Why?

[Term-X 7,891]

We'll appeal and see if UEFA will throw us a bone.

It's not worth making a fuss over the JT dismissal..

We should however, appeal the Ramires & Ivanovic suspensions.

He's our captain and our leader he shouldn't be making 'knee jerk reactions'

Thankfully it didn't cost us but it was really a pathetic action.

My post was supposed to be humoristic,you know "knee jerk reaction" and Terry hit Sanchez with his knee...

On a serious note what Terry did was disgraceful and no matter how much i love him i don't think that a simple sorry will be enough for me to forgive him this time

Is it possible? I thought you could not appeal yellow cards.

lol ah okay didn't catch that.

Agree. We get that he's sorry and he's still a legend for what he's done but that was just so brainless. 1-0 down, the tie still within our reach, his CB partner gone off with an injury, and we're playing BARCA who always get favourable decisions. How on earth did he think that he wouldn't be punished for that?! Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Not sure, I'm just assuming..

It was so harsh to give them yellows for something as petty as 'dissent' anyway.

[francozola 2,040]

Did they show replays of the Ivanovic & Ramires yellows?

[Kieran. 6,317]

Did they show replays of the Ivanovic & Ramires yellows?

I don't remember, but both of them were for dissent. Furious over that.

[Kostas 1,468]

Worse than Drogba's red in Moscow. Disgraceful.

That's the first insident that came to mind. Both are inexcusable just like both cases do not erase what those players have been for the club.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

No, you cant appeal yellow cards, Im not sure if you can appeal straight red cards though.

[francozola 2,040]

Yes I agree but at the same time the players should have kept some composure knowing that the ref has gone card happy. The yellow card was probably justified (since there don't seem to be any replays we don't know how animated they were) but it's unfair that they have to miss the final.

[francozola 2,040]

No real point in appealing JT's red imo but if it's possible then might as well do it and hope that the people at UEFA have a brain fart of some sort and overturn it

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Fingers crossed, anyway team selection for the final is a matter for another day. Im so thankful to be in the final and Im going to bed now so proud to be a Chelsea fan, as I said in an earlier comment, while I have full sympathy with the 4 lads who wont be able to play in the final, lets focus on who we do have, over 90 minutes, even with those 4 missing, we are formidable opponents.

[warnie_666 1,081]

It was Almost Zidane-esque

Stupid terry still says he didnt mean it. We all know you did and you almost cost us the final.

[Kez 2,727]

Keane & Scholes both received medals in 99 despite missing the final through suspension so all suspended players should receive medals if we go on to win.

Terry's challenge was one of the more interesting moments of the match (apart from Ramires, Torres scoring, Messi missing his penalty and the awesome tackle by Lampard on Fabregas).
