The footy !!

it's one of the most cringeworthy displays of 'football' i've ever seen.

It was barely a free kick, let alone a red card.

And at every opportunity, Madrid trying to even things up.


Supposed to be a European Cup Semi Final. I'll stick with my English Championship thanks, at least it's honest.
 
Ferd doesn't like the fact I mention this at every opportunity - but just how embarrassing is the play-acting?! It's become a running gag.
It frightens me that one of the best (if not THE best) league in the World, and their supporters, put up with it. Let's not beat around the bush, it's cheating. It's pretty much the lowest form of cheating to be found in the game and it makes it incredibly hard for the neutral to watch.
Some of the best footballers ever to have lived, allowing this nonsense to be part of their game.

I agree the falling like you were shot and rolling around is over the top. The red card was way harsh and it changed a poor match into a much sadder affair.
 
I laughed... but certainly not at Mourinho :lol:

I actually thought Rafa, for all his dickish statements, usually got the better of Mourinho in the press (by successfully trying to come off as somehow less catty despite the fact he was being just as bad as Jose). Used to really make me mad :lol:

thing is, he's totally bad for the game.

it's like tonight, you almost felt like he was glad they went down to 10, so he could moan about that again.

don't understand why so many like him, when he inspires such bad attitude. arbeloa was never 'the hitman' style player he is now, when he played for liverpool. why is he like that now?

his refusal to ever admit stuff simply justifies wrongs. he's a total hypocrite on refereeing and just a massive fcuker moaner.
 
ok I'll accept that busquets and alves are not to everyone's tastes :lol:

but pepe's red WAS fair - it was dangerous play

messi's goals = AMAZE

+

mourinho's face was a beaut

hugely entertaining games

virtually through

I'll have some of that! :D
 
Olly - that was never a red card any day of the week, at any level of football, in any country.

If that's a red, you'd end a game with 2 V 2 every week.
 
madrid should be down to 8, it's rubbish

pepe's a thug, he's tried to do several barça players in the last 3 games. what is it they say about things balancing out in the game.

it's the other **** they get away with.....sergio ramos and marcelo and arbeloa are fcuking criminal. carvalho should be getting done for gbh every game.

of course barça have their bad side, alves and busquets are cringe a lot of the time.....but the odd playacting or deliberately going out to fcukin smash someone or just hurt them intentionally. bad form.

they get given every week all over the world like that.

you hang a foot around like that and arrive late, it's asking for trouble
 
You'll struggle to find any non-Barca fan who thought that was a red card.


Messi lit up a very poor game with that goal. We're running out of superlatives for him.

this is the point though, loads get given like that. i don't think half the free kicks that get given in a game are free kicks, but i realise that's what's accepted as a free kick by most men in black.

D

dull as ditchwater in large parts tonight?

adebayor should have gone, diarra could have.

pepe kept his leg straight deliberately when following through, irrespective of diving the intention was to - if he hit him - hurt him & thats should be a red?

anyway, swings and roundabouts etc lucky it was only 1 sent of.
 
so mourinho is basically saying barcelona should be ashamed of everything they've achieved.

he's saying guardiola's victories in champions league the other year and possibly this year will mean nothing compared to his victories because he didn't cheat with porto or inter.

pr!ck
