lol chelski
Apparently:
Chelski representative during pre match safty briefing

Oh mr. Claus bo! you must remember that we have players that already have yellow cards, and we wont be to happy if they rescive aditional cards

 

[Talivar]

Yet our player with a yellow card got another? . I think im missing your point somewhere.

 

[Olgaline]

you missed the point ? really?
ok let me spell it out for you:

it's not a reffs job to take into account who has and doesnt have yellow cards proir to a game!
if a player commits a yellow card offence, then he'll rescive a card.

 

[Talivar]

Ok let me spell it out for you aswell lol ITS A MADE UP RUMOUR! ,probally by some sad liverpool fan that couldnt take the fact they lost. Although i have to say hats off to most liverpool fans they have been mature about it all, only the odd idiot who has to say something stupid.

 

[Olgaline]

uhm no,
it's actually of a quote from the reff himself,
from an interview with the danish press.

trying to influence an official pre match is bad taste in any form.
A club of chelskies size should rise above such nonsence, it doesn't suite them

 

[Lethul]

So how was the ref during the game? I haven't heard any complaints really.

 

[Talivar]

Ref was fine for both sides, one of the only yellow cards i can remeber in the game was for Terrys silly challenge on Reina. Newspapers and the press always make up silly storys. Just annoys me how some ppl try to ruin what was a good game from both sides and a good reaction from both sets of fans afterwards. Liverpool beat us twice this year, we have beat them now once its all swings and roundabouts. Its what makes football interesting. Just wish the crybabys from all clubs would all go watch a diff sport

 

[Olgaline]

So how was the ref during the game? I haven't heard any complaints really.

Ref was fine and profesional,
dout any top end Uefa ref would let him self be intimidated by such remarks,
but doesnt change the fact that i can understand his suprise and dismay over it.

Nerves are setting in already, not cool

I think we'll have to score first tonight to really deflate Liverpool - i know they need to score 3 to go through without conceding to us, but having to score 3 just to take it to extra time i think would really take the wind out of their sails.

Be interested to see how much of the game Gerrard will see, though i trust Essien to follow him like a lost dog tonight

Gerrard wont even be on bench nevermind start.

You would need an on form Gerrard and Torres to turn this around.

Lol I hope I havent put the kiss of death on it, I hope you go through

Yup, no Gerrard according to BBC live text:

1841: Liverpool have confirmed Gerrard will not start, so the much-maligned Lucas does.

1838: Steven Gerrard has been spotted sitting in the directors' box at Stamford Bridge, wearing his civvies. The Liverpool skipper has been struggling with a groin injury but Rafa Benitez had been expected to risk him in this game. So does this mean Rafa's throwing all his eggs in a Premier League-shaped basket?

1834: We have unconfirmed reports that Steven Gerrard WILL NOT play tonight. He will not even be on the bench.

1830: These ties are over. Nothing to see here... Right?

 

[megadave]

i'll believe it when i see it

 

[Lethul]

Mah, not even worth a watch now

 

[JingleBells]

i'll believe it when i see it

how about now:

1852: TEAMS Chelsea v Liverpool
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Alex, Carvalho, A Cole, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Kalou, Malouda, Drogba. Subs to follow.
Liverpool: Reina, Aurelio, Arbeloa, Skrtel, Carragher, Kuyt, Lucas, Alonso, Mascherano, Benayoun, Torres. Subs to follow.

 

[megadave]

i mean see it on tv!

im still nervous. anything can happen in 90 minutes of football. the spanish ref scares me as well

 

[gohan]

cant belive their not palying riera or bable as a suport striker :<

 

[fettoken]

GOGO Liverpool.

 

[Corran]

lmfao, nice goalkeeping.

assumption is the mother of all fuckups

 

[Corran]

lmao, liverpool fans be happy that advantage not played. god skertel nice shot

edit:
what happening to chelsea? collapse against bolton and dont even seem to be on the pitch tonight.,... and it not even like liverpool playing amazing.

 

[gohan]

oh my whats occuring :S dont wanna say to much yet

 

[Corran]

oh my god, what is with the keepers today. lol

least it interesting as seemed pointless game.. though only 8 mins to csi.. better get the itv site up on lappy to watch the last half hour as well.

edit.

what a turn around, and what an amazing freekick. That was unstoppable

 

[gohan]

shame
at least we gave it a decent go

 

[Corran]

that what you call a game of 2 halfs. Good try liverpool, in the end though chelsea probably deserved it as they played well second half

 

[Corran]

oh my god, game on again

 

[gohan]

oh my whats occuring



hate being a liverpool fan never do anything fucking simply, can't even lay down and die without making my heart pound

 

[leviathane]

lol my gawd.

 

[soze]

This should shut that french twat up where else do you get a game like this.

 

[Lethul]

bah, first time Drogba didn't dive Lampard settles it

Nice watch tho. If N'gogs shot would have gone in

You have to wonder how many goals messi will score against a Cech tho

 

[gohan]

or torres's early one or any of the 30 chances we had in the first leg but it didnt :<

 

[Imgormiel]

Well, that game was epic, ok my team lost, should have been a final, rest of the competition is gonna be boring. You won't get a better game to watch for the rest of the champions league campaign.
