***city v barca official match thread***

[Ted Hughes]

Absolute pile of fucking stinking shite. Utterly disgusted.

Fucking bottled it from the kickoff against a very beatable team. Pass pass pass, there you go City, have the ball, we'll all stand here and leave you 70% of the pitch to run at. Oh no Barca, we couldn't possibly, here, have the ball back & try again.


Waste of a fucking evening. Wankers.

I think City invited that result. They gave too much respect from the start and only really showed what they are capable of when 0-1 and down to 10.
If they had fought for each ball from the off Barca would have shrank like they did v Bayern last year.

City are capable enough, not sure they yet believe themselves.

0-2 at half time.

Time to get serious and stop pussy footing around and go and surprise them with some fast direct play in their own gaff as though they are not even on the pitch.

Bayern did it and so can City.

Did you copy that from another forum that wasn't a City one?

'City', 'They', I'm not sure I've ever referred to us as 'They' or 'City' in such context.

Must admit I thought that

[getdressedmctavish]

Don't think Ted's happy,lol

Don't think Ted's happy,lol

I was thinking that.

[whiskers]

is it me or the drink or was the ref cat?

[Lee_R]

Come on peeps... 2-0 at half time.

[Im_Spartacus]

Don't come with that last man crap. I've seen those tackles waved 'play on ', many many times.

Oh it's Messi ? We aren't allowed to go near him ?

Yes, it way a foul , but a red card ? No way.

A yellow at most .

He took him out? What the fuck was Messi supposed to do when he is tripped up. If Demi hadn't hacked him, he would have had a goal scoring opportunity, and denying that by foul play is a red card.

You have some odd perspectives on the rules if you think otherwise.

[Tru_Blu]

The only difference today between us and them.
1. Aguero
2. CB to replace Dem

Enjoyed the test I did.

Look he did foul him , but hack ? Give over he's too old and slow for that.

And the fact that they can pass the ball under pressure and maintain control of a big game. Our possession in comparison was shit.

It's irrelevant. Denying a clear goalscoring opportunity by a foul is a rad card offence, especially if the offender was last man. Read the rules.
How can you possibly say that's not a red card?

True,3-1 puts us through.
I didn't think they were all that tbh.

pressure is off us now,play our game who knows.

DIMmichellis wont be on the pitch either.

I knew you couldn't possibly think that.
Many people think it's too harsh and that the law needs reforming but as it stands, that was a red card every day of the week.

Sorry Pellers the game plan was wrong from the start, fuck all wrong going long and doing things that Barca hate. Not over but we missed a chance tonight. Bay earn and PSG will smash Barca.

We sat back. It makes it easier to pass the ball around.

Agree, Lescott should have started- mistake numer 1, kolarov shouldn't - mistake number 2.
