Terrible mistakes by the referee in the Chelsea v Barcelona game also, but no excuse for the behavior of certain Chelsea players. If the mistakes had been against Barcelona, Chelsea would have gladly accepted the win. That's how it goes.
I've always hated the away goal rule. It's almost as silly as the offside rule. Extra time and penalties is the only fair way to resolve a stalemate in cup games.
While on the subject of football, it looks like it'll soon be RIP Darlington FC. The only genuine offer to buy the club has been turned down by the receivers, and it is said that there is little to justify them staying in the league. I disagree with that last bit because they have been playing quite well, but the town hasn't really got behind the club and so doesn't deserve a football team. George Reynolds had ambition and built the larger stadium with promotion in mind, but the Council denied his request to be able to hire it out for concerts and other events to help finance the club. Once he had left the club the Council reversed this decision, so they obviously just had a grudge against an ex-con. Nobody put as much into the club as Mr Reynolds, and it looks as though this has been their final season. It would be nice to see one of the Premiership teams come to the aid of Darlington FC, but I can't see that happening when the town itself won't offer support.
