Chelsea vs Barcelona + Referee's Controversial

Ballack and the thief

Chelsea will renew their UEFA Champions League rivalry with Barcelona after beating Benfica to reach the semi-finals.

Here, Sky Sports takes a look at five memorable moments from their recent encounters.

BARCA'S AMAZING COMEBACK (1999-00 quarter-final)

The Blues were favourites to reach the semi-finals after winning 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and were only seven minutes from doing so when Barca substitute Dani took the second leg into extra-time. Celestine Babayaro's dismissal for conceding a penalty proved fatal as Barca won 5-1 and 6-4 on aggregate.

MOURINHO RANT (2004-05 last 16)

The next meeting during Jose Mourinho's first season in charge was also a classic, with the Blues recovering from a controversial first-leg defeat to win after a Stamford Bridge thriller. Chelsea raced to a 3-0 lead but were heading out after a superb Ronaldinho double before John Terry's header sealed it. The win was overshadowed by Mourinho's comments about first-leg referee Anders Frisk, whom he accused of inviting Barca boss Frank Rijkaard into his dressing room at half-time. Frisk decided to hang up his whistle after receiving death threats, while Mourinho was branded an "enemy of football" by UEFA's referees' chief and handed a two-match ban.

DEL HORNO SEES RED (2005-06 last 16)

Barca gained revenge for their defeat a year earlier thanks to more controversial refereeing. Asier del Horno was sent off in the first leg at Stamford Bridge after clashing with Lionel Messi, whose theatrical reaction sparked a melee. Ten-man Chelsea actually took the lead, but Barca won 2-1 before securing a comfortable draw at the Camp Nou.

LAMPARD'S INCREDIBLE EQUALISER (2006-07 group stage)

Chelsea had already won at Stamford Bridge and secured a 2-2 draw at the Camp Nou that ultimately helped them top Group A thanks to Didier Drogba's stoppage-time equaliser. But it was an earlier leveller from Frank Lampard that will forever be remembered, the midfielder pirouetting on the byline and somehow chipping Victor Valdes from an impossible angle.

MORE REFFING HELL (2009 semi-finals)

"F****** disgrace!" bellowed Didier Drogba. "I don't know if he's a referee or a thief," cried Jose Bosingwa. That was Chelsea's reaction as they missed out on back-to-back finals on away goals. Michael Essienscored a superb volley and the Blues were denied a succession of penalties by referee Tom Henning Ovrebo before Andres Iniesta equalised deep into stoppage-time. Drogba was banned for four matches - later reduced to three - for confronting Ovrebo at the final whistle.

Bondia Cannavaro Akizuiwa asifanye maafaa

Kamati ya Ligi ya Shirikisho la Mpira wa Miguu Tanzania (TFF) imeipa Coastal Union ushindi wa pointi tatu na mabao matatu baada ya Yanga kumchezesha mchezaji Nadir Haroub ‘Cannavaro’ kwenye mechi kati ya timu hizo iliyochezwa Machi 31 mwaka huu Uwanja wa Mkwakwani jijini Tanga.

Uamuzi huo ulifanywa na Kamati ya Ligi iliyokutana jana (Aprili 2 mwaka huu) kupitia ripoti mbalimbali za Ligi Kuu na Ligi Daraja la Kwanza umezingatia Kanuni ya 25(f) ya Ligi Kuu ya Vodacom juu ya Udhibiti wa Wachezaji.

Kanuni hiyo inasema: “Ni lazima kwa klabu na wachezaji kutunza kumbukumbu za kadi. Klabu itakayomchezesha mchezaji mwenye kadi tatu (3) za njano au kadi nyekundu itapoteza mchezo na timu pinzani itapewa ushindi wa pointi tatu (3) na mabao matatu (3), iwapo mchezaji atacheza akiwa haruhusiwi kucheza kwa ajili ya kadi tatu (3) za njano au kadi nyekundu timu yake itapoteza mchezo. Endapo klabu haina uhakika au inataka taarifa ya idadi ya kadi zake itaomba kwa maandishi toka TFF.”

Cannavaro alioneshwa kadi nyekundu kwa kosa la kupiga kwenye mechi kati ya Yanga na Azam iliyochezwa Machi 10 mwaka huu ambapo kwa mujibu wa Kanuni ya 25(c) ya Ligi hiyo anastahili kukosa mechi tatu. Mchezaji amekosa mechi mbili tu.

