Drew, I have the same lament. Unfortunately, this is true of any sport that involves a referee. There are no perfect referees, but you need an adjudicator. Even in American Football, the video replay does not solve all referees problems. It's not perfect, but I don't see any fix that would make it perfect. “It’s unfortunate that the game has come to this.”

Barcelona suffered as much if not more due to the lousy ref. At the end of the day you have to play both your opponent and the ref. Chelsea had scoring opportunities that they failed to capitalize. They're mistake. I can understand being angry, but Drogba took it too far. The officiating was horrible in both directions, but I agree with Big Fresh.
