I think Pepe is a liability but there was no way that was a red; it was barely a yellow. Alves may be a wonderful player but I'm so gland we didn't nab him - it would turn my stomach to watch that kind of diving at Anfield. Pedro was a disgrace, Basquet's was ridiculous, Mascher's goading of Alonso reminded me what a prick he is....... I could go on and on. To be honest about the only one who wasn't diving everywhere in a Barca shirt was Messi - who, I might add, was unsighted until Pepe got marched.

Pepe's was definitely a yellow - without 'slow mo', it looks like a vicious tackle. Cleats up ... Red was probably harsh, but Pepe is a cunt and going by his history, I could care less if he gets a red every match for just breathing.
Pedro a disgrace? He went down once (like every player goes down in the box) and then gets stamped on after trying to score. He didn't ask for a card, he was just hurt. Why is he a disgrace? Busquets always does this stuff - I think our future Kop hero (Suarez) has already done it once for us, and I somehow doubt anyone will be as harsh when he does it again (and again and again).
Puyol dived? Pique? Xavi?
Messi wasn't unsighted - he'd set up the best chance of the game (Xavi's shot), he just wasn't being as dominant because Jose was playing his 4 back, 3 DMs etc ...
Lastly, fuck Alonso too. Going to the ref to moan about 'diving' - Look at your own team before crying to the ref. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. I'm glad it didn't go Maureen's way - we don't need that cunt winning any more 'big trophies', his ego is big enough already.
