Ultra Posted 5 May 2009 Posted 5 May 2009 Cos the authorities don't give a shit about justice. And that referee might have been one of the best in the game but it was a shameful decision and even more so in the light of what he didn't penalise moments later.There was no way on earth that he was in a position to see what happened with Fletcher. He guessed and got it wrong. Honest mistake I don't doubt and one which could and should be corrected were there any honour in the game. The result is that a guy who played a blinder and made a brave, honest and seemingly fair tackle misses the most important game of his career while minutes later Adebayor goes right over the top, quiite deliberately, and gets to stay on the field after a tackle that could have broken a player's foot or lower leg. Disgraceful. As I've said before, referees just aren't capable of getting important decisions consistently right and the sooner there's technological assistance the better - especially if the authorities are going to continue refusing appeals and effectively condoning serious mistakes. This. Platini should hang his head in shame. If he spent more time doing his job properly instead of whinging about the dominance of English clubs, injustices such as that suffered by Fletcher tonight would not occur.
Milky Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 A DEPRESSED Arsenal fan hanged himself after his team’s defeat at the hands of arch rivals Manchester United.Suleiman Omondi, 29, burst into tears as United scored three killer goals to knock The Gunners out of the Champions League. Friends told how he was inconsolable when Sir Alex Ferguson’s men sealed the 4-1 drubbing. He walked out of a bar in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi without saying a word. And he was still wearing his Arsenal shirt when he was found hanged from a balcony hours later in the city’s Embakasi neighbourhood. Pal Calvin Otieno said at Omondi’s home: "We were watching the match at the Bamba 70 pub, and when Arsenal were defeated, Suleiman just walked out in protest. “He was crying. "We didn't know he was going to hang himself until this morning when we received the reports. “We came here to find his body at the balcony.” Arsenal slumped to a 3-1 defeat at home in the second leg of the crunch semi-final after losing the first game 1-0. The defeat by fierce rivals United capped a grim season for the Gunners in which they have failed to lift a single trophy. Football-related tragedies are common in many African states, where the English Premiership attracts fanatical support.
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Read about that earlier. Must have just pushed him over, obviously there were problems before hand.
dandannieldanok Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I hope Chelsea win but I think Barca will score this time around and probably knock them out with a score draw.
James. Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 COME ON BARCELONA. Another Chelsea Man United final would make me cry. If anyone gets a decent stream with English commentary please stick the link in here. Love you x
Joe. Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Chelsea could capitalise on Barca's extremely weak defence, but I think they should come away with the win. I'm going 2-1 Barca - Lampard for Chelsea and Messi and Eto'o for Barca.
Samilktray Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 The way people go on, Messi better score at least 3 and develop a cure for the common cold whilst hes at it.
Joe. Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I really, really, really hope Messi shows what he can do tonight. The first game was always going to be difficult with Chelsea playing the way they did, but he should get a little bit more time and space tonight. Come on Barca.
Uncle Albert Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I really, really, really hope Messi shows what he can do tonight. The first game was always going to be difficult with Chelsea playing the way they did, but he should get a little bit more time and space tonight. Come on Barca. Thought more of you Joe. Now Ashley Cole is back I really cant see Messi doing well, yet this will probably come back and hit me in the face. Tonight is Messi's night to prove me wrong, this is the 2nd biggest game in club football and if he can do it tonight I will be impressed. I am not expecting much though.

No, I really despise Chelsea. If Ashley Cole gets raped by Messi tonight it'll be hilarious.
Uncle Albert Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 These are the games Ashley Cole shines in and proves why he is the best left back in the world.
Finnegan Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Thought more of you Joe.Now Ashley Cole is back I really cant see Messi doing well, yet this will probably come back and hit me in the face. Tonight is Messi's night to prove me wrong, this is the 2nd biggest game in club football and if he can do it tonight I will be impressed. I am not expecting much though. Because he doesn't want to see a repeat of last year's final? We've seen more terribly dull Chelsea vs. Man Utd finals than anything else, too. The prospect of a Man Utd Barca final is a great one, in my opinion. The two best club teams on the planet by a country mile - and if Barca have a bad day at the office today and lose to Chelsea that won't change my opinion. On a lighter note, I've lost my Sky Has anyone found a live stream for this? Justin TV has nada.
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 This has United written all over it from last year. Unstoppable goal like last year. Love Essien. Shame he wasn't wearing Barca colours...
davieG Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Sweet goal - but no booking for leaving the field of play - stupid a rule as it may be but where's the consistency?
