Europa Semi Finals

[Denis79]

Wonder how many red cards this is going to end with?

 

[Rado_N]

Both were yellow but still a bit childish from the ref.

 

[I_live_cement]

Could have given him a warning for the first. If youre going to give a card for every foul you end up with 5 vs 5

Studs into the ankle? Should be 5 v 5 if everyone on the pitch was doing it.

 

[adexkola]

Lalas is consistent in being a moron and a terrible ambassador for the sport in America.

Did you hear him earlier? "If there were time outs in soccer atletico would take one now"

Carragher rinsed him on Tuesday before the Liverpool - Roma tie.

 

[saivet]

Wait...why isn't Costa starting ? Or Torres for that matter.

He's had a hamstring injury

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

No excuses now

 

[whatwha]

Both were yellow but still a bit childish from the ref.

Childish? Wtf are you talking about?

 

[BocaJuniors]

Arsenal still wont win.

 

[carvajal]

Wait...why isn't Costa starting ? Or Torres for that matter.

for what they said he will play 30 minutes, he wasn´t at 100%

 

[YouOnlyLiveTwice]

No doubt about the two yellows. Ref did well.

Vrsaljiko reflects his hot-headed coach.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Wait...why isn't Costa starting ? Or Torres for that matter.

Costa’s injured and Torres have gone shit again and is leaving end of season.

Rename this guy Michael Owen!

 

[GifLord]

Someone has to GIF that Arsenal Harry Potter lookalike with a wand in his hand!

 

[Rado_N]

2 fouls, 2 yellows. That's bullshit, you don't send a player off like that 10 minutes into a semifinal. On isolation they're probably both yellow card fouls but there's no way the ref should be giving that

Vrsaljko was stupid though

How does this shit still get spouted?

Were they both yellows? By your own admission yes, end of story. Nothing else is relevant.

 

[James Peril]

Vrsaljko was stupid though

If he doesn’t get a yellow and makes that second tackle, how is that fair to Arsenal? You are basically saying a player can try and injure a player in the first five minutes - no yellow cards given regardless. Two clear yellow cards, correct decision - the only idiot here is that player. Too bad for the game of course.

Watch Arsenal get a cheap yellow card to compensate in the next ten minutes.

 

[Sterling Archer]

He's had a hamstring injury

Ah gotcha gotcha.

 

[Loublaze]

Marseille are leading against RB Salzburg

 

[el3mel]

Atletico imploded in the first 15 minutes for no damn reason!

 

[GeorgieBoy]

Hahahaha. How he just appears at the end. As if by magic...

 

[dutchred]

the ref is French wants to make sure Wegner leaves on a high

 

[donkeyfish]

Arsenal really should've scored by now.

 

[Member 109952]

Welbeck is playing some great balls in from the right but the finishing has been very poor from Arse so far.

 

[Adisa]

You have to be an idiot to get booked twice in the first 10 minutes of a semi.
Hope he's ducked wages.

 

[Rado_N]

Oblak having a blinder

 

[esmufc07]

Welbeck really is a dreadful finisher

 

[Vato]

Oblak saving pateti

 

[Mrs Smoker]

The Cloud is pretty great.

 

[Rado_N]

 

[Guy Incognito]

It's not like Atletico are terrible at defending. If any team is capable of shutting a team out, it'll be them.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Arsenal are not though.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Madrid are all over the fecking place here

 

[el3mel]

Atletico won't last long. Arsenal should score and kill the tie today.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Uefa wants Wenger to win uefa cup.

And this is the same ref who sent 5 players with red card in a derby in the first 10 minutes

Can we stop posting this RAWKish nonsense?

 

[Il Prete Rosso]

How have Arsenal not scored?

 

[Rado_N]

Did he close his eyes?!

 

[bdspeedy]

Welbeck dives like Superman and then throws his hands up looking for a foul. No card for simulation?

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Oh Danny boy

10 second , 10 mins or 90 mins , what difference does it make how long is on the clock.
If it is a red, its is a red.
Pisses me off this

 

[Peanut Butter]

Behave because....?

I know both could have been yellow card offenses on their own, but part of the referee's job is to take context into his decisions and manage the game. Sending off a player in a situation where it's been 2 tackles, 2 yellows, is very poor game management. He should have given a stern warning and told the Atletico player "one more and you're off."

Because you’re saying that the ref/UEFA want arsenal to win. It’s horse chod.

 

[whatwha]

Straight at Oblak's leg. Welbeck still can't finish...

 

[donkeyfish]

Comical finishing so far, classic Arse.
