Champs League Semi final 1st leg

[Rag_hater]

Although I think Barça are a bunch of twats I am kind of glad they won last night.
I think they will give them rag fuckers a good slap .
Real have fucked up their treble anyway.

Barca did a job on Madrid , good and proper. Refused to be drawn into Mou´s trap. Pepe could have broken Pedro´s leg with that tackle - had to go imo. The special one got his come-uppance

It was dani Alves and there was barely any contact. The diving, cheating cunts have tricked you too

My mistake! Doesn´t change the fact that it WAS a straight red ( barely touched him? almost ripped his leg off!)and that Barca well and truly turned the tables on Mou

Barca decided to out-Jose Jose, and it worked. Alas, sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

Maybe Pepe's red was a bit soft, but Madrid got away with a few.

Who wants Jose to be their manager now? RM will get rid in summer. I think he'll have to rebuild his reputation if he's ever going to get another top job.

dont get me wrong I'm not a great fan of Barca, nor Real or Moaninho. But i will say that apart from Alves the Catalans are normally not too theatrical.. no more than a lot of other teams for instance. However Real, especially under M are a total bunch of do anything to win cheating clunts.
Having watched that game it seemed pretty clear what the tactics were and it was also clear that Real and M set out to try and destroy any football being played and play it up in front of their home support. I'm afraid that playing theatrics instead of football by Real gave Barca really little option but to counter it with their own.. so in the end imo they gave as good as they got from Real and beat them at both their own game and the football.

touché i would say and a big fuck off to Mourinho, a sad and bad loser.. reminds me of the rags and arsenal, i really really hope to fucl that City never turn into that kind of team or club.

- the other plus is that the rags might have given Real a decent game, whereas they will get annihilated by Barca probably more than last time.

I really want us to win something but i've decided I cannot and will not watch negative shit like they produced last night. I actually felt a bit sorry for Ronaldo, with that talent a coach should be getting the best out of him. That game made him look average at best (and a bit more honest than the rest of those spanish cunts).

Mourinho is tasked with winning for Real and short term the way to do it is park the bus and as they tire go for a late goal. Like any manager he does need time to build and shape a side that can at least begin to compete with Barca who were some 5 years in the making and have an unrivalled understanding and a philosophy of playing football that has been patiently nurtured and cultivated and allied to having some of the best players on the planet. Jose just turning up and pressing a button isn't going to cut it especially as you have Real's philosophy of changing the manager and adding yet more players to the squad every season.

I think Real will stick with Jose because in reality there isn't anywhere else to go and they are desperate to eclipse Barca. Jose can point to his second year at Inter when he did beat Barca and in the first leg did attack. What other options do Real have? Another coach - well who? Yet more players - more upheaval and a repeat of the mistakes of the past 5 years.

The key is the Real fans who so far are buying into the Barca conspiracy and seem to support Jose in this fight against the 'forces of evil' bollocks which whilst bollocks does crank up the siege mentality for next season and creates the kind of atmosphere that Mourinho thrives on.

Getting the best out of Ronaldo or whoever is nice but of no practical use if you end up second best every season. Jose is all about the team, discipline and working hard. You get that right first and then build on it and allow more creative talents to flourish. Get all these elements right and you have Barca who are very creative but very disciplined and where everyone works for the team. The answer for Real is right in front of them. And for us as well.

That is not true. Pedro & Busquets are well known face clutching reoffenders. They are even critisized by their own fans as not being worthy of the shirt. Valdes running 50 yards just to crowd the ref was not a first either. In fact the whole lot likes doing The Fabregas when it's not going according to plan.

Of course, Pepe & Ramos would slaughter a newborn if they could get away with it.

The tackle did look bad. Seems a referee on the pitch can't see what the cameras see.

Intent is sufficient mate - Pepe had no chance of getting to the ball. He knew exactly what he was doing

I agree. There should be no referee on the pitch. He should instead be sat beside you watching your magical TV. Much better view... as we ALL know at this stage :)

At last.
How do you explain the referee's mistake that the camera's have shown.
Maybe having him sat next to me might slow him down a bit as I would probably distract him.
But to be serious I think having an extra pair of eyes that have access to anything the camera sees cannot be a bad thing and direct contact with the man in charge on the pitch.

Oh I'm not doubting the intent, just picking you up on the leg ripping off!

Drive him to distraction more like :)

Yeah, it needs to be addressed. Football can only be analysed and refereed at 100% by watching on TV and in the flesh.
