Savic fouls Torres, the free kick goes City's way and from that play Ivanovic gets harshly sent off. It was a red card in my view but doesn't change the fact that if the referee had adhered to the rules, Brana would never of had to have even made the challenge. It's Chelsea so I'll watch it but the game has been ruined now. Interesting season ahead if this bollocks about not being able to tackle continues. I predict something like 120 red cards
Kompany clearly stepped across him, blatant yellow, Savic was lucky not to pick up a card for the Torres incident and De Jong went in for a challenge not too much different to Ivanovic's and it wasn't even blown as a foul, it was certainly a hell of a lot more of a foul than what Lampard got booked for.

Put the toys back in the pram. I think tackles like Ivanovic's shouldn't be worthy of a red but in the modern day of breathing on a player meriting a yellow it's a risk to dive in with two feet like that.
Make yer mind up The Savic one was a foul to neither in my opinion, Savic was seeking to make it difficult for Torres to get past and Torres ran into the back of him and pretended that he was caught in the face. If you think that's a foul Terry wouldn't last 20 minutes before he was sent off. Ivanovic's tackle is pretty much a text book example of a red card. Anyway it's a nothing game and the ref saved Ramires from a match ban by not sending him off at the end and he's been your best player in nearly every game since RDM took over.
Question is where were the supporters i suppose if it is north of london the southerners don't bother!. Wembley was built in London to suit the MP's etc and did not give a stuff about northern supporters, and being built in the most traffic congested place in England!. i remember the 6 am start for the 1990 play off final, back home 18 hours later.
No he was going to run on to it. Whether he made it or not is irrelevant, you can be fouled when not on the ball.
Dont worry the ref did you plenty favours in that match..stop trying to make excuses....Ashley should have gone for a bit of happy kicking...and i think Lampard has lost it and was trying to keep his foot lurking a bit but got away with it...so its a mute point trying to play the victim in all this.
The Red card plus 8 yellows in a game that was played without acrimony makes me wonder where the game is going! Chopper Harris would be spending the entire season suspended if he was playing these days! Mark my words the game will suffer if they dont ease up!
divydiko your full of 5hit!!! did you even watch the game, or were you dusting orf yer ol betamax tapes during the game wota plank !!!!!!
Which set of fans created the thread "Who are the most touchy posters on not606?" http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/160228-Who-are-the-most-touchy-posters-on-not606 I think we now have the answer
Also its going to be interesting to see Chelsea fans throw their tantrums (as they have done on this thread) when they struggle under RDM.
About 5 posts in 6 weeks LOL and they were actually aimed at the attendance of you and Lafferpool. Nothing to do with how you played becaiuse I don't watch you.
Ah I see, you camp on our board and spend your "free time" attempting to annoy spurs fans and now you can't handle fans coming on here and passing comment on your team. Also, this coming from the fan that said they telephoned the stadium in America, to confirm the attendance, you're rather sad aren't you mate.
