Real Madrid (A) | Post Match Thread

Thank you everyone x

 

[Father Paul]

Just got home after a great trip, fantastic non-stop support in the stadium, great performance from the lads in oppressive heat, missed trains, missed flights and far too much Sangria.

Taken me hours to get through the thread and my piss has developed into an angry rolling boil.

Any TRUE blue who thinks that the result was anything but our best ever in the CL is fucking deluded. Controlled, mature, cold as ice efficiency. A performance that announced to the world that we're an elite team, the likes of which the PL has rarely produced. Reduced the famous Real Madrid to defending with low blocks and shithousery.

I doubt whether any of our newfound trolls and fanboys will remember Pellegrini's City and our pathetic surrender to RM in 2016, going out 0-0/0-1, shitting ourselves because we didn't really think we belonged.

Well, we fucking belong now, and Weds will confirm it to the footballing aristocracy, in spades.

Thanks for listening and UP THE FUCKING BLUES.

It was not a pathetic surrender by Pellers. We done well to get to the SF that year and might have won it with a bit of luck and but for an injury to Merlin. I broadly agree with the rest of your post.

Rodri's “foul” on Camavinga, minute 59. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with Rodri's challenge. He doesn't so much as touch his legs, not even a clip, he slightly shoulder charges him — allowed on the ball and all part of the game — and just calmly takes the ball away from him…

Now compare this 'foul' to the challenge which sent Grealish crashing into the hoarding and was deemed not to be a foul - the above decision becomes ever more ludicrous...

That was staggering. Jack was taking knocks right through the first half, by the way. Rudiger was dishing them out as well (although not to Håland, I think even he is not stupid enough to try that).

We did do well getting to the semis. Maybe ‘pathetic’ is too strong a word. But it was a performance lacking in so much ambition, I don’t blame the guy for using that word.

We see it against us all the time. Forest the classic example. A team just happy to hold on for dear life and hope they are still in the game with 10 minutes to go.

But you at least give it a bit of a go then.

It’s genuinely the only cup game I’ve seen in my life where a team is only one goal up and their players could be seen laughing and joking amongst themselves because they knew there was zero chance the other side were going to even mount a serious attack, never mind actually score.

Yeah, that’s why his cowardly assault on Ilkay was so cuntish. Go through the man that’s smaller than you but don’t dare try to go in on the lad that could absolutely smash you with one blow.

Ilkay is actually a strong player, though, who rides questionable challenges every match. But he’s also famously a level-headed player, who plays with Rudiger at international level, so the Butcher of Berlin knew he would likely get away with the ‘De Bruyne Welcome’ on him, which is even more cuntish!

Hope Ilkay has a word with him at the next international break.

I hope he takes a shit in the cunts boots.

"The ball was off the pitch," Ancelotti said. "The technology said it. I don't understand why VAR didn't check it. The referee didn't pay attention to many things tonight."

In between, a Real Madrid player, Camavinga, has gained full control of the ball. Then he lost it by giving a wrong pass.
So the build up play occurred AFTER that and after that everything were valid. That's what the VAR procedure is, checking the build up play of the attacking team. What had happened before Camavinga/Real M. had the ball is irrelevant. Perhaps they want to check previous 15 minutes also? This is not how it works. Real Madrid had the ball and lost it. So VAR does not check anything before that.

So I do not even understand what Ancelotti was saying or what morons on BT were saying.

Still feel like this was an excellent result. Tough place to go with the crowd whistling for everything, their players diving everywhere and the refs usually obliging.

Bring them back to our place for a one game playoff and treat the cunts in the same manner. Surely it's good the for the CL if the same team doesn't win it every year?!

Exactly what I have said throughout this and a few other related threads.
