I could see him having a problem with the linesman but the ref had a good game apart from the debacle over Cole's booking and the slightly dubious penalty

Which is why in AVB´s statement he says "referees" not just "referee".
Linesmen these days are referred to as assistant referees last time I checked.

How mature!
Thunderkiss has it spot on... however they were both very close offside decisions. but the Smalling one should've been seen.
was the standard that bad? yes replays showed both nani and smalling to be marginally onside but they were very tight decisions - hardly glaring errors - they occur quite often but just don't always result in goals

The bloke wiith the flag is called the linesman or lino for short. The bloke with the stick in the champion's league is just called the spectator. Calling them all referees is just silly
how anyone can complain about Nani goal offside is beyond me, he gains no advantage at all and still has the whole back 4 and centre midfield in front of him before he scored.
The first one yes he gained advantage by being about 30cm offside.
The two offsides were extremely close, so much so that no Chelsea player complained about them during the game. On the other hand, Drogba's offside goal, the goal that decided the premier league trophy two years ago, could be seen from an airplane. And what about the second penalty with a red card to Cole? Was that goos refereeing.

Doesn´t change the fact that they were both offside and shouldn´t have stood.
Smalling´s goals couldn´t have been any clearer offside and the assistant referee failed to do his job properly.
When somenone fails to do their job properly in any other walk of life there are usually consequences so I don´t see why assistant referees should be any different.
For that reason AVB has every right to compain through the official channels.
What about the winner at he Bridge where Smallings leg was kicked and player the threw himself to ground.
That after Luiz had escaped second yellow on THREE occasions.
Come back when you've been done over big time like us at the bridge !!

I suggest you make an official complaint to either UEFA or FIFA then.
What do you want me to do about your dislike for linesmen to be called assistant referees ?

The Smalling one looked definitely off from the angle they showed, but I'd like to see what the view was from the linesman's side with so many players all bunched together.
Sky calling Nani's an offside goal does it a massive disservice, he had loads still to do when he collected the ball
TBH i had more of an issue with the 1st freekick being given and the penalty. Both I thought were quite easy to see as a good challenges
The Nani goal i still dont know what we can moan about, and yes the Smalling goal was marginal.
I'd like to ask why not one of the 8 Chelsea players between Nani and the goal made a tackle ???
Offside my ass

Agreed but it doesnt matter to these whinging Chelsea fan, according to them Utd have got all the decisions in the histroy of football and they've never had a dodgy decision go there way.
All i've heard all afternoon is whinging Chelsea fans, its like they've caught Scousitius!
Chelsea fans watch your 2.1 win at the bridge again then come back and complain.
Cheating of the highest order, and we were winning !!!
I love the way the article states about AVB complaining about the ref but after 2 lines it turns into a Nando bashing article - nice one BBC!

but thats not the point - the article claims AVB is calling the referees performance poor - which wasn't really true - he got perhaps 2 our of how many decisions wrong - and as I pointed out they were quite marginal - The Smalling one is still questionable in my eyes as the definition of "daylight" has never been qualified. His top half is offside but the bottom half in line.
With Nani - Im not too sure what the rule is about getting onside? I.e. Surely Nani has got himself back onside or does it have to be before the ball is kicked?
Chicarito back in training already. Must have been a magnificent break only bettered by the 24 hour recovery.

Evra scissoring Ramires's legs from underneath him in the CL. Penalty goes in, 1-1 final score, totally different game at OT.
Anything else???
