Football

swings and roundabout, for me, hiddink taking off the injured/not injured drogba and putting on belletti told you everything you needed to know.
Barca had to play the last what half an hour with ten men, and still dominated possession, still passed the ball around chelsea, and still were committed to attacking. Chelsea decided to shut up shop, now even I know you can't sit on a one nil, especially when if the opposition scores an away goal, its game over.
All the whining and bitching is to be expected, yes the referee could have been better, but how to make them better, you don't see the big clubs putting money into a pot to train referees, get more ex footballers into the game as referees, create a transparent and accountable body which would train/promote/encourage referees and the role they have in the game. No they just slag them off and people start the call for video replays.

Chelsea lost, some decisions went against them, but equally decisions went against Barca, but that happens all the time in football, man up and get over it. Barca were the team that wanted to play football over the two legs, and they won through. If Chelsea had been more progressive during the two matches, maybe they wouldn't have had to worry about a disputed penalty call.

And the whole drogba live on air, fucking disgrace thing, sky should just shove stuff on a five/ten second delay and bleep it out, rather than prostrating themselves in front of the lightweights who wil get offended by strong language, and apologising like the weak willed pansies that they are, if they weren't so blinded by trying to be in the heart of the action and all that other codswallop, they would be aware that footballers and fans swear like troopers and are as excitable as seven year olds at christmas, so effing and blinding will take place, and best to bleep it out beforehand than apologise after the fact...
