"Chelsea Ha Ha Man United youngsters great"

Finally Chelsea lost a football match, well done Charlton

And Man United's kids beat league 2 side barnet very comfortable

Rossi and Ebanks Blake are a great partnership

miller and richardson provide two free kicks

barnet were unlucky with with a sending off inside 4 minutes and having a goal disallowed for offside

but they managed to score a consolation

come on United

Does that include the people I know who are qualified referees? :D

Still, it is far harder on the pitch to see what's going on, even with the help of assistants. Very few referees command any real amounts of respect aside from Collina, and I think he's retired now. Still, the laws of the game have to be upheld on the pitch, with varying degrees of efficiency.

Yes it gets on me when people constantly analyse their every decision with the benefit of technology.

Let then have a go and see how they do!

And thanks to viewing technology, referees continue to become ever less seen as being right, or respected for their decisions.

The list of goals that have been wrongly disallowed grows ever longer.....

Chelsea should have won, at one point the Charlton 'keeper had "saved" the ball, even though it was blatently over the goal-line.

Still, that's one competition they can't win this year. For sure.

Don't losses on penalties go down on the manager's record as draws?

I only say that because it seems the statistics people never count the Euro 2004 loss to Portugal against Sven - pre Northern Ireland his record of only two losses (Brazil and France) kept getting thrown around by the media.

Blackburn, then Man U the week after.

Exactly what I thought. God damn you, Bent, score on the weekends.

Chelsea can't claim "Oh, we didn't care, we fielded a rubbish team". He even brought Lampard on, that's how much he 'didn't care' about the Quadruple.

Who've they got at the weekend? They're going to get such a beating I could cry for them.

"Beaten for the first time at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho."

Now that I didn't realise.
