Well they say decisions even themselves out, and I have to agree in this case. It would've taken 4 clear-cut penalties to be denied to even get close to all the diving and general unsporting behaviour chelsea have demonstrated in the recent past.
Poetic justice for Barcelona who a few years ago were knocked out of the champions league because the referee didn't spot John Terry's blatant foul on their keeper, which allowed chelsea to score.
Drogba should have perhaps thought of the consequences of missing an easy chance when he was feigning injury to waste time or when he was bouncing about in the refs face at the end.
What about when one of their players (Bosingwa?) stuck his studds into a Liverpool player to kick him into touch in the quarters? That was disgusting but he was allowed to get away scot free.
Poor ref I admit, but what goes around comes around.
