It’s the second year running that Chelsea has seen it’s way out of the Champions League at Stamford Bridge, but this time John Terry felt it was the right time to talk about the Referee’s.

In the aftermath of defeat by Inter, Terry said: ‘It was a bad performance from us but a really bad performance from the referee.

‘It is not good enough at this stage of the competition. We were at home and we didn’t get one decision. We do our best to get ourselves in this position and for two years running we get let down by bad refereeing. We need someone at the club to take it up with UEFA.’

Terry, who screamed at a linesman at the entrance to the tunnel after the final whistle, said: ‘I’m not going to say the word conspiracy. But I’m so frustrated by what happened. The penalty on Didier was blatant and how the referee and the linesman miss those decisions frustrates me.’

Terry, the former England captain, claimed the referee failed to return the respect the FA’s campaign of that name has encouraged players to show officials. ‘When a decision didn’t go our way I, as captain, went to speak to the German referee and he turned his back on me,’ said Terry.

‘We spend two years talking about respect and he does that and refuses to talk to me. I’m pulling and pushing our players away from him throughout the game and he turns his back.

‘I wasn’t shouting. I went to try to talk to him and when he wouldn’t talk that is when I got frustrated. That is just pure disrespect.’

Terry said: ‘Players could lose their place in the team because of the Inter performance. But the referee last year was back in refereeing a week after our game.

‘It has to be looked at. We are disappointed that we are not going through but I can’t look any further than the referee’s performance. If I get myself in trouble, then so be it.’
