Apparently the item at the top of Frank Rijkaard’s agenda last night, when he stormed out to the centre circle to stage an impromptu post-match de-briefing with the referee, was stoppage time. The Barcelona coach couldn’t see where the official had got those six extra minutes from.
I had an issue with the stoppage time, too. How come the referee only played five of the announced six minutes? We would probably have scored a winner in that last minute.
In the event, as Didier Drogba blissfully controlled John Terry’s smart header, the clock showed 92 minutes. I don’t think Rijkaard could have any quibble with that, really.
Among other things, had either Essien or Robben managed to finish the moves that put them in on goal — Essien in the first half, Robben in the second — we would have a twin-set of goal of the season contenders, to sit alongside the one that happened, from Lampard, whose breathtaking chip came from so far wide of the posts he was practically back on the team bus at the point of contact. HAHA <--me~
Incidentally, congratulations to Steven Gerrard, who actually managed to score a goal last night, his first of the season. And people say that Lamps is a midfielder in crisis. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA XD
Frankly, the match had almost everything - ten yellow cards, three on-field dust-ups, two ignored penalty claims, and a partridge in a pear tree. Not to mention another in a long series of A-grade goal celebrations by the manager (greater love has no boss for his team than that he would risk getting grass stains on a perfectly decent suit).
oh. and super duper good news.
