Any other Chelsea fans here devastated by that loss?

That was certainly the worst officiated game in the history of the Champions League. I feel sick to my stomach. First, the Barca red-card that was completely unjustified, then the 3 penalties including a blatant handball in the 82nd minute that wasn't called.

My brother and I yelled so loud when Barca scored that the cats jumped and almost hit the ceiling. And yes, it was horribly officiated. The red card was given after the Chelsea attacker tripped over his own legs.

The red card was horrific, but the handball by Barca in the 80th minute was ridiculous, but the worst was in the first half when the Chelsea fullback was taken down in the box and the guy GAVE the yellow card, but said it was like 6 inches out of the box...just unbelievably bad. I'm still devastated.

Geez. I'm watching the DVR of the game and figured there'd be no football talk here. Go figure! Essien's goal was just sick, but I guess I'll fast forward now to see all the drama.

And, no, I'm pleased by the Chelsea loss, though it's hardly enough to offset my disgust at Arsenal's appalling performance over the entire semifinal.

It's not the referee. It's UEFA and Platini that hate the English. I'm hardly a conspiracy theorist, but it's not hard to envision a top-down directive to prevent another all-English final.

I can't believe that they got screwed on the magic spray, totally fixed!

At least they tried to even it out with a homer announcer (yes, I know Tommy Smyth is Irish).
