Petty Chelsea!

I just had to write about this, because my husband has been driving me insane since Wednesday!
To those of you in America (as I am), this won't mean anything to you.
But if your in England or Spain, you will.
Chelsea v Barcelona.
Why are all the Chelsea players being so petty about the game? When the away goal rules works in your favour - you never complain. And sometimes it doesn't go in your favour. It's like all rules on the soccer pitch. Sometimes they work for you and other times they don't.
But it is just so petty and childish and just plain stupid to make death threats to the referee! Just because he didn't like Chelsea get away with their usual style of cheating! I applaud the man for not letting Chelsea walk all over him or intimidate him!
I've never like Chelsea. They have always been smug and arrogant. All sorts of rumours are going around now because apparently UEFA had a match report and score posted up BEFORE the game (which was live) even begun! There are stories of the game being a fix, of the referee taking bribes.. Of many crazy things!
And yet, if it were the other way round, Chelsea would happily accept things as they were!
Forums are filled with death threats for this poor referee. Chelsea fans threatening to fly to Norway and kill him! That is just way over the top!
It's a soccer game! It is not life and death. Chelsea did not deserve to win, otherwise they would have. If they put as much effort in to playing the game as they do abusing the referees, I'm sure they would have won. As it stands, they didn't.
They lost. GET OVER IT! That is directed to both players and fans. Grow up.

Well said! I was really shocked at Chelsea's behaviour! It was really bad, even for them! There is no way John Terry should still be England Captain afer that display!

Same old Chelsea always cheating. Never happy if a game doesn't go their way!

I am not surprised by their behaviour. It just goes to show what I always knew about them! Don't they just make brilliant role models? Chasing people around the pitch and threatening to harm him?
