Clichy...

Next season we must find a Clichy who can cross

 

[Mr. Aguia]

Don't blame the ref. Wasn't a foul on Navas, def pen and def red card. Just incredibly frustrating that that was their first real chance, and now they'll probably get a couple more now.

Navas call was debatable and it was outside the box.

If the Navas decision was the other way round, you know the ref would have given it to Barcelona, he's been doing it all night. And I don't know why everybody is blaming MDM, it was Kompany who was out of position and played Messi onside. MDM had no real choice but to try and make a challenge in that situation.

But if MDM was asleep in defence he would have seen Messi was going in all alone before it happened. I could see it from my couch. He got lazy assuming there was going to be a foul called. No point in making that tackle. He was never going to get the ball. The only outcome was always going to be a red card.

Please explain how the fowl was outside the box and a penalty is given because he falls into the box.. Is the a new rule.

Foul for me looks inside the box. But really depends I guess.

For anyone who missed it. Staring at the picture for 5 minutes I can't figure out if it was a PK or not, can't blame the ref for making a heat of the moment decision that was possibly right.

Just can't see us scoring here.

If Kola was there he would have done something better

 

[andrewmswift]

THAT IS A BOOKING

 

[RandomJ]

Yet another foul no card. This ref is bent as fuck.

 

[andrewmswift]

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME THAT IS AN OBVIOUS CARD
