DJDonegal Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It was self defence, anyway.Edit: Why did Madrid let Sneijder go? Best player on the pitch by miles in Chelsea-Inter.Two reasons:KakaC RonaldoAlso, Chelsea are out. I'm glad. I'd rather play Inter than Chelsea - we suit them better.

Fireball07 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 And Perez doesn't like Dutch people. Inter were the better side comfortably, I hope they knock out Man Utd or someone like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeric Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have to admit when I just checked the score I did go lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Great performance from Inter. Tactically brilliant and so superior in gamesmanship that you might even say ... fucking bunch of cheats. :PThe ref was useless as well. But Chelsea didn't deserve anything anyway.Yeah I think Arsenal could do better against Inter too. They've got a bit of width to their play.

Alcibiades Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Pretty atrocious officiating. But probably a fair result on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renasko Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 What was wrong with the officiating? About the same as usual, I figured. Drogba decision was deserved.Inter Milan are a much improved side this season. Well beat Chelsea, who just didn't step it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball07 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Their defence is very solid, Samuel and Lucio are excellent as are Maicon and Zanetti. And they have the likes of Chivu, Santon and Cordoba aswell, though they might be injured.And Eto'o, Milito, Pandev and Balotelli up front is dangerous too, while Sneijder is just class.

But probably a fair result on the whole.This, pretty much. There was an impressive amount of diving by Inter, but they were the better side on the whole, so they deserved the win. Chelsea looked a bit lost, which is irritating; I guess we have to win the league now.Also, did they have a better camera angle on the Drogba thing for any of the European telecasts? The one on ESPN didn't really show anything happening, and something must've for a straight red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba responds by stamping on Lucio's ankle.Edit: Motta, not Lucio. :dunce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could see was the rugby tackle and then Motta sort of moves past him on momentum, and then goes down in a heap.ETA: See above edit :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The problem with the officiating in the Chelsea-Inter match was the referee thought that they were playing rugby.The replays of some of the rugby tackle defending in the first half make it very difficult for me to accept a description of it as "solid" despite how good they were in the rest of the game.While Drogba's second yellow (it was a second yellow, and not a straight red, wasn't it?) was deserved for what he did in and of itself, but it should have been a penalty, and possibly a second yellow for Thiago Motta seconds before because of the "tackle" that incited that reaction.I do agree that Inter were the better team on the night though. Chelsea were short of ideas and Sneijder was class. How cool was Eto'o's finish?I guess we can now say that Drogba isn't one for the big occasion. Either he bottles it or finds some other way of letting his team down.(No, not really: I'm just parodying the media's aptitude to leap to a conclusion headline while ignoring all the facts, like how pundits used to claim that C. Ronaldo couldn't do it on the big occasion based solely upon the fact that they didn't like him and he'd proved them wrong in every other area of criticism they layed against him).

And deserved. You're right that it should have been a penalty, too (I don't believe football has rugby's reversal of decisions rule for retaliation).

You're right that it should have been a penalty, too (I don't believe football has rugby's reversal of decisions rule for retaliation).Yeah, in that case, I think the correct decision was probably: a penalty to Chelsea, a second yellow (and thus sending off) for Motta AND a straight red for Drogba.Dunno if that's ever happened in Soccer, but as I know the Laws of the Game, I think that's what should have happened.
