was he "concentrating on getting the ball off the pitch" or "trying to delay the game"? i dont think there is such thing as concentrating on getting the ball off the pitch. you just kick it out. its plain simple. if a defender holds the ball and tries to delay the game, opposing team should play quick. and ref should play the game on, then show the defender yellow after the position ends. this is my view. we both said what we think. i dont think there is a good point at continuing the debate.

ball went out for a throw in. 1. why did terry grabbed it? 2. why did he hold it? 3. why did he throw it on the pitch when we started the play? based on these, i think he was intentional.

mancini's ridicilous choices (playing with balta instead of semih, sneijder at LW) gave the early lead in the gameplay to chelsea. away team were way better than us in the first 30 mins. when he replaced hajrovic with yekta & changed the formation(30'), we equalised. when semih replaced balta(45'), we started to dominate the game. these are why i see mancini's first 11 choices as the main problems for us. i think terry's unsportsmanlike conduct should be fined by uefa. ref's decision to unrule our goal was unbelievable. he should've let the play on (advantage), then show terry the yellow after the position. cech really exaggerated the time wasting concept. the result is fair. of course chelsea has the advantage now. schalke got a 1-1 draw in our home last year too, but we managed to eliminate them after all.
