Barcelona's penalty was a STONEWALL penalty. You cannot jump with you hands in that way. Clive Tyldsley is an arsepiece, "it was ball to hand". Aye Clive, that means someone can stand in a jumping-jack position and as long as someone boots the ball off their hands it's ball to hand. The rule is your hands have to be in a natural position, i.e. by your sides - not raised fucking vertical above your head!

Totally agree with all that, Players need to learn that nowadays you have to jump with your hands as close to your sides as you can get them or you are going to come unstuck to these sort of Penalties at some point in a Season.

Also on big nights like this in the CL the Commentary tends to become very biased ... although Andy Townsend did step in and say "If it had happened at the other end we would be screaming for a Pen, Clive" so fair play to him for that.

I also think that if Cech was held back in the same way Valdes was and Chelsea went out ... then they would be going bananas and calling the Spaniards "Cheats" and allsorts.


Guess its just your Luck .... sometimes it goes for your Team, and sometimes it doesn't.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Exactly, Andy Townsend however also claimed Carvalho "never touched" Valdes. :roll:

Maybe one day Mourinho will get through a tie without some sort of controversy...
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Chelsea thoroughly deserved it. The ability to dig into a game like that is an attribute true champions need. I have no idea why there were scenes with Ronaldinho and Rjiikard at the end of the game. ACCEPT THE FREAKIN LOSS. There was so much crap built up to this game with UEFA and Mourinho and Rjiikard about the refereeing. Do you guys want to cry about a decision to allow Terry's goal to stand. TO ME, it seems like we are equalling out the amount of poor refereeing at the Nou Camp. Drogba's sending off, Deco not being booked for diving like a bastard. 3-0 up, Barcelona looked like a disgrace, but credit to them, they took advantage of a terrible mistake by Paulo Ferreira(which by the way i still do not understand the shirt switching). Ronaldinho's world player of the year award was pretty justified by that second goal :p. Wonderful. Then came the dives. That just ruined it for me. Collina clamped down wonderfully and really i think held a fair game. There was not one Chelsea player I was not impressed by today. Everyone raised their game. John Terry, what more can we say about this guy. Hes just brilliant for a centreback,hes big, he can mark, tackle, header, and score goals, what more could you ask for? One of the worlds best centreback IMO. Chelsea thoroughly deserve it, and if you dont agree to that heres the scoreline for you 5-4. Luck is a part of football, in fact its one of the best parts, the part that introduces magical memorable moments. Seriously, game of the season for Chelsea, along with the 1-0 win at Blackburn and the 3-2 against Liverpool at the Carling Cup Final.

5-4 on aggregate

CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Well i think the aggresion shown by barcelona at the tunnel when the whistle blew was to do with the foul on valdes. First of all i thought there was nothing wrong but when i saw it from another angle i have to say it was definetly a foul.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Like you'd "ACCEPT THE FREAKIN LOSS" if it had happened at the other end. :roll: I won't repeat myself, because it's obvious you haven't even bothered reading what I said about the diving.

Re: Chelsea FC thread

Anyway it was an excellent win for chelsea and over the two legs i think that they deserve it. It was a very entertaining match with goals suspense and everything you would want in a match. Even a dodgy decision on terry's goal(although collina probably couldn't see it). Hopefully they can go along way.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

ClassicD, if Chelsea lost, Chelsea lost. However, if i have to remind you, Chelsea won.Joe Cole didnt dive! What are you talking about!?
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Great win, I was sure that something good would come up at the end! John Terry was all alone in the box, nobody marked him. I'm so happy for the club I support, go for the final!

It's very easy to say that now you won the game. :roll:

Joe Cole clearly dives moments into the second-half near the touchline at the Barcelona end, and Collina tells him to get up. All night when he went down no matter if it was actually a foul or not, he threw him arms up and made it look as bad as he could - see the pass Lampard plays for him near the very end when he won a free-kick.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Joe Cole was very hard done with the refereeing tonight. But hey, im not complaining:P.

Oh I never heard him say that mate, must've missed it ... There was definite CLEAR holding by Carvalho its not even a case of IF ... only answer can be Collina never saw it, surely ?


The other thing is I think the Co-commentators always end up getting Railroaded into agreeing with the main commentator for some reason, they don't ever appear to disagree on anything ? Let alone Game deciding decisions.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Yes it was a foul on Valdes, ill say it. But it doesent change a thing. And seriously, to me it evens out the poor refereeing in the previous leg.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Yeah but Argentina won by 2 goals, that goal didn't decide anything - a silly comparison. :roll:

You can put any angle you want on it - Chelsea's winning goal should not have stood. I am not saying they then would have went out, but there is an awful lot of heads in the sand here over this issue.

It doesn't change a thing? I think you'll find that goal won the match! :eh:

And enough with this first-leg crap, Barcelona played you off the park in that game too, they even scored for you!

First, I agree with Classic that it was definately a penalty and Clive Tyldsley is an arsepiece! :mryellow:

Secondly, I'd like to point out the the actual law regarding handball, just states "deliberatley handles the ball". But for me, that was a penalty.

Great match, shame I only got to see the first half :(. ITV at 11:30pm for me :mryellow: hehe.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Okay, what about the sending off of Didier Drogba, and what about his suspension for todays game? And what about the other countless blatant dives from the Barcelona players. And what about the fact that Beletti had no choice but to put it into his own net? Dont whine ClassicD, spread your opinions, but dont whine. The games over, face it.

Anyone find out what was up with Ronaldinho and Rjiikard?

Someone earlier said it comes down to luck sometimes, and this year its chelsea's. Last year it was the gunners. Things like Gerrard's header and then no foul today. But you still have to put yourself in the situation to win the game with a piece of luck, and the best teams do that. IMO Chelsea deserved the win for sticking around, creating chances and in the end they took one.

Now if only United could take their chances...but that's another thread... :)
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Cheers beachryan i totally agree, haha yeah i did see Ryan Giggs' shot across goal hit the post. And your totally right, luck is an integral part of the game.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

lol, take your head out of the sand. It's ten to 11 here, I know the game is over - it doesn't make what happened in it any less real. :roll: Drogba's sending off in the first game is open to opinion, as Gerd pointed out earlier in the thread that kind of challenge in Europe is an automatic booking.

I'm not whining, you're just talking a lot of shite!

"Ooh the game's over, face it" - no it's not, it runs forever, they're into the 1245th minute now.
"It doesn't change a thing" - yes it does, the world is all happy and sunshiney.

You don't half talk some amount of shite sulph. :roll:

And he doesen't call that whining :roll: Drogba should not have been sent off btw.
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

...we all know the rules of football! so, if puyol had scored and eto have done the 10000% ball in the second half, it has been clearly...but instead chelski made the goals...7 shot on target = 5 goals...

btw; why alex sub ryan ?
 
Re: Chelsea FC thread

Prof, the point I was making is that Chelsea's goal which shouldn't have stood is the one which decided the tie, Maradona's was not the same and so I don't see what the point is?

Sulph, when you stop making sweeping statements like "The game's over - face it" and "It doesn't change a thing", instead of debating the issue, then I reserve the right to say you're talking shite.

The Drogba thing has been done to death already, in the EPL he wouldn't have had a problem but in Europe it's different.

Look, IMO Barcelona were hard done by, the only reason I've banged on about it so much is because some of the counter-arguments have been laughable ("the game's over - face it." Oh yes, that'll end all the discussion that will!). Great game, shame it had to end in the fashion it did. If it was Celtic going through that way I'd be delighted for sure.
