The Barcelona v Real Madrid thread

[Molby]

Ooof yeah. Did you ever see the tackle that ****ed Maradona's ankle when he was playing for Barca? the Butcher would have been out for 6 months for that tackle nowadays.

shocking tackle........

Well that was a crazy one to say the least.

Loads of tippy tappy **** from Barca 1st which you'd expect...no real clear opportunities created by either side.

That sending off was just pathetic really...totally killed the game. ****in hate Refs like that. I know Real have some cuntish players but so so Barca, none more so than Danny Alves...and Mascherano is a little ****er too...acting the hard man to Xabi and running at the ref every 2 minutes. Prick.

Messi is just incredible...what a player. He would need not get injured before the final.

[Shaggy]

He basically just did.

[Vermilion]

Plenty of play acting and diving, childishness, pre-game wind up's, managerial malarkey, disrespect, lies and half truths, stifled and angry players, outspoken selfishness...........oh, and some football.

So then......just another semi final involving a side managed by Maureen.

[McDermotX]

Loved Xabi being sent away like a bitch by the ref with his hand on his (possibly loaded) pocket.
Good to see

Truly evil tackle. Total hatchet job.

FLMAO I rest my case

I always remember my dad telling me about watching Pele in the flesh in the UK (at Hillsborough I think)

He said they booted Pele up and down the pitch for 80 minutes until he decided he'd had enough and ran the ball into the corner flag then as the defender came in to do him he side-stepped and then elbowed the player in the face breaking his nose

Pele could handle himself he was a tough lad as was Maradona

Actually Suarez reminds me a touch of Pele the way he runs at players and the ball ricochets off the defenders legs but he has so quick feet that hes able to bring it back under control again enabling him to go past them (see United). Pele use to do that a lot

Well, no, it wouldn't. Barca still would have won at home. And like I said before, the red card, whilst a bit harsh perhaps, was incidental of how Madrid play nowadays, especially against Barcelona. It's not bad luck, or a conspiracy that they continually get players sent off

I agree they are very physical and barca to be do play on that, but IMO it was a very harsh sending off.

Maybe Barca would have won the tie overall still but at 0-0 but the way he sets Madrid up against Barca on the counter and with Caravahlo back in the back line they could have snatched something.

We'll never know as the tie is dead IMO unless something nuts happens.

[McDermotX]

2 teams locked in dressing room and ordered to give no interviews ?

[Chris]

How the **** did Lassana Diarra avoid a booking/red in that match? He must have commited about 15 fouls but this will be forgotten in all the "ooo Pepe's red was so harsh" crap, Marcelo should be banned for that stamp aswell.

Mourinho: if i say what i think about uefa my career finishes here. But i leave a question, why?! Why Obrevo? Why tonight?

[Daniel 7]

Did I hear that Xabi Alonso was sent off after the whistle?

[Shaggy]

No, ref warned him to shut up or he would be.

[Rudo]

Mourinho: if i say what i think about uefa my career finishes here. But i leave a question, why?! Why Obrevo? Why tonight?

See that's the thing about having a **** ****in ref...gives Jose and other excuse/'everyone's against us' driven Managers a cop out.

[Arn]

Mourinho the best manager in the world, yeah right

**** tactics from him today. It also yet again showed Mourinhos short term thinking. The players isn't trained well enough so they can't cope pressing Barcelona all over the pitch two games in a week.

[Shaggy]

Barca are better now than they were two years ago, and the Mancs substantially weaker. Unless something incredibly spawny happens, Barca will murder them and I for one cannot ****ing wait to see that.
