If Kalou doesn't wave his hands round there i reckon that gets given. Shouldn't he of been booked though?

It was a blatant pen. Inter player was wrong side went into Kalou, fell over and clipped his foot as he fell. Awful refereeing, but even worse linesmanship.

A booking for Kalou??? Yeah, really rub the salt in after not giving a pen that he should have done.

Thought the booking for the Inter player for diving was harsh as well. Carvalho threw out a stupid foot which didn't connect. Not a pen, boot shouldn't have been a yellow for him either.

Wouldn't surprise me if thats Cech's season done.

Re: Even More Football Chat : Wed Feb 24, 2010 9:06 pm  

Cech injured.

Chelsea will have a good keeper playing now and maybe one who doesnt make mistakes.

Yep i thought it was a penalty as well. I just think that throwing his hands in the air hasn't helped Kalou there. The ref has already turned one down at one end for a dive, swan diving won't of helped. My point was he booked the other Inter fella, if he thought it wasn't a penalty surely he gives Kalou a 2nd yellow? It's that or a penalty surely?

Should've been a pen for Chelsea, however since when has a tackle from behind caused a player do a star jump?

At the time, when I was at my angriest, I thought he wouldn't book Kalou because if he did, the game would have to be stopped and he'd have been getting it in the ear from 5 Chelsea players about how he was not giving us a blatant pen. Far easier for him to let play on where the CFC players would have to carry on with the short time remaining.

It would've been no pen, no booking if the ref felt the Inter defender had won a fair challenge and during that fair challenge taken Kalou down. That'll be his reasoning IMO, but where he gets the fair challenge from I don't know.

-----------------------------------------------------

On the whole I thought it was a pretty good performance from us. Poor result, and poor defending at times cost us very dear, but all the luck was with Inter. Their second goal was particularly galling. We'd had half a dozen similar chances like that and the bounce of the ball went wrong for us. Their first attack after our goal and the ball sits up perfectly for them to score.

Citeh lost???

Adebayor got a red as well, didn't he? Straight red for an elbow, I read. Isn't that a 4 match ban because it's his 2nd red for violent conduct this season?

3-1 aet.

Didn't see Adebayor's red, but it was given for violent conduct.
