It's understandable IMO.
You're pumped full of adrenaline and you've just been knocked out of the champions league in the last minute of the semi final after a horrendous display by the referee. I probably wouldn't have gone as far as Drogba, but I certainly would have reacted at the full time whistle.
It was a pure disgrace the way he was acting. I think the core of the Earth was hit by his dummy when he spat it out.

On another note, heard something interesting in the pub where I was watching it tonight. Uefa and especially Sepp Blatter complain about the english dominance in the CL, and then the referee has a performance like that tonight. Coincidence?
That's what Sky were trying to say as well. I can't see it been anything but pure rubbish. It aint the English sides' fault that teams like Real Madrid collapse like a set of farts when they play them. The truth is, the only sides that have looked like winning the European Cup this season have been United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona, who are also the only sides who have looked to have any chance of winning their domestic Leagues this season, which happen to be the two biggest and best Leagues in Europe.
Until Italy and Germany get some decent, competitive sides the English / Barca dominance will continue for a few years.
