The referendum should never have happened without the clear majority of the country which it never had. Thats what created the tension. If, like other countries going for independence they had 70/80/90% support it wouldn't have divded a country. Glasgow has always been a divided city and probably will be for a long long time to come! Yes campaign had a big loud, vocal campaign and thats the main reason it done as well as it did and gained such huge support. Darling failed himself in the second debate but No was always a silent majority. If the referendum was never brought up it wouldn't have been an issue for most people and now that independence didn't go through 45% of Scotland is acting like the world has ended. The police were expecting trouble in the event of a NO vote given the agressive behaviour of the yes side the previous few days. Shame on anybody on Friday out causing trouble and behaving in like small minded bigots, bringing the efforts of others into disrepute, whether they carried a Union Flag or a Saltire. They weren't representitives of no voters, yes voters, Rangers, Scotland or Great Britain, but only of themselves.

Oh the big bad no voters and Unionists! The fact is we could go tit-for-tat all night. Both sides had a bad element to it. The riots started on Friday night because they were provoked. Elements from the BNP, csc and green brigade all showed up to make their statements for their respective voting interests. Yes camp are hurting bad after being promised the world, built up full of false hope then dropped like a tonne of bricks and now they are looking to tarnish the name of not only those who voted no but also Great Britain. There is absolutely no excuse for the scenes in George Square on Friday night. Union Flags were set alight a couple of nights previous. The burning a Saltire was the reaction of few idiotic individuals (for whatever reason i don't know) who thought it would be a good idea to hit back at the 'other side'. What now needs to happen is that the bitterness is downed and everybody pulls together to work towards the goals of everybody in a newly enlightened nation because whether you voted Yes or No, the vote was cast in the best interests of everybody in the country. It's how you viewed what was best and what you prioritised that made the difference.

Ha ha don't we all

Sometimes I come on here and wonder... do people love Chelsea, or do they just love winning. The reaction to Frank Lampard is terrible. He is a Chelsea hero. He is a top professional. The only people we can blame for the result today is ourselves because we didn't play to the best of our ability and didn't adjust to make the most of them being down to 10. Super Frank! :blue scalf:

He lost me more and I can't even grudge him!

Eden is still maturing as a footballer and a person. He is also well known for his poor English. He will think twice about making such comments but it has definitely been blown out of proportion.

feeling dejected

Defending just doesn't seem to be in his game. He either didn't want to defend or can't defend. The way we set up tonight really needed a winger that can get back. In hindsight Schurrle should have been on from the start.

Is that the last we see of Fernando? I noticed when he was coming off he extended his hand to Mou but Jose never even looked at him and just gave him a pat on the back... Maybe I read too much into things. lol.

"Not my keeper, Athletico keeper." - Hopefully that was only just tonight he was talking about.

Think it was a panicked decision. Lets get a goal and shut up shop. Of course it completely opened us up.

Haha. There was only a couple of seconds in that I think

Schurrle should have started in place of Hazard...

Right. Not so bad here. We are just back to where we started. Need 1 goal

Anyway. Quick. Bring on Bus.

Torres started to celebrate then stopped.

Even when he is playing CB you can usually find him popping off shots just outside the opponents box

Are we going to play with 3 defensive mids or are we going to set out like we did against PSG. If it's Rami and Luiz, with Hazard, Oscar and Willian just in front it's going to be a very forward minded team.

Big day is here Blues. Time to stand up and be counted. Disagreements and opinions all go to one side tonight. Regardless of who plays or who doesn't play it's 100% behind the team. If you are going to The Bridge be in full voice. 4 walls of noise. Drown out the sound of the Athletico fans. Drown out the P.A system. Drown out the stand across from you. If you can't make the game then be sure to be shouting so loud you can be heard in SW6 anyway. It's potentially the kind of night you will be talking about for years to come. It's down us to show just exactly what it means to be part of Chelsea and get the team to sense the occasion. AND IT'S SUPER CHELSEAAAA!

Right boys... looks like we are playing the other team from Madrid in the final... that's them 2-0 up in Germany

In-fighting. Inbreeding. Sounds about right.

Chelsea Fans Invade Liverpool & Cause Riot In Peaceful Area of City

Just the reaction from the sliverpool camp today has made the season a success. :blue scalf:

HAHAHA He will be on the blower to Injury Lawyers 4 U in the morning. "Have you had a slip, trip or fall at work? Did it cause you to lose out on the league title"

They will hold this result against us forever. Blaming US for THEM not winning the title
