UCL Round of 16 - First Legs - Feb 18 - 26
- Thread starter Ronaldo's Mum Eh?
- Start date

Silva has been so good tonight.
Is Busquets actually immune to yellow cards? Be good fun if Barca get someone sent off too.
Chopper Biscuits.
Barca showing absolutely no urgency. They might just regret it.
The ref should have booked Busquets
Silva has been the best player from either side
Silva has been City's best player by some distance.
why no foul and yellow card for that, clear yellow
Since when has that been a rule?
Silva, what a footballer!

Penalties are only given for fouls inside of the box. Not fouls made outside of the box but momentum brings the player inside the box. In real-time it's obviously extremely difficult to discern whether or not it is a penalty - I thought it was a penalty too in the beginning. But the reality of the situation is that just like every year or so, Barcelona get favourable decisions in knock-out ties...
Neymar to be awarded another penalty
Neymar, all over for city now anyways. Blow her up ref.
red card all day , but for me the foul was committed outside the area, pen was wrong.
Should be interesting now.
ITV with another feck up. Showing the Navas/Nasri substitution graphic when Dzeko comes on.
Best player from either side.
Definite penalty, sorry.
That's the key part of course, because the referee only gets that part, he doesn't get another go to look over it. Wether or not he should is another argument altogether.
It's a favourable decision but I'm not sure I'd hold this one against them.
Iniesta is just class, looks so calm on the ball
They really are poor.
Barca might regret if they don't get another goal now.
Looks like that, hard to say when you're seeing it full speed though. The ref made what he thought was the right call.
Thats UEFA instead of ITV isn't it? ITV just broadcast the feed I assumed
Mascherano is an idiot, why tackle like that ?
What a despicable dirty cnut Mascherano is
Nah it's ITV's graphics I think.
Unlucky
I reckon City will get a goal. Barca think it's too easy.
Great save Valdes, that's the job.
Good play, that.
Brilliant by Toure, Zaba and Valdes.
Deserved a goal!
Nice from Valdes
Barca are disappointing
Yeah they need to be careful, they've threatened a couple of times after going to 10 men, they don't need City nicking a goal back.
It's the same as the Pepe-Alves red card from the 2011 semi-finals. It looked like clear contact to the referee but they once again got a crucial decision in their favour.
Just like this one - a penalty that resulted in an away against Manchester City.
