BobbyBiscuit Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sounds like the ref has made a cunt of it in the Arsenal game. aye, very harsh sending off. There was 1 second between the whistle going and RVP hitting the shot and he booked him for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leith_red Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 aye, very harsh sending off. There was 1 second between the whistle going and RVP hitting the shot and he booked him for it. Interestingly, though, Fabergas heard the whistle immediately about 15/20 minutes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburghdon Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Sounds like the ref has made a cunt of it in the Arsenal game. Very harsh sending off but the better team won. Arsenal will probably feel hard done by but they were totally outclassed tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcorner Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I think VP heard the whistle fine. Of course he was gonna act dumb afterwards. His shot was very weak for someone who thought he was through on goal still. Still a harsh sending off regardless. Koscielny was lucky to stay on the park tonight too i thought. He booted the ball into the stand after the Arsenal equaliser which could well have merited a second yellow. Some cracking saves from Almunia stopped it being a more embarrassing scoreline.

baggy89 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I am no bottynal fan or follower. To suggest Van Persie's sending off was fair is akin to suggesting 99.9% of decisions in favour of the OF are fair, regardless of the numerous lesser decisions that all went one way tonight. Barcelona - The best team on the night, of the moment and possibly one of the best in history. Arsenal - An excellent footballing side cheated out of a chance to tactically defend their way into the quarter finals of the champions league. This is football not a competition to see who can play the prettiest and most passiest (sic), and if ever that was to be proved it was tonight, unfortunately we were denied by FIFA.

Kowalski Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't think the sending off made any difference. 0 shots on target says it all. Barca wiped the floor with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtS Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The sending off was ridiculous, and while Barca were far superior throughout there's no doubt the decision made Arsenal's job much harder. France wiped the floor with Scotland, but we still pinched a great result in Paris. The Gooners woz robbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I'm less sympathetic. They hear the whistle every other time? I remember Noel Whelan got booked for finishing a chance after he'd been ruled to have been offside. I think he heard it fine and he knew he was on a yellow. He should be more careful. Ultimately I doubt it'd have made a difference. And Fabregas gifting them their opener was highly amusing. Here was me thinking that having Fabregas and Van Persie back was meant to be a good thing!

manc_don Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I actually said to my gooner mate that it would be a good thing if Fabregas wasn't playing, because he never plays well against them. In fact I can't think of one good thing he has done when they've played against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think he's an overrated player already to be honest. On his day I think he's the best midfielder in the EPL. The problem he has is that he never properly recovers from his injuries, he is always rushed back and has hardly been fully fit all this season.

I agree, he's a fantastic player, never dirty, doesn't cheat. A good honest, skillful player. Well done to the Yids.

Other than what I see on MOTD that is but I guess I've just never seen him "on his day". Well done to Spurs. They rode their luck at times but I think 'Arry got the tic tacs right tonight. Milan played pretty well but if this is Italy's best (which it supposedly is) against England's 5th team then maybe Engerlunders are right about their league being the best!
