Re: Manuel Pellegrini's post-Barca comments.
I'd agree. His whistle- happy performance did no favours to the team that dominated possession, either. It's just they got the rub of the green, regarding his incompetence (on the night, at least), rather than his " being in awe" of them - in my humble etc.
Worth pointing out that Pelligrini's words - regardless of any forthcoming (& deserved) punishment probably ought to be a positive (from our point of view) influence on the ref for the 2nd leg. (Presumably, it'll be a different chap - and not another Swede).
toffee balls said:He is a fuckin shite ref....end of.
All about him right from the first minute.
A twat of the highest order and equally as bad for both teams.
