    Barca look worse when Messi is in the team. He doesn't move enough and he was responsible for Busquets picking up a yellow. Tough dilemma for Tata Messi is Messi but he's half arsed and leaves Barca looking toothless at times. Mascherano should have been sent off -he's been terrible of late too- and Real should have at least been one goal up and possibly had a penalty.

    Really disappointed that it's looking like another fking Clasico final. :(

    He needs to start closing down opponents more..and use his ****ing teammates more. I know he is literally Messi, but football is a team game, he needs to become more involved.

    The ref who sent Ronaldo off last week has been banned for a month.
    The referee who sent off Cristiano Ronaldo last Sunday for Real Madrid against Athletic Bilbao has been banned for a month, according to a Spanish radio station.

    Cadena Cope report that Miguel Angel Ayza Gamez has been punished following his performance in the match which ended 1-1 between the sides at San Mames.

    The decision from the Spanish League's Refereeing Technical Committee (CTA) to drop Gamez has also seen the referee barred from taking charge of Madrid matches for the rest of the campaign.

    Ronaldo was dismissed for raising a hand to Bilbao captain Carlos Gurpegi, while he also confronted Ander Iturraspe.

    Ronaldo's appeal against the three-match ban imposed has been rejected, but Madrid are set to take the case still further by petitioning a Spanish government body to get the punishment overturned.

    Jesus, he was right to send Ronaldo off. It was a clear red, Bilbao player who stuck his head in should've gone too, though.

    Bale back in among the goals with 6 minutes gone! Great pressure on the defender and a cheeky little chip!

    Atleti vs Almeria a very dull game.

    Can't afford to drop points in these types of games, hopefully they have enough to get over the line but it's been a bit insipid so far. HT

    Wouldn't be surprised if there was a fracture there for Tiago


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,166 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Almeria must not be able to believe their luck. A shot hit off the left post and went across the line and then came off the right and out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,166 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Almeria have just scored a great goal! Super strike

    Hints of a cross-cum-shot really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,166 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Lol at the Athletico keeper!

    What a result this will be for almeria, and what a disastrous one for atleti.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    Barca to be back on top if they win tomorrow!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭Too Tough To Die


    Barca gonna lose here.

    Sanchez has done better this season but for me isn't good enough to start for Barcelona. Woeful miskick leads to a great chance for Rakitic.

    Typically Sanchez then goes and scores.

    Clearly offside, what an injustice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    Big save Victor Valdes! The Barca stopper gets out quick and saves with his feet.

    He took a touch first.

    Sorry yeah, I meant chip and volley.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,868 ✭✭✭Andersonisgod


    Ohhhhh what a goal! In the monsoon like conditions of Andalucia, Messi finds a sublime half volley that will fire Barcelona to the top of the table. Barcelona, the world media and the fans asked and Lionel Messi has answered. It's genius, soaking, dripping genius.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭Too Tough To Die


    Yeah, it's soaking, dripping genius.

    Messi has answered.

    No he hasn't. No one has doubted that he's scoring goals it's his overall contribution to the game that is in doubt. He's been woeful for the entire game so far. Cesc would have made Barca's attack look more coherent. They're incredibly lucky to be even in this tie.

    Sevilla missed three gilt edge opportunities. You could argue that luck balanced out the two goals. Pique blocked the linesman so he couldn't tell whether alexis was off or not. Bartra's deflection was unfortunate. But should the free for Barca's goal have been given? Should Song still be on the pitch? And, why oh why, didn't Rakitic pass the ball. They had a clear overlap. Sevilla should be winning here but aren't. :(

    Ahem, we're actually winning this tie :P

    Amazing how quiet you were when Barca were behind.

    Yeah but that's sport like better team performance doesn't always win. You guys are sub par. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker


    Not impressed with Barca.

    But they are winning, which is more than what Atleti managed.
