am saying i thought they were clamping down on things like this though, fletcher was complaining and shouldnt have been neither should ballack but something needs to be done. cause refs get bullied game after game by players these days.

He brushed the ball while going over it. He clattered into Cole.

The ball went backwards from Fletcher, there's no ****ing way that he went into that to drag the ball back. He only "won" the ball because he's knocked Cole over and could turn round and collect it.

It was a blatant foul.



Maybe for you they do, but nowhere else in football.

Cole had possession of the ball. Fletcher was rushing in and clattered him. If you've got the benefit of those decisions in the past then that shows how well off you are.



For me the full extent of that was only in the replays.

Ridiculous that Drogba got booked for it though.

I've said I would have disallowed it. Drogba was offside and IMO clearly intereferring with play.

someone needs to have a word with both Chelsea and Manchester United about that then

what was the booking for? The sound wasnt too great in the pub I was in so couldnt hear

well i guess we have had enough luck this season, someone else was gonna have some againstus eventually.

i just hope thats what it comes down to at the end.

You'd need to ask the ref about that.

just as I thought!

Probably for acting as though he was having a heart attack. It was the quickest his legs were moving all game.

Drogba's Reputation proceded him again,

was a clear foul, would imagine getting kicked in the stomach by someone wearing studs would hurt quite abit Nemanja.

Thought the conduct of both sides in the 2nd half was a disgrace.

he jumped into the man,never looked at the ball

fergie ranting at a ref for man utd losing



shocker

cant of liked the prawn sandwiches this week

Correct - I thought that was clear?

"12 men"

Subtle Wayne.

I thought it was a foul but Drogba was offside.

Thought for sure it was going to be 0-0. A great win especially the way we played.

Drogba didn't jump into him. He was running through to follow the ball if it went through. He was perfectly entitled to be there and in no way deserved a booking.

The award of the goal for chelsea was a decision that can only be matched by the 'goal' scored by Chimbonda against City two or three seasons ago. Everyone in the ground could see he handled the ball, not to mention from an off-side position. The off-side was blatantly obvious - he was on the goal line! Probably the worst decision I have ever witnessed in football.

Saying that, Evans should be banned for three matches for his challenge on Drogba.

Anyways, back to the football: I thought Rooney was excellent yesterday. He occupied the Chelsea defenders on his own.

If Fletchers was a foul then why did United not get a penalty at anfield for Carraghers challenge on Carrick?

If Carragher's challenge was awarded a penalty then surely Fletcher's trip on Arshavin was a penalty?

Because the whole world is against United, obviously.



I thought Carragher was lucky with his challenge. It could easily have been given, but often isn't. With it being in the penalty area referees are obviously going to be wary of making a mistake and err on the side of caution.

If Fletcher challenge was to be deemed acceptable then the Blackburn's and Bolton's of this world would be doing it to you every time they play you. You'd soon be bitching about it then.

I'm still puzzled though how United fans think Fletcher won the ball when the ball went behind him after the challenge.

Fletcher didnt touch Ashley Cole, he jumped in the air in a way that has only been seen from him previously when mobile phones have been around.
