After watching the Champions League Semi-Final between Chelsea and Barcelona I was intrigued to see how the Chelsea players would react after the final whistle after Andres Iniesta's late equalizer sent them out of the competition. What I saw didn't surprise me. Chelsea players such as John Terry, Alex and Florent Malouda confronting referee Tom Henning Overbo and his assistants as they complained and questioned their judgement. Then of course Didier Drogba stormed onto the pitch - having been substituted earlier in the game. H
e reacted more angrily, viciously pointing the finger at Overbo and flapping his arms about in front of his face. But as Overbo was beeing ushered off the pitch by stewards, the Ivory Coast international turned to the nearest T.V camera, and said "If's a f****** disgrace". This sort of behaviour I believe is unacceptable, swearing straight at the camera broadcasting the came world-wide is something Drogba knows is wrong, but the anger boiled over. However, I can fully understand the furstration of the Chelsea players, having been so close and then conceded a goal in the 92nd minute after stopping Barca getting a shot on target for all of the game is sickening. I believe 100% that the refereeing desicions were nothing short of disgraceful. No less than four penalties could have been given, including a handball by Pique that was as clear as day. I don't think that Drogba should be judged too badly after his confrontation with Overbo. I do believe however, he should be punished more for swearing, and with little kids watching it certainly isn't the best example. I do think we should respect him for apologising afterwards too, But again the furstration and dissapointment of the Chelsea players can be surely excused after recieving such a cruel, frustrating blow after an emotional Wednesday night.
