    Ref is worse than last night! Football is a joke these days and will be until video refereeing is in. I cant take it seriously anymore. This is not football its a sad comedy show.

    Man of the match so far in the Barca/Juve match is the referee. He's been excellent.

    No we are not giving the ball back even though you put it out as you thought a player was hurt.

    Took longer than I expected for Juve players to start getting 'injured '.

    So many conflicting posts about the ref like the above! I'd love a vote on the ref performance so far to see who's in which camp :D

    Barcalona's attitude to referees is embarrassing. Such insanely talented players and they whinge non stop about everything

    Neymar is some clown for getting booked and ruling himself out of a Semi if they managed to turn this around.

    This is such a shambles the ref will probably end up getting death threats. Will it take a dead ref to fix football with technology that's been around for a decade? Rugby is so far ahead of football its shameful.

    Surprised Messi doesnt have a concussion after that faceplant

    There was a definite foul against Rakitic but not too much else really. The Barca players are self righteous little dicks, diving constantly. If they fall, it has to be a free, by divine right.

    As I type, Messi has just landed on his face. Should get a check for concussion. That was probably a foul alright :pac:

    It's painful and really puts you off. This Barca team is a far cry from that last great team. Iniesta should retire quick.

    Feel for Messi there, could easily have a concussion. There so be something similar to rugby for that, a temporary sub

    This always happens when it gets to the knockout stages of the champions league, must be the most difficult matches to referee. I'm not trying to defend referees, but it must be difficult trying to keep tabs on 22 babies screaming and crying on any little touch. Is embarrassing to watch grown men go on like that.

    Pleasing half and an excellent refereeing performance, Chiellini and Bonucci must be a nightmare to play against.

    Very enjoyable game so far. Juve set up very well to hold Barca. Barca will need a miracle to pull it out of the fire.

    Barca look a bit clueless I can't see where a goal is coming from.

    not even Mandzukic himself thought he was hurt.

    Ref has been fine, one or two decisions aside. If neymar is still on by 75 minutes, he'll get sent off (if not before then).

    Juventus not playing well. They'd be better if the game was level. As it is i think they're happy defending their lead.

    Ref has been excellent. Not allowing the baying crowd to influence him, unlike the Barca players who are completely getting carried away in the atmosphere.
