I will probably be banned for this but... Footie Thread

Barcelona deserved it though, In my opinion on goals it was 1-1 but I think one penalty was correct so thats 2-1, and the many more chances Barca had deserves the 3-1.

I hope Chelsea can make it through, be interesting to see how they deal with barca, as I feel Chelsea aren't really that strong at the moment.

My analysis: :o

1st penalty: stupid Milan defender + right decision from the ref
2nd penalty: stupid Milan defender + stupid ref

Overall, for a second time it wasn't the performance I expected from Barca. I hope they improve before the semi finals.

Not Benfica or Chelsea have the ability to match Barca over two legs.

Bayern versus Real Madrid will be a great Semi-Final.

2nd penalty was soft + we never got to see proper replays...Add Busquets and I am always nervous due to his play-acting ability. Of course he will meet his master Drogba in the semis. This time I want to see Barça destroy Chelsea unlike the heart-stopping semi-final of 2009

2nd penalty was a joke, if Milan went to the break with 1-1 we would have seen a different match in the 2nd half. However still think Barca deserved, but it's time referee stops to help them...they don't need it :rolleyes:

Btw nice to hear from you again Storm ;)

You know how you could get rid of most of the shirt pulling? Massive mickey mouse gloves. Or better yet, straight jackets for all players except goalies. ;)

straight jackets for all Italian players :up:
Remember Tassotti '94 ? :p

even my brother-in-law (a Real fanatic :eek: ) saw it as a clear penalty... a joke, a stupid one, but tug a guy's shirt like that inside the area in front of the ref and you should know you risk it being called.
And it makes up for the ones not awarded in Milan ;) :p

Just a second before that there was a fault by Puyol but the referee only saw what he wanted to see...the penalty in Barca favour. I repeat myself, congrats Barca but it's time referee stops to help them, it's happent too many times in the last 5 years !
