How is he a disgrace? Its not as if 1 or 2 penalties were turned down, he has every fucking right to react how he did. I'm usually all for respecting the ref, but he was contempt on awarding Chelsea fuck all. Drogba - Passionate.

I think the first one the ref got right, the foul was outside the box and then Malouda dived in the box - the ref waited to see of there was an advantage, there wasnt one so gave the free-kick! i think the second one was a dive, or at least Drogba (for a 6'2" 15 stone man) went down far too easily! The third one could have been given but Pique had his arm in that position from his running style already then the ball hit his arm, if it would have been given i think it would have been a little harsh to be honest! The 4th one was a penalty, no doubt, if you've got your arms in the air that high and the ball hits you then im afraid it's your own fault if a peno is given!
But Chelsea are the biggest bunch of moaning, diving, cheating bastards almost ever (until you see United up to their tricks sometimes!) and i think deserved not to go through because they played no football over the 2 legs, they just sat on the edge of their box and counter-atacked for 180 minutes!

Eh? The 1st is in the area. The referee hasn't signalled play on or advantage to Chelsea as you can see in the youtube clip. So when the referee blows his whistle this must be when the opposition player has comitted the foul.

Maybe but it was still a dive anyway! How, when you're stood facing someone and they put their hands on your shoulder, do your legs fall from under you!? They dont, you might be stopped in the action of running but your leags dont go anywhere!
Exhibit 1 - One week ago, Nou Camp, misses a sitter in a one-on-one with Valdes, even when given a second bite of the cherry.
Exhibit 2 - Put through in the first half, he get's to the ball first then only manages to nick it in to the on-rushing Valdes. Anywhere else and either Valdes would have clattered him and would have been off or Drogba would have been round him with the goal at his mercy.
Exhibit 3 - Clean-through again he has his shirt pulled by Abidal and it should have been a penalty. But instead of playing to the whistle, Drogba throws himself to the floor wasting the opportunity and no doubt making the referees mind up that is was not going to be given.
Exhibit 4 - Second-half, great break, good turn inside to wrong foot the defender.... and passes the ball in to Valdes.
Exhibit 5 - Cleanly tackled by Yaya Toure and throws a tizzy-fit for not getting a penalty.
Exhibit 6 - Then decides he's injured and starts hobbling around until substituted. Only for Lo and behold at the final whistle, a miracle recovery that enabled he to give the most horrendous foul abuse to the (admittedly poor) referee.
