelsea Drogba's goal, from his free kick that DID cross the line. It works for both teams.

You win some decisions and you lose some. Thats football. The ref was sh!t to be sure, but he certainly wasn't on our side tonight. He was simply crap.

I'll pull a Wenger and say I didn't see Chiellini bad-mouth the ref, honestly. My first impression, and many others would say, was that he was retroactively sent off for the tackle he made. But if it was for badmouthing, I guess I'll concede you can't argue for that.

A goalie handling the ball outside the area is not a red card offence, unless it stops a certain goal being scored. The ref gave Juve a free kick for handball, which is correct.

I'll admit I'm not a walking rulebook, but handling the ball outside your area is inexcusable and careless on the part of a goalkeeper. It should be a red card, just for sheer stupidity on the part of a goalkeeper.

Juve failed once(barely) and were screwed once. Chelsea played a little better in London while Juve were clearly the better side in Torino.

Technology in football would have given Chelsea Drogba's goal, from his free kick that DID cross the line. It works for both teams.

Technology in Football would have never awarded that freekick that led to the debatable goal because Tiago chested the ball. He most certainly didn't handle it. It works for both teams. More specifically, it would have worked much more for Juventus tonight. That disallowed freekick that should have never been awarded sparked Chelsea into life. It was all Juve before that.

You win some decisions and you lose some. Thats football. The ref was sh!t to be sure, but he certainly wasn't on our side tonight. He was simply crap.

Unfortunately. What's even more unfortunate is that the horrific decisions could have been prevented using simple and real time video technology.
