City got an offside goal, now Chelsea...fantastic officials.

Necronomicon

FFS, not even close. No excuses for that level of ineptitude.

solarith

Eh I withdraw my previous statement

pistolpetes11

Well offside too mind you

BKC

Haha well in Torres!

GavRedKing

Just done my match and checked my footmob app to see it at 2-2 and then it flashed for Torres. Delighted hope we can hold on now. I presume we've been muck ya?

Borderline??!! Says the analyst. Which part of the fence is this joker hanging from?

It's either offside or not, in this case, it was offside. Well played though, other than the poor decision.

Hank Scorpio

Hazard has looked absolute quality tonight

First half Chelsea was ripped apart .... Chelsea have deserved this though on the second half performance - Lovely team goal scored by Torres..... Think he was off though.

2nd half Chelsea much better side, Torres had been fairly muck although getting no service, Chelsea look soft through the middle.

Ill catch the extended highlights at 10:30. If he was off I hope thats not our luck done for the season :pac:

As a Chelsea fan it was 100% offside but these kind of things happen, to some teams more than others, but it happens.

Delighted for Nando.

In saying that however, I'd probably be going fcuking mental if Reading scored an offside goal.

Meireles on for Mata so hopefully we'll ride it out now. Fair play to Reading

Tubbs4

Ivan the top scorer

adamski8

hazard is either very unselfish or is trying very hard to win fans

pistolpetes11

Well done Torres , brilliant ball out of defence

Suryavarman

Tubbs4

Delighted with the result and hope iy continues. Could have a great run at the league

cgpg5

How was Ian Harte tonight? Does he look ok at this level? Missed most of game. Just thinking that he can't be worse than what we have in the Irish team :P

Looks very good alright in his first two games so far, not a bad start to his Chelski career.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Hazard has just gone up a whole lot in my estimation.. I wonder what Sturridge would've done in his position :pac:

BKC

Federici is some clown!

:pac:

The Davestator

Would have preferred Hazard to have a shot - an assist from Torres would have helped my FF!

Good game

Panthro

Well that was easy...
*cough*
Fierce flattering scoreline but it's 3points so happy days.

Yep, knew I should have put Hazard in!

Anyway, looks the real deal alright, but boy do chelsea need another striker

smokedeels

Great stuff from Hazard again, bar the goal Torres looked pants, they really need another option up front.

Why did the Reading keeper come up, goal difference can decide who gets relegated, foolish thing to do in the second game of the season.

Gbear

I would've thought it would be fairly easy to use computers to tell if people are offside or not.

It's ludicrous to expect a person to be able to get off-side decisions correct. That they get as many as they do is incredible in itself.


Maybe add a bit of reflective plastic to to kits or something that can be detected by a computer connected to the myriad cameras at football matches.


I know FIFA's bottom line is terribly important to them and actually trying to make the sport better might eat into that a little but surely for the sake of the sport they could put in a little effort?

Probably going to be his last time starting for Reading! I'd say he wanted to score and make up for his first mistake...

Chelsea didn't deserve to 4-2 but if they win every game like that I'll gladly take it, my nerves mightn't all the same

Sgt Pepper 64

We are top of the league, we are top of the league!

Bad decisions sell newspapers, gather TV viewers and keep people talking about football, that's a massive part of it too.