Pia klabu za Coastal Union na Yanga zimepigwa faini ya sh. 500,000 kila moja kwa washabiki wake kutupa chupa za majini uwanjani wakati wa mechi hiyo. Adhabu hiyo imetolewa kwa mujibu wa Kanuni ya 32(1).

Kamati ya Ligi pia imemuondoa Kamishna wa mechi hiyo Jimmy Lengwe kwenye orodha ya waamuzi kutokana na upungufu uliopo kwenye ripoti yake ambapo baadhi ya matukio makubwa hakuyaripoti. Moja ya matukio hayo ni kocha wa Coastal Union, Jamhuri Kihwelo kuzozana na mshambuliaji wa Yanga, Hamis Kiiza.

Vilevile waamuzi wa mechi namba 151 kati ya African Lyon na Simba wameandikiwa barua ya onyo kwa kupata alama za chini. Waamuzi hao ni Hashim Abdallah, Abdallah Selega, Hamis Chang’walu na Hassan Mwinchum. Naye Kamishna wa mechi namba 153 kati ya Moro United na Villa Squad, Arthur Mambeta amepewa onyo kutokana na upungufu katika ripoti yake.

BREAKING NEWS! YANGA YAPOKWA POINTI 3 KWA KUMCHEZESHA NADIR HAROUB !

TAARIFA ZILIZOPATIKANA HIVI PUNDE KAMATI YA LIGI KUU YA VODACOM IMEINYANG'ANYA POINTI TATU KLABU YA YANGA KWA KOSA LA KUMTUMIA BEKI NADIR HAROUB HUKU AKIWA HAJAMALIZA ADHABU YA KUTOCHEZA MICHEZO MITATU.

KAMATI HIYO IMEIPATIA POINTI TATU KLABU YA COASTAL UNION YA MKOANI TANGA.

TENGA AKATAA KUJIUZULU KWA MOHAMED

Rais wa Shirikisho la Mpira wa Miguu Tanzania (TFF) Leodegar Tenga amekataa barua ya kuomba kujiuzulu ya Makamu Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Ligi ya TFF, Said Mohamed.

Mohamed ambaye ni Mwenyekiti wa klabu ya Azam alimuandikia Rais Tenga barua ya kujiuzulu wadhifa huo akipinga kauli ya Mwenyekiti wa Kamati ya Nidhamu ya TFF, Alfred Tibaigana juu ya adhabu zilizotolewa na Kamati ya Ligi kwa baadhi ya wachezaji wa Yanga.

Rais Tenga amesema alimteua Mohamed katika Kamati hiyo kwa kuzingatia uadilifu wake na uwezo wake katika kuongoza, hivyo amekataa barua hiyo ya kuomba kujiuzulu.

Kwa mujibu wa mamlaka aliyopewa na Mkutano Mkuu wa TFF, Rais Tenga, Oktoba 28 mwaka jana aliunda Kamati ya Ligi ambayo wajumbe wake wanatoka kwenye klabu za Ligi Kuu ya Vodacom na Ligi Daraja la Kwanza.

Wajumbe wa kamati hiyo ni Wallace Karia (Mwenyekiti), Said Mohamed (Makamu Mwenyekiti), Damas Ndumbaro, Steven Mnguto, Geoffrey Nyange, Seif Ahmed, Henry Kabera, ACP Ahmed Msangi, Meja Charles Mbuge na Ahmed Yahya.

Ten Reasons Performance Reviews Are Done Terribly

In the world of organizational life, there’s no single discussion that causes so much fear and dread on the boss’s side and so much anger and resentment on the direct report’s side than the performance review.

I had drinks last week with a senior guy who works for a global financial institution, who had just had his year-end performance review a couple of weeks ago.  He exploded in anger to me about the experience. “I’ve had it with those guys.  They don’t give a s— about any of the work I’ve done in the last 3 years.  I’m doing the old jobs of 4 people pre-2008 and they don’t thank me and they just want me to do more.  I’m quitting.”

“Wait a second,” I said. “In this economy? You’re going to quit over this?”

“Damn right. I can find another job in the next month for what I do.  If these guys don’t appreciate me, I’ll go somewhere else.”

