The last two into the semis

[moron]

We don't want Roma because their name is written on the cup, Juve because they are clever hard to beat Italians, Sevilla because Moreno.

If results go the wrong way tonight we will have gone from 'no-one wants Liverpool' to 'Liverpool want no-one'

Yeah I love your post - could not agree more. That said - I cannot believe that we beat Man City 5-1 on aggregate - it just does not sound correct and to be honest does not resonate in my head like the big wins we had against the other teams prior to City, but we did that somehow. Feels like a dream.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Ramos was missed by Real but I fancy us big time against Real

These little bad boys

I remember the dimply strips peeling off those.

 

[gene hughes]

I had yellow and blue ones. Loved them.

 

[Mystic]

We need to sign Neves, he looks incredible.

 

[Halmeister]

The ref didn't play anywhere near enough added time in that Real match.

 

[Piedro]

How? The penalty was given 2 mins 45 in. Added time was 3 mins.

So fifteen seconds left when the pen was given.

He played exactly the right amount.

 

[King Binny]

Could prove decisive.

 

[Zlate]

Never a penalty, Juve were robbed. There is literally a feather like touch, you don’t pay that at 3-3 in the 92nd minute. Disgraceful from Oliver

While I think it was a definite penalty and Buffon deserves to be sent off, this is a brilliant post-match interview.

A quality referee does not destroy the dream of a team that has put everything on the field for 90 minutes,” he fumed to Mediaset Premium. “He wanted to play the part of the protagonist.

“A human being cannot whistle for an incident so doubtful after a game like that, unless you have a garbage bin instead of a heart. If you do not have personality, you should be in the stands eating chips with your family. This referee did not have the courage or the personality for this level.

“I could’ve told the referee anything at that moment, but he had to understand the degree of the disaster he was creating. If you can’t handle the pressure and have the courage to make a decision, then you should just sit in the stands and eat your crisps.

"If you don't have the personality needed for certain levels, it's better to watch the game in the stand with your wife, maybe eating chips. It's a question of the kind of sensitivity that every man must have, knowing whether to officiate or not. It means not knowing where you are, what teams are playing. In practice, it means you don't know shit."

We will be furious when stepping on to the pitch in Serie A this weekend. Furious.”

My God, that's good.

He mentioned eating chips 3 times. Angry and hungry?

 

[Molbystwin]

The one good thing about that Madrid result was that it made Guardiola’s week even worse.

It would be nice for him and for us if footballing revenge is paid out onto Spurs this weekend...

 

[Molbystwin]

It was certainly a very soft pen.... but I would have been fuming if it was against one of our players and not given...

No worries...

If we can beat City we can beat any of the remaining teams left in the tournament.

Penalty all day long for me.

There's been 3 or 4 of us saying this for half a season now! Even a thread on him somewhere.

The consensus of opinion across the media seems to be that it was the correct decision. Hands on, foot around the player fails to make contact with the ball and denies the attacker a shooting opportunity from 3m out and a near certain goal.

That's BS really and just his passion speaking. If anything the opposite is true, balls of steel to not only give the penalty but to send Buffon off too.

That should’ve been directed at his own player. No way should he have attempted that tackle. It was a pen all day long.

It was a sure goal if no challenge was made, more certain than even a penalty

 

[MomoWASright]

Hardly. Who is to know if he was to slice it.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Wow, this is reminiscent of Zidane’s red card in the WC. What an end to Buffon’s CL career!

"How do I imagine my last ever game? Maybe I'll go out like Zidane, head-butting someone on the pitch!"
Buffon, last year.

 

[Oncy]

I didnt watch the game and just saw that clip. How ANYONE can say that isnt a pen is beyond me. Also is Benatia a giant or the other lad a midget?

What did Buffon do?

 

[Oncy]

I had yellow and blue ones. Loved them.

I had yellow ones. The rubber was the same shit they put on ping pong paddles.

 

[MomoWASright]

I had those too.

When I was involved at Sunday league level I had Adidas gloves with the “exoskeleton” which saved my fingers from being broken on many occasions.

 

[Insignificance]

Never a pen. Fuck that ref.

 

[Athens]

As much as I hate Real that was a pen. You can't go in like that and not expect to give a penalty away.

 

[Jack D Rips]

As a matter of interest did the English referee book Ronaldo for taking his shirt off?
