Has the goal really made any difference? If Barcelona equalise they go through, right? So in those terms Barcelona still need the one goal they needed at the start of the match
If Drogba wasn't well known for falling over with every breeze, he'd probably have had 3 penalties by now!

Eric Abidal is sent-off for Barcelona after sixty five minutes.
Champions League, we're 'aving a laugh, Champions League, we're 'aving a laugh!
havent seen all the match but that sending off was even worse than last nights in my opinion.

Andres Iniesta scores for Barcelona in the third minute of injury-time with their first effort on target.
Champions League, we're 'aving a laugh, Champions League, we're 'aving a laugh!
How much did Platini pay the referee to avoid another all-English Champions League Final?
Some scandalous decisions.
Champions League, we're 'aving a laugh, Champions League, we're 'aving a laugh!

Chelsea robbed(thankfully). I think United have a better chance against Barcelona. Is it just me or have a lot of big matches this season revolve around dodgy refs?
gutted, bomb norway thats what i say , to miss one stonewall penalty maybe forgivable but two and two more claims that we have all seen given at times don't worry eufa the rev did you proud and youve got the money spinning final you wanted.
I have an impressive bank of knowledge and experience. Unfortunately, I've lost the combination to this bank.
This is why I gave up betting on football 2 years ago, many matches decided by Team FA/EUFA rather than the teams themselves, and it has now got much worse.
The match last night was a complete farce, I've seen the local under 8's Sunday games refereed better than that.
The two big winners were UEFA & the bookies.
We are getting to the stage that the teams may as well stay at home and the ref will decide the result :splapme

Ooh, just read on the BBC that Man Utd could appeal Fletcher's dismissal according to the UEFA general secretary
On past evidence the appeal date should be set for August then! :splapme

I've just read that Mat although the end of the story shouldn't get too many hopes up;
Taylor has offered United a sliver of hope that Fletcher, 25, could turn out against Barcelona on 27 May, although he admitted the likelihood was that the decision would stand.
"I must stress there is normally no way these matters can be overturned," he warned.
Which basically means that even if we see that he got the ball, we won't change our minds because we don't want to. They are just a bunch of suits who can't relate to ordinary fans, in no other sport in a major final would this happen if a player was not guilty of an offence. Democracy my . UEFA preach endlessly about fair play.... where is UEFA's fair play in putting things right.God I would love to have an argument with one of those running them...
Did anyone see Lovejoy on the 606 interactive last night...he was absolutely gutted??
He was being pretty biased last night, understandably gutted but he got a mouthful from a chap from Wales, calling him arrogant about 4 times I think...you would have liked the call!
Just watched the highlights pez and I agree it was as bad as Fletchers. I think it could be bad news for him as if he gets off, there is no doubt they will want Abidal's rescinded as well.
I also agree that there was only one clear cut pen I saw, Pique's handball....and I really cant see why it wasn't given??? Drogba was falling all over the place so it is difficult to give him them sometimes, though I admit the defender did grab a bit of his shirt so technically it could've been given. The Malouda one seemed outside to me at first and wasn't totally sure about the handball at the end.
The thing that looks worse for UEFA, apart from an incompetent ref, was that we know Platini doesnt/didn't want 2 English teams in the final. When something like this happens with so many appeals going ignored, it makes people think something dodgy has gone on even though I dont reckon that happened in this case. But Chelsea can feel pretty aggrieved I reckon.