Why do almost all performance reviews cause aggravation?  Here are the top ten ways you can ensure your next performance with your reports will be a total bomb:

1. Too vague. I love the bosses who have 10 minute performance reviews with their people, usually in the last week of the year — after being harassed 4 times from HR to get them done.  The meetings are usually called on the spur of the moment: “Hey Sally, could you stop in my office for a sec?”  They’re as brief as possible and give the reports no specific feedback on the work they’ve done in the last year.  There’s usually lots of “you’re doing good work” and “keep it up” sprinkled in to the conversation.  But how does a report take that as feedback and improve their job performance in the next year? Be specific about what you liked and didn’t like in their performance.

2. Everything’s perfect – until it’s not and you’re fired. This reason usually follows #1.  Over the years, I’ve heard lots of complaints from laid off workers who never saw it coming and then are bitter when they are tossed aside because they’re apparently no longer getting the job done.  They point to a series of glowing annual performance reviews and then suddenly being called into the boss’s office to be let go.  People aren’t usually resentful if they’re laid off because the company is suddenly facing a crisis not of their own making (which isn’t usually the case).  However, what drives people up the wall is when it’s clear that the boss has been bothered by some aspect of their performance, but never bothered to mention it to them until the time of their firing.  ”A little heads up would have been nice so I could have tried to improve in that area,” said one person I know who went through this experience.

3. Recency effect. This is a psychology term for when we overly focus on the most recent event as the basis for analyzing the entire past year’s performance.  So, if you have some mistake happen to you very recently and it ends up being the entire topic of your performance review even if you’ve done a great job the rest of the year, you’ve been a victim of the recency effect.  Some bosses seem to have no memory, so they only base their opinions on the most recent events and opinions from others to form their opinion on what’s happening.  Plus, the world we live in today, with always on email and Twitter stream updates, makes us even more susceptible to doing this.

4. No preparation. Some bosses like to do these meetings “on the fly.”  I knew one boss that would drive around with his sales guys and give them feedback from the passenger seat on long roadtrips.  The worst part of this kind of approach is that it typically means the boss hasn’t given any thought to how the report has done in the last year and what they need to do to improve.  Even worse are the bosses who simply cut and paste what was on last year’s performance review form to this year’s with minimal if any changes.  The message sent to the employee is: “I’m very important and busy.  I don’t have time to tell you how I think you’re doing at your job.”

5. They never happen at all or “My people know my door is always open.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve chatted with lazy bosses who use that line: “Oh, my people know I have an open-door policy and they can come to me to talk about anything at any time.”  I would say 80% of the time in those cases, if I went to the reports and they answered me honestly, they would say that they typically don’t go to the boss because he or she is always on the phone or looks too busy.  And, by the way, they usually never take the boss up on the offer.  The bosses who don’t plan their performance reviews are typically not great planners in their jobs.  There will typically be other problems down the road for that boss’s work group if they’re showing evidence of being unable to plan the simplest of meetings.

6. No pats on the back. It might seem like a simple thing, but lots of bosses just don’t give recognition to their people when they do a good job.  These days, we’re all busy and most people are over-worked and under-appreciated. But it never ceases to amaze me how much abuse people can take from the worst boss and the worst work environment, as long as they get some random appreciation for their hard work every now and then.  Maybe it’s just inertia, or fears about doing a job search in a bad economy, but I find most people want to stay where they are working at their current jobs.  Maybe they have their kids in a daycare nearby.  Maybe they have a decent commute.  Whatever it is, people can put up with a lot of grief.  They just need an occasional bone to be thrown their way.  Say thanks to your people when they do a good job.  It’s the cheapest bonus you’ll ever pay.

7. No recognition for doing the work of 3 people. More than just saying thanks, it’s important to remember that something structural has happened in the job market since the 2008 financial crisis.  Most industries have dramatically cut headcount.  As a result, the remaining folks have been asked to take on the responsibilities of their former colleagues.  We’re now going into the 3rd year since most of these major layoffs have happened.  On the one hand, the remaining employees are happy they continue to have their jobs, but a lot of them are starting to get burned out.  As mentioned in the previous point, little thanks would go a long way.  Most times though, bosses say nothing. The old employees are gone, the new people pick up the slack, and life rolls on.  Except that there’s a deep undercurrent of resentment among lots of employees out there.

8. Not being truthful with employees about their performance. We all know Mr. Nice Guy bosses, who have a hard time giving one of their reports negative feedback.  We also know bosses who never say anything good.  They only complain.  Steve Jobs at Apple (AAPL) was famous for ripping his people.  In my experience, most people can handle the truth; they just can’t handle inaccurate perceptions.  And those who can’t handle the truth should’ve heard it years ago but probably had lazy managers.  If it’s truthful, most people can take negative feedback — even lots or constant negative feedback as was the case with Jobs.  They can take it because the feedback is in service of the mission at the company.  But if the boss is way off-base in his or her perceptions of a report’s performance, it is maddeningly frustrating for the employee.

