Embarrasing if thats what it was, they never showed a replay of it. But begging for other players to be booked is more annoying than that

Thats an unlucky cruciate if you've ever seen one

Wasn't in the rooma t the time, and I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm not even a Chelsea fan. The antics of that big jessie they have up front are often embarrasing. All I was saying is, at the time, Barca were the ones diving and cheating. That isn't a statement about their league, or their country. It was only a statement about them at that particular time.

Making a comment about it without having to add the boring caviat "of course it happens elsewhere and it isn't only them" should be a feature of this board. I'm not going to sit on the fence or be diplomatic. I'll call things as I see them, when I see them.

the difference so far has been that when ballack did it the ref actually booked puyol.
so that's both marquez and puyol out of the second leg.

A Penalty for me that one...

obi mikel is such a dity little get. looks like the ref has left his cards at home

Shameful diving in this one.

Two of the best sides in the world and it's shameful!

Terrible from Bojan a free header 5 yards out over the bar...

This game has been full of simulation. Surprised people haven't turned off to watch something else.

second leg will be a whole different story. chelsea won't defend so much at stamford bridge (a point just made by eto'o) and barça won't be able to afford to.
fair play to hiddink, he's done it again. not many teams come to the nou camp and keep a clean sheet.

What a miracle recovery by Ballack lol.

Barcelona should have had a penalty when Henry was brought down by Bosingwa.

that's 3 of us then

Blatent penalty, Henry was turning and Bosingwa pulled him over, clear penalty.

thought the ref missed quite a bit tonight
