Watching the replay when I get home from work.

Re: 2012-13 UEFA Champions League

Just watched the highlights so far.
Nani sent off for a high challenge .
Barely a yellow , gets a straight red.
Penalty not given with Ramos fouling Evra.
All that's missing is the brown paper bag.

The referee was poorly positioned for this decision and would have only seen Nani's raised leg... It was a guess and he shouldn't have done so.

I don't think the foul of Evra was worthy of a penalty either.

Even Craig Foster ( hardly a great advocate of British teams)
Said it was a penalty.

Was that the penalty chance that was in the 90th minute? If so I thought that was a penalty.

Also thought it was a straight red. Laughable IMO to say barely a yellow. Recklessly swinging his leg about and he caught someone in the chest. To then kick outonce you have made contact s lunacy. Nani certainly knew he was in trouble hence the rolling on the floor "injured"

Sometimes I wonder why they bother having any prelimary rounds at all whan EUFA so obviously only ever want Real Madrad and Barca in the final.

This morning's refereeing was almost as farcical as RVP being sent off at the Nou Camp a coupe of years ago for daring to score a millisecond after the ref blew his whistle two years ago.

Re: 2012-13 UEFA Champions League

Nani dangerous taekwondo kick/ tackle deserved red.

Instead how about the

No Call on the Rafael hand ball?
Or Real Madrid goal disallowed!!

Real beat the odds! Best team won

Over the 2 legs they had more possession, shots at goal and shots on target.

Yeah hey didnt happen it was all a conspiracy against Utd. Brown paper bags and all that.

That Rafael no call was a shocker. Pen and straight red.

Total rubbish on Nani. Unless he has eyes planted in the back if his head that's not a send off.
Personally don't care if you hate united( I'd be worried if you didn't)
But that is not a send off . As for the handball and goal disallowed I can't comment because I haven't seen it.Taped it and will watch it shortly.

Chelsea Barcelona game as well.
Unfortunately people's blind hatred for all things United knocks out any common sense in people. The send off changed the game

Give me a break. He through his leg up to at the ball.
He didn't know the Madrid player was there

Yep Remi, in the words of Drogba it was a f#####g disgrace.

Not a red(only yellow) and should have been a penalty IMO. The Ref ruined the contest.

Who cares what he knew? Intent doesn't matter and never has.

He threw his leg up in the air and kicked a guy in the chest

Re: 2012-13 UEFA Champions League

Would you be happy for that to be a red every week?
