respect the ref?

[Kinky Dribbler]

If players are expected to respect the referee by UEFA, then UEFA must provide them with respectable referees. It is impossible to respect performances like the one we have just witnessed. One of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen, alongside Portugal v Holland in the 2006 World Cup, and anything ever refereed by Stuart Atwell.

The blame lies with UEFA and FIFA for delegating the most important matches to referees who are clearly not up to standard. Obviously there are some referees in the Premiership who we love to hate, but the odd nightmare aside, I don't think any of them show such a level of ineptitude as we see on the european and international stages.

If UEFA are to fine Chelsea for failing to control their players, maybe Chelsea should be able to fine UEFA for failing to control their referee! Also, referees are given far too much protection by their employers, and should be hung out to dry in press conferences and maybe even interviewed by managers after they give controversial or SHIT decisions.

well it seems the majority of us enjoyed drogba and co showing passion,and only one or two thought it was bad

probably the same ones who complain when someone sings at the football :)

Idiots mate, we accept words a lot worse in the stands and around children but as soon as a footballer says a naughty word he's give the whole role model bullshit

You have to gain it simple it cant be forced upon! Quite right about explaining there actions id love the know what he saw in the 6 yard box as he was looking at ETO as it hit his arm.

Ref had a bad game but Ballack in particular was out of order. Clearly not a penalty, and I don't blame the ref for not wanting to give a team of divers and cheaters a pk.

^That one was never a pen, the lad was turning his back to block the shot, it hit more back than arm. Yaya got the ball (hope he comes to COMS) The Pique one was the only nailed on pen I would say.

Fair play mate,
People are focusing on the pens and why not! But to completley sum up his performance the red card wasnt a red card in which a player loses out of a final due to this clown id be climbing in the ways!

This debate isnt about hating, loving chelsea etc this is about football in general its about time something is done - I alwats thought Al Murray was a bit of a twat.
