Er...and him sending off a Barcelona player for no real reason? That was to put everyone off the scent was it?

The referee had a poor game, but any suggestion that he was 'for' Barcelona is a load of old tripe. As for teams having good penalty appeals turned down, it's called football! We could all point to games where the teams we supported were on the end of bad decisions.

And Drogba was probably so pissed off as deep down he knew he had a great chance to make the game safe, and he missed it.