9. No follow-up. One of the most bureaucratic things about performance review meetings are the forms that get filled out dutifully and sent to HR.  As part of every performance review, there should be goals set for the coming year.  The worst bosses forget about these goals as soon as they’ve been completed.  There’s no quarterly review of them to see if the employee is on track.  There’s no mid-stream feedback on how the report is doing in relation to the goals or tips from the boss on what to do to get back on track.  Then, 12 months later, the old form gets pulled out from the file to be discussed again and new goals are set.  To be effective, the goals have to be top of mind for both the report and the boss throughout the year.

10. No discussion around the report’s career ambitions. Most people don’t think a lot of their career path – whether they’re a boss or a report. Yet, people need to be asked “what do you want to do?” or “where do you want to go?” at every performance review (or at a separate dedicated meeting annually).  This forces the employee to look him or herself in the mirror.  A lot of times, some disgruntled employee – if they’re forced to answer the question of where they want to progress to — will realize they’re not in the right spot in the current job.  Others will use the discussion to soak up tips from the boss like a sponge and end up being much more engaged and motivated in their jobs.

Performance reviews might not ever be fun, but they can be effective and powerful ways of creating more loyalty among team members when they’re done right.

Mark Zuckerberg and his succesfull Facebook

What the CIA failed to do in 60 years, Zuck has done in 7: knowing what 800 million people--more than 10% of the world's population--think, read and listen to, plus who they know, what they like and where they live, travel, vote, shop, worship. U.S. users spend more time on Facebook--on average 6.3 hours a month--than on any other site. The Harvard dropout is now creating his own monetary system, ­Facebook Credits, to facilitate transactions and profits. With a net worth of $17.5 billion, he is now America's 14th-richest man.
2011 Highlight: The movie inspired by his life, The Social Network, which depicts Zuckerberg as a coldhearted dweeb, won 3 Oscars.

President Obama: A One-Termer

 Americans are not an envious people. They want a President who is working to remove barriers to progress rather than playing the blame game. Ronald Reagan was a positively transformative President who understood the basic, forward looking optimism of Americans. You never found him whining about the terrible troubles he had inherited. All this is why President Obama will be a one-termer. The Republican presidential race is topsy-turvy, but from the process a credible candidate will emerge. Perhaps it will be Rick Perry, whom I have endorsed, or perhaps someone else. But the nominee will be taking the oath of office just about a year from now.

Terry azidi Kuungua kwa Mafuta yake

British police said Tuesday they have launched an investigation into claims that Chelsea and England captain John Terry racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.
Terry has strongly denied hurling a racist slur at Ferdinand during the stormy west London derby at Loftus Road on October 23.
"Police were notified of an incident on Sunday 23rd October involving alleged racial abuse," a Scotland Yard spokesman told AFP.
"This is currently being investigated by officers from Hammersmith and Fulham."
Police had earlier said only that they were assessing a complaint from a member of the public.
The claims against Terry emerged after video footage circulated on the Internet appearing to show the England star using racist language.
Terry denied abusing Ferdinand, saying the footage had been misconstrued.
Ferdinand on Monday spoke out for the first time about the row, saying he had "very strong feelings" about the incident which is also the subject of a Football Association investigation.

Kazi Ipo Kesho uwanja wa Taifa

Watani wa Jadi

TAMBO, matumaini, hofu zimetanda miongoni mwa wapenzi na mashabiki wa timu kubwa mbili, Yanga na Simba zinazokwaana keshokutwa kwenye Uwanja wa Taifa, Dar es Salaam katika mechi ya Ligi Kuu.

 Juzi na jana, minong'ono zaidi ilikuwa kwa wapenzi wa Yanga kuzungumzia hatua ya uongozi kubadili benchi la ufundi katikati ya ligi na pia kuelekea katika mechi ngumu ya mahasimu.

Yanga ambayo ndiyo mwenyeji wa mchezo huo, ilimwondoa Sam Timbe katika benchi la ufundi na nafasi yake kuchukuliwa na Kosta Papic, ambaye ataliongoza jahazi la Yanga hadi mwisho wa msimu.

