UEFA Champions League Continued 2015/16

[The Waugh Twins]

Two very soft yellow cards. Typical namby pamby European referee.

Or are they paid off? How many times have Barca played against 10?

If he hadnt been booked I think you would change your mind.... his foot is high and nowhere near the ball, its a yellow all the time and everytime, its just people give more leeway when a player is already booked

Barca don't need to play against 10 men, but perhaps the ref thought they were coming under a bit too much pressure for his liking so tried to tilt the balance!

[The Waugh Twins]

Just the way the ref got immediately excited as soon as the fowl was committed. No thought process there, no time to think it through.

How is Machereno not on a yellow? No consistency.

I thought he missed the ball by a fraction, got his timing slightly wrong, no malice, Barca player made the most of the challenge, soft yellow card for me. I thought the tackle which earned him his first booking was a bit soft as well, a bit of common sense from the referee to keep the game 11 v 11 surely.

That could be said of every Machereno game when hes not on a yellow.

[The Waugh Twins]

No I think Sussex is spot on, he always is.

You can see from the way the ref is prancing around the pitch that he fancies himself.

[The Waugh Twins]

All said and done, this has been a great effort from City. At the half I thought they were going to get rolled, but a fine comeback.

2-0 away win at the nou camp and they're home and hosed.

[The Waugh Twins]

What is it with 3 added minutes at the end of the second half 95% of the time and 1 minute after the first half 99% of the time?

This seems to me impossible, and that's not even going into the mathematical side of it.

[sussexpob]

Stupid tackle from Zabaleta

[budgetmeansbudget]

what was Bony doing?

[budgetmeansbudget]

Messi's rubbish.

[yuppie]

Messis crap, seriously, that header was crap
