I'm praying for an English wipe out from the CL

Yeah its funny, but shocking decision, hugely so. Just checked the replay, the ref did NOT give permission to take it, I'll describe what I saw after he ruled indirect freekick , Fabianski is holding the ball, Porto players wants to take it from him, he refuses, the ref comes up to him, takes the ball, is holding the ball, looking away from the goal while doing this, the Porto player, all he needed to do was this: Take the ball from the refs arms, not be given but take it, then pass it 1m to Falcao who easily taps it in. Then the ref just turns around and signals with his arm for the goal? I dont see how this is allowed?
I seen tons of quick freekicks been taken and suprising the fuck out of teams, in fact Henry with arsenal did it the most, but in those cases, the ref gives the go to the freekick taker, and its the defenders not being prepared, they eventually adapted and all became prepared as soon as freekicks are given. In this, I cant see him doing that at ALL, all I see is the ball being taken frpm him, nothing else of giving permisssion.

then jovetic :depressed
i think it is the same with the the indirect vs. direct freekicks ... the referee has to indicate if its a direct or indirect freekick via a gesture and the same goes for if the referee wants to give-free the freekick via whistleing or if he allows quick freekicks ... so its pretty much up to the ref
on the breakdown, I will have to check the highlights after the game to see that.
