Topic: Champions League Semi-Finals: April 26th-27th

[Heighwayondawing]

Embarrassing from Real. If Jose thought he was getting stick before...

[Kahuna{=}Berger]

Anyway, happy that the Francoista's are missing out on No. 10.

[rushyman]

To the dumbasses who are wondering why people love Barca, it's because they are the best team ever.

Spot fucking on

[DangerScouse]

Yes, and if you've read the last few pages you'll notice that the few voices moaning about the match are being rapidly drowned in a sea of Messi induced jizz.

He was quality though, and he, if very few others, does deserve the plaudits without any qualifications.

And thankfully that shite spectacle was saved by his brilliance.

[Aristotle]

Cause obviously you would go out and try and play Barcelona at their own game.  Cause that would obviously work 

You don't normally. But is it really that hard to understand people complaining that Real have spent over €300 million to park the bus?

[PJG]

Yeah how stupid, why try and play football in a football match.  Best to landmine and barbwire your half of the pitch and watch the seconds tick by.

No,.  I think diving and face clutching and waving imaginary cards at the ref at every opportunity is how you win a football match.

[Johnnyboy1973]

Cause obviously you would go out and try and play Barcelona at their own game.  Cause that would obviously work 

I didn't say that did I?

But, I would attempt to offer more control than Real did tonight.

Or you could go with their tactics tonight cos that obviously worked.

[Samee]

I bet you're right. I also bet the same people were also on Rafa's case for playing anti football. They are no hypocrites, after all.

Rafa had us playing some of the best football I've ever seen thank you very much.

[rushyman]

Mourinho's tactics tonight:

HAHA. Fuckin brilliant

[Breitner]

Sure he did...

If you roll it on you see there's no contact (other than Alves's hands reaching for his face. Joke).

[Butter Keks]

I can't believe people there are people disputing that red card. You can't go around launching almost knee-high studs up challenges ? Got the ball my arse

Messi's second goal was sensational, but the one shining moment in an otherwise terrible CL Semi Final 1st leg - Looking forward to Valdano's scathing criticism tomorrow in the paper.... (as if, the hypocritical c*nt)

I cant believe anyone thought it was a red. No doubt his foot was high but there was little impact on Alves proven by the fact that he was running around a few seconds later. Then again it was a stupid challenge to even think about in a game of that importance.

[RedGuy]

I am actually agreeing with you!!

oh


Btw, does anyone know if Ronaldo was crying at the end of the match??

Sure he did...

You do realise that's after they both got the ball and that in that photo he isn't even touching him?

SMD watching the replay of Messi's second goal

[Red Viper]

So we can't see any bloody interviews!! Fuck off itv with your shite coverage.

[AnotherSpanishfan]

No,.  I think diving and face clutching and waving imaginary cards at the ref at every opportunity is how you win a football match.

Which they don't lack either

[givemekaliber]

Absolute fucking disgrace both sides for the disrespect, cheating and play acting. Supposed to be two of the worlds best clubs and showing an example. From management team to full squad. Total disgrace. Watching it with my young son and even he was commenting on the cheating and surrounding the referee. Get to fuck both of them

[tea_tree]

Sure he did...

Well said. Not a red card

[DougLFC94]

I hope UEFA allow the irate Madrid players to take out their hostility on the 'constantly chirpy' Adrian Chiles.

[DangerScouse]

Don't you both know, Barca are the gods who are sent from heaven to make us wank in our pants every time we see them.

I can bet that some on here will cheer a Barca goal against Liverpool claiming that at least it is a beautiful football played there.

Enough of the hyperbole ffs. You've a serious soft spot for Real, they lost, get fucking over it.

[MichaelA]

That second goal was just beautiful.

[Purdy]

If you roll it on you see there's no contact (other than Alves's hands reaching for his face. Joke).

Both feet of the ground, high foot. Red card.

[sisterbliss]

Mourinho's tactics tonight:

Stop it 

[Ambrosia]

Rafa had us playing some of the best football I've ever seen thank you very much.

Yes he did. He was also not against being pragmatic when it was warranted.

[AnyGivenSunday]

The sending off was bollocks and the game was disappointing overall apart from Messi's second goal.  But as long as the winner of this semi wins at Wembley, that's all I care about.

[Dr Manhattan]

I bet you're right. I also bet the same people were also on Rafa's case for playing anti football. They are no hypocrites, after all.

Like the anti-football we played to smash the living shite out of your beloved Real Madrid you mean?

I bet you cried your fucking colon out.

[Scarlet`]

Well said. Not a red card

Not in a million years

[rushyman]

Dear Jose...



THAT

IS

A

RED

[Aristotle]

I bet you're right. I also bet the same people were also on Rafa's case for playing anti football. They are no hypocrites, after all.

Liverpool 4 - 0 Real Madrid, Liverpool 5 - 0 Aston Villa, Manchester United 1 - Liverpool 4.

With a team that cost less than Ronaldo. Give me a fucking break

[TipTopKop]

SMD watching the replay of Messi's second goal

I remember that from last year's playoffs      still no idea what he was thinking !!

[Heighwayondawing]

Rafa had us playing some of the best football I've ever seen thank you very much.

Seriously, when is that shit going to stop? Yes, he set up defensively at times, but why doesn't anyone remember things like LFC 4 - Real 0

[AnotherSpanishfan]

If you roll it on you see there's no contact (other than Alves's hands reaching for his face. Joke).

Right, i missed the part of the rule where you have to wait until you hear the crack of a tibia fracturing until you produce a red card.

[Slick_Beef]

If you roll it on you see there's no contact (other than Alves's hands reaching for his face. Joke).

There doesn't need to be contact for it to be a foul if the ref things it was a dangerous challenge

[Butter Keks]

To the dumbasses who are wondering why people love Barca, it's because they are the best team ever.

dumbasses? are you an American lad?

They might play some of the best football ever but its hard to deny they are horrible play acting cheating bastards. Not that Real are any better mind.

[Mr F]

Gordon Strachan is an absolute idiot 

[JackWard33]

If you roll it on you see there's no contact (other than Alves's hands reaching for his face. Joke).

Contact isn't necessary for a sending off

[TipTopKop]

question peeps, if someone picks up a 2nd yellow in the 2nd leg are they out of the final ? or is there some amnesty rule ?

[Jimmy Jazz]

No post-match argy bargy? Dissapointing.

[PJG]

I didn't say that did I?

But, I would attempt to offer more control than Real did tonight. 

Or you could go with their tactics tonight cos that obviously worked.

depends.  how many clear cut opportunities did Barca get before the red card?  And yes you're right.  Real madrid didn't have many either and probably should have played have played with more control.  Both were a  pile a shite

[Rohit]

question peeps, if someone picks up a 2nd yellow in the 2nd leg are they out of the final ? or is there some amnesty rule ?

They are out.

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

I bet you're right. I also bet the same people were also on Rafa's case for playing anti football. They are no hypocrites, after all.

If that was Rafa who was coaching Inter for example and his players played defensive, everybody on here would go on about the tactical genius of him, but since it is Mourinho (who I don't like BTW) the logic goes out of the window.

Enough of the hyperbole ffs. You've a serious soft spot for Real, they lost, get fucking over it.

How do you know, I'm not complaining about the result rather the attitude on here that makes you think Barca are the fucking Gods. BTW I congratulated every Barca supporting mate I know.
