Starting XI
1st one was correct decision player is allowed to grab players shoulder a tiny bit but not excessive and the grabs in box werent sufficient enough to be called a penalty also that last suposed arm in face thats bollocks as you aw in replay maloudas face was way off camera so who the ****a re they to say if he had his arm in his face or not. Also if he was in box it was a small little footstep and it would be very harsh.
Also frankly i think ref saw the inital grab push outside the box and decided to see if there was an advantage and see if defender continues to grab push etc player which he did so he called it back.
also in my opinion if the player with ball is in the bo by a couple inches or friggin very barely in box why should a pk be called on such little contact thats total rubbish he was totally clear in bo where minor contact ok would warrant a pk. but giving a pk which si very debatable if player was in bo or nto in the replay was very barely in is being harsh correct decision was a fk on line.
2nd one is a 50-50 yes he had shirt but the shirt pull as you saw didnt slow drogba down at all and wouldn`t of made any difference if defender was or wasn`t grabbing shirt which in the box isn`t enough to warrant a foul then drogba falls down like the little bitch he is from no contact as you saw there a small shirt pull wont make you fall down.
oh and not only that GK would`ve saved it anyway as you can see drogba knocked ball to far ahead and gk grabbed it drogba didnt have remotely close to a clear scoring chance or denied one and that is biggest reason why ref didn`t call pk also cause of his reputation (and throughout the game he dived and faked injuries like he usually does) also that shirt tug was very minor it was clear but as a i said earlier didn`t impede drogba at all or at least enough to deny drogba a clear scoring chance.
3rd piques arm was there long before the ball was kicked so how can anyone say ti was deliberate it wasn`t like player kicked ball then pique moved his arm there his arm was already there long b4 ball was kicked then player kicked ball into his arm to try and get a penalty.
rule is if ball played the hand its not a pk and if hand plays ball its pk no matter what reason his arm was there it was there long before ball was kicked and clearly the ball hit the armo and not arm hit ball so therefore PK cant be called. Also it is a good strategy for defenders for that reason. 1. it makes it a little harder for opposing player to get past defender (not much though) you see defenders armos like that all the time.
2. i know its cheap but its LEGAL way to get away with a had ball you stick your arm out clearly b4 ball is kicked and if it hits your arm you mess up the play without giving away a pk as te ball hit his arm and not other way around Very cheap yes but smart.
So as the rules go no PK. doesnt matter what his intent was. the rule is ball plays hand no foul or pk hand plays ball foul or pk.
4th etoo was trying to turn his back to the ball and also when they turn there back to the ball they raise there arms like that to try to avoid ball hitting there arm not to intentionally stop ball with hands. you can tell if it was deliberate or not. he knew ballack was going to kick it so he tried to turn his back to it and get his arms as high as possible to avoid ball hitting his arm but ballack was to close and didnt have enough time and ball hit his arm. to eb fair etoo isnt sueprhuman and had very very little time to react.
NOt only that when that supposed hand ball happened it was 7 minutes into injury time when it was supposed to be only 4 so right when the ball was cleared to ballack final whistle shouldve been called. so as far as i am concerned Chelsea were lucky to even get that corner in first place. So they should be greatful to even get that corner chance.
To be fair i`ll say Chelsea Deserve 1 Penatly but all 4 definetly werent clear pks
Barca had a clear pk denied where it was massive shirt pulling and threw henry to ground that was WAY WAY to much shirt grabbing.
And also had Abidal Red carded for an Anelka dive which if ref wasn`t so gullible and believed anelkas super dive. Anelka would`ve been red carded for diving (cause if that was an actual foul defender wouldve been red carded)
Regardless Barca completly dominated possession and chelsea were lucky alves had a **** game with all those crappy crosses.
im not going to lie despite barcas possession dominance Chelsea has amazing chances to score goals (other than pk appeals) and i hate to admit deserved to win and go through.
Very lucky for barca it was only a matter of time b4 Barca capitalized on their possession domination and very lucky for them came last minute

. In refereeing on a decision it could be millions of opinions. but we must respect all of them. So, my opinion is: Penalty on Henry, no penalty on Abidal - Drogba, penalty on Pique 
I was not arrogant in the last post.
). He didn't intend to help anyteam. It's your mistake that you put a lot of pressure on him from the beginning.
