Passionate game, fully understand the emotions he must have been going through at the time. It was after the watershed so all those folk complaining why?? How is it so different to say watching a movie on sky movies or an episode of anything with Gordon Ramsay in? How many people who are complaining have walked away from a match or seen a decision they objected to and come out with a few choice words? We also hear tennis players swearing on court regularly these days but what action is taken and this is usually in the morning or afternoon? I don't really accept the argument of you know what to expect with a movie etc, at the end of the day he hasn't hurt anybody, it's only a word and a commonly used word. Get off his back, it is the players livelyhood at stake when incompetent idiots make crap decisions so he is fully entitled to express his opinion. If it offends others, don't watch next time. It's a passionate game so live with it. However at the end of the day, stop moaning Chelsea, we get these idiots reffing matches every week at oakwell..lol
The thing here is - The referee issued a yellow card so has "therefore already dealt with it" however the swearing came after that... but will be interesting to see if its one rule for them and another for us. Lets see if the F word is worse than a fractured skull, almost a death and a players career at stake.
Funniest thing I've seen on telly for a while As was those idiots in the studio afterwards. Redknapp reckoned the ref got those desicions wrong purely on the basis he was Norwegian.
I'm surprised that the ref got this match. His weekly game is in Norway! It's a bit like the conferance league but with fewer fans. How on earth do EUFA or whoever expect him to be able to cope with such a massive game?
It was funny listening to the Australian pundit saying that Chelsea got what they deserved for the defensive, negative football they played. He reckoned Hiddink has a selective memory of the tie too. The question now is do I rise at 4am on the 28th to watch Manure rip Barcelona apart?
I think one of the complaints was that it wasn't live so Sky don't have that excuse. When the ref was going off you saw Drogba shouting into another camera but didn't hear anything, sky came back from a commercial break and that footage into the 2nd camera was played with the audio, so someone screwed up in not checking what they were putting out. As to how it's different to a movie or Gordon Ramsey - well a film has a rating and a warning, before Ramsey it says there'll be bad language, however in this instance people may have let their kids stop up and wouldn't have expected that. It didn't offend me but straight away I said that Sky would be in trouble for that.