Mwananchi ilifanya mahojiano na wadau mbalimbali juu ya mpambano huo, na mmoja wao ni mchezaji wa zamani wa Yanga na Taifa Stars, Kitwana Manara aliyesema kwa uzoefu wake, mechi ya Simba na Yanga inaweza kuongozwa na mtu yoyote hata kama hana taaluma ya ukocha.

Manara ambaye alitamba zaidi katika medani ya soka kwenye miaka ya 60  na 80 alisema kutokana na hali hiyo hatashangwazwa kuona timu ya Yanga ikifanya vizuri katika mchezo wake wa Jumamosi dhidi ya Simba japokuwa imelifanyia mabadiliko  benchi lake la ufundi wakati ikiwa na mchezo mugum mbele yake.

Wakati Manara akisema hayo, baadhi ya wapenzi na mashabiki wa Yanga katika vijiwe mbalimbali, wanaonekana kujawa na hofu kwa timu yao kufanya vibaya kwa kile walichodai kuwa Simba wapo vizuri na wameonyesha kiwango cha hali ya juu.

Katika kutia chachu, Mwenyekiti wa Simba, Ismail Aden Rage amewataka mashabiki wa timu hiyo kujitokeza kwa wingi 'kuisapoti' timu yao iondoke na ushindi dhidi ya Yanga huku beki wake, Victor Costa akiwatoa wasiwasi.

Rage aliiambia Mwanachi jana kuwa ana imani na kikosi na kuahidi kuweka heshima ya kutofungwa hadi kumalizika mzunguko wa kwanza.

Wakati Rage akisema hayo, wajumbe wa kamati ndogondogo za timu hiyo yenye maskani yake Mtaa wa Msimbazi, jana jioni walipeleka baraka kwa wachezaji wao waliopiga kambi Bamba Beach Kigamboni kujiandaa kwa mchezo huo.

Makamu Mwenyekiti wa Simba, Godfrey Nyange 'Kaburu' alisema kuwa kamati zinakwenda kuzungumza na wachezaji kuwapa mawili, matatu kuelekea kwenye mchezo huo.

Naye kocha wa Simba, Moses Basena alisema kuwa anatamani mchezo huo uwe kesho kwa jinsi alivyojiandaa vizuri na kikosi chake kipo kamili kwa mchezo huo.

"Kulikuwa na tatizo kidogo upande wa mabeki lakini nimelimaliza na Victor Costa amerudi baada ya kuwa mgonjwa kwa hiyo sina wasi wasi," alisema Basena.

Alisema ingawa lolote linaweza kutokea katika mpira kwa kuwa hautabiriki lakini uhakika wa kushinda ni mkubwa.

Mbali na Simba, uongozi wa Yanga umeimarisha ulinzi mara dufu kwenye kambi ya timu hiyo kabla ya mpambano huo wa keshokutwa kwa kile kilichoelezwa kuhofia kuhujumiwa.

Ofisa habari wa Yanga, Luis Sendeu alisema kuna tetesi za hujuma kupenyezwa kwa wachezaji ili timu ifanye vibaya keshokutwa. Yanga inaingia kambini leo kwenye Hoteli ya Courtyard Protea iliyopo Upanga, Dar es Salaam.

Alisema kutokana na hali hiyo, wamepiga marufuku baadhi ya makundi ya watu kuhudhuria mazoezi yanayoendelea Shule ya Kimataifa ya Tanganyika, IST, Masaki ikiwa ni pamoja na kusogelea kambi ya timu hiyo ambayo awali ilikuwa Makao Makuu ya klabu hiyo Mitaa wa Twiga na Jangwani.

"Hali hii ya hujuma inatutisha sana, ndio maana tumeamua tuimarishe ulinzi wa timu na tuipeleke sehemu nyingine na yeyote atakayethubu kupenyeza mbinu chafu tukimbaini atachukuliwa hatua kali.

Yanga itashuka dimbani ikiwa na kumbukumbu ya kunyukwa mabao 2-0 kwenye mchezo wa Ngao ya Jamii na katika mzunguko wa pili msimu uliopita iliyochezwa Machi 5 mwaka huu timu hizo zilitoka sare ya 1-1 na kwenye fainali ya Kombe la Mapinduzi Simba waliwanyuka Yanga mabao 2-0.

Katika hatua nyingine, tiketi za mpambano huo wa watani, zitaanza kuuzwa kesho katika maeneo mbalimbali jijini kwa mujibu wa Katibu Mkuu wa TFF, Angetile Osiah.
