Other Games 18/19 Season

Was ****ing horrific that, I'm still shocked a straight red card wasn't out of that refs pocket within seconds. ****ing useless.

Didn't see the match, but have read alot of whining about the ref that he didn't send Kimpembe off, seems like Pogba was fortunate as well.

Di Maria having bottles thrown at him last night then picked one up and pretending to have a drink.

[Pablo]

That Pogba tackle looks far worse as a still image that it was in reality. It's a **** trick others have used to make our players tackles look bad in the past.

He fully deserved his red anyway as they were two nailed on yellows.

If Alves's foot is on the floor that is a potential leg breaker. Nothing less than a straight red should have been given

[Pablo]

In that picture yeah it looks horrific, but when you watch it, he was side on and it kind of glances him. It isn't quite that bad. I think it probably is a straight red, but it's marginal.

I just think using a still picture is manipulative and a ****house move.

[Kenneth]

Correct. Booking was a reasonable outcome imo, but he couldn't have complained with a straight red. Ashley young should have been off with a second yellow for the push, no doubt about that.

Ashley Young should've been binned as well for trying to argue Pogba got the ball, captain or not.

Yep. Was ****ing horrendous. He did one the other week and got away with it too. Nasty little cunt.

Ajax are fantastic to watch, so unlucky not to win that game and instead get done with a sucker goal at the end.

Does their centre back look good for us

Had a good game alright, excellent in the air, had good all round game, impressed. Fantastic side to watch and rotten luck they didn't beat Madrid. I think they'll score at the Bernabeu but so will Madrid. Ajax though up there with the most exciting teams to watch in Europe... pity they'll get dismantled during the summer as per usual.

And in the shameless dickhead department comes the news that Sergio Ramos freely admits to intentionally picking up a yellow card during the match, so that his slate will be wiped clean should Real make it through to the next round.

If UEFA had any balls they'd ban him for the next round. That'll teach the cunt!

Funny as **** if we get to the next round and they're drawn with us.

[danperkins]

He plays for Real Madrid so they will do absolutely nothing about it.

Sergio Ramos: Real Madrid defender investigated by Uefa for booking comments

Uefa is investigating comments from Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos after it was suggested he was booked on purpose late in Wednesday's Champions League last-16 first leg at Ajax.

Ramos fouled Kasper Dolberg in the 89th minute with Real leading 2-1, earning a suspension for the second leg.

A player who purposely obtains a booking can be banned for two games.

Ramos said suggestions he intentionally played for the yellow card "hurts", tweeting "I have not forced the card".

Earlier Ramos had told reporters he would "be lying if I said I didn't force [the booking]".

On Thursday, Uefa said: "A disciplinary inquiry has been opened in connection with the statements made by Real Madrid player Sergio Ramos."

The Spain international was making his 600th appearance for Los Blancos and his side secured a first-leg advantage through Marco Asensio's goal two minutes before the controversial booking.

Pundit Martin Keown said it was "very obvious" Ramos was looking to pick up a third booking in the competition to be banned for the second leg - a suspension at this stage greatly reduces the risk of missing a match later in the competition with all bookings wiped following the quarter-final stage.

"In a game there are many tensions, many sensations and many pulsations," Ramos tweeted. "You have to make decisions in seconds. The best of today is the result. The worst, not being able to be with my team-mates for a game."

Ramos' team-mate Dani Carvajal received a two-game ban from Uefa when he was judged to have been booked on purpose in the final minute of a 6-0 win over Apoel Nicosia in last season's tournament.

Ramos and former Real midfielder Xabi Alonso were both booked late on in a 3-0 quarter-final first-leg victory over Galatasaray in 2013.

Both players were also criticised in 2010, when they were booked and sent off in the final five minutes of a group game with Ajax, meaning they missed the next fixture, with Real already assured of progress to the knockout stage.
