I did not know that hockey was a North american colloquialism for
football? I always thought it was soccer?
Two return leg games today, with the home teams having slight
advantages. Though for the Man U vs real game, I am not sure how big
the home field advantage will be? I seem to recall Roy Keano calling
the man u fans a bunch of prawn eaters? In Dortmund it should be
loud, they get to drink beer with their prawn sandwiches, but Hummels
is still injured and Santana and Subotic looked shaky in the last
couple of games.


BVB vs Shaktar (2-2)
two away goals is a nice thing to have, but like I said, Dortmund will
miss Hummels, if for no other reason he is better then the other two
in the air. If they can come out and score quickly I like their
chances.
2-1

Man U vs R Madrid (1-1)
A couple of weeks ago, i would have picked Man u, but Real have that
confidence boost of beating Barca twice in that time. I can see this
going to extra time and penalties? Oh and of course 50 red cards
flying.
1-1 Man U win on penalties

The red one was clear, you can't kung fu kick your opponents. In all
likelyhood not malicious, but for sure reckless.

Regarding Real:

- Why was their first goal not given? It was scored from an offside
position, but I thought the ball came from a ManU player? Was it called
as a foul on him?

- Why was ManU's little right back not sent off after his deliberate
handball on the line?

ManU:

- The first pen you refer to was when Ramos pushed Welbeck (or some
other red shirt) out of the way? I thought that was borderline at best,
the red shirt didn't do much, and you shouldn't expect to get Ashley
Young penalties every game.

- The one in injury time - yes, that was as clear a pen as it can get.

Overall not a good refereeing performance, but both teams suffered from
it.


Ciao,
SM

I don't think it was Real's fault that the ref was incompetent They
may have won anyway but it would have been nice to have seen a fair
contest and not one ruined by that kind of decision.

Bad decision. It was dangerous play. Indirect free kick, and in this
case possibly a yellow card.

We hardly require a retired referee's verdict to know that was a bad
decision. However, it was somewhat evened out later on by not awarding a
penalty (and red card) for the blatant handball on the line by Rafael.

I don't know about that but it did take Real Madrid going behind before
they actually settled down and played with more confidence and freedom,
ironically. Arbeloa was atrocious (slow as well as unskilled) at
right-back and most of Man U's thrusts on the break were directed at the
spaces he would leave behind him even when not providing anything in
attack himself.

Ibra's was a clear red card for violent conduct. He deliberately went over
the ball in an intimidating fashion. In Nani's case, I think he was just
trying to control a high ball coming over his shoulder and didn't even
realise that there was Real player coming in from his blind side.
Dangerous play, at worst.

i thought it was red.. and knowing the referee from his games in turkish league, i said "red" the moment i saw the instant replay.. i also thought he'd send off ferguson if he kept bothering the fourth official.. that guy (cuneyt cakir, the referee) is a mass murderer in big games, his reds are all over the pitch..

MH a exposᅵ le 05/03/2013 :
He put his foot on Arbeloa's body during an aerian play. Why
the hell the red card would be a bad decision, most of all
without replay and at real time ? Because he is a MU player ?

We, fans or little club (like me with Bordeaux), use to see
such decisions against our teams. Severe red cards, denied free
kicks ou penalties, and versus MU, I remember the dive of
Beckham to send off Laslandes in 1999 or the one-sided
refereing aginst Lille five years ago. But I can imagine MU
fans don't use to see their team refered hard...

Abubakr a exprimé avec précision :
You are ridiculous. There's no violent conduct in Ibra's red,
but a valencian simulation. Nani's one is clearer than Ibra's
one.

Does Nani ignore than he is not alone in the pitch and Real has
some defenders who can come from behind ? When you put your leg
like this, you make a dangerous play.

And a dangerous play may be punished by a red (law XII, Serious
foul play).

No you ridiculous. The simulation is irrelevant.

The contact with the player was inadvertent and that being the case, it
was reckless play at worst, and yellow card would suffice.

In Ibra's case, he knew a player was there and he still stomped his foot
over the ball. That's serious foul play by definition. A clear red card
offence.

I don't think the refereeing decision knocked them out. They were still in
the lead but couldn't hold. It was not like Nani such an important clog in
their defensive shape. He could've easily been covered for. It did hamper
ManU of course, once they went behind.

I can honestly say I didn't watch the match, just reading the worldwide
media reports, manager reactions and highlights... I couldn't care less who
won or lost, but really, these officials are quite a joke, I think it might
be time for UEFA to have specific officials who have no league commitments
for these matches... and are ONLY designated to UEFA competition!!!

It will only improve consistency IMO, this type of red is a one/two per
season, rubbish!!!

Can't pinpoint the actual occurrence for you this minute but I'll
watch it again and post.

There were actually three handballs, two by Real and one by United.
One of the Madrid handballs was definitely not a penalty since the
Madrid player had his hands behind his back and the ball hit his arm,
the other was blatant and should have been a penalty. It was fairly
late in the match.

These things happen, win some lose some.

I'm proud of the way United fought all the way and played pretty well
considering being down a man.

On to the Chelsea match!

You wont get decisions influenced by domestic interpretation, if that's a
red card in the Turkish league and not in lets say 40 other leagues, then
why should it be red on the biggest stage?

The officials wont have domestic influence or committments to think about
when making these decisions, they will all be training together under the
UEFA banner and you wont have to worry about the nationality of the referee
in the pre match build up... you might not get absolute consistency, one per
cent better consistency would mean success, you will eradicate these one in
a million type decisions that are effectively bringing an end to teams
participation...

Or maybe it's a huge over reaction and all is fine with the referees...

OK, so you admit that the decision was made because of the
player, not because of the action. Thanks to agree me.

Do you know Esseyric ? A nice guy. Never a red card, some
yellow... A very correct player. But bad mistake last saturday
:

So, if I think like you, he doesn't deserve his red card

The problem is the opposite.
Often, a foul deserving a red in 40 leagues would not deserve a
yellow in England.

Nani:

1) ball is coming over his shoulder
2) he is looking at the ball
3) the ball is high
4) he goes to trap it in mid air
5) there's a player coming in from his blind side
6) the high leg catches opponent
7) Nani isn't a dirty player

Ibra

1) hasn't done jack all game
2) loses the ball for umpteenth time
3) the ball is loose
4) another player is coming in to take it
5) Ibra sees the other player coming in to take it
6) he goes over the ball with his studs
7) Ibra is a dirty player, especially when he's frustrated

Careless is a foul.
Reckless is a foul and a caution (yellow).
Excessive force is a foul and an ejection (red).

Intent is not necessary for any of the above, but may bring a caution or
ejection when reckless or excessive force are not present.

The decision was 50/50, it could have gone either way.

But forget about the decision, what did ManU do to deserve the win, or hold
on to 1-0?

Ferguson is inflexible with his tactics, and this isn't the first time this
has happened.

If a player like Nani is sent off and you're leading 1-0, you just don't
play on as if nothing happened, you take a forward off, put a midfielder on
and try and hold the result, especially against a team like RM.

And...
- why leave Rooney out?
- why start with Giggs who is old?

Blaming the ref is a cope out.

Ibra has the ball, is on the ground, is making a slow movement,
doesn't touch his opponent (or so few) who starts to fall
before the contact.

Nani is flying, leg forward and put his foot in the Arbeloa
body.

I don't care whether he is a dirty player or not. If you cannot
see the difference, I cannot do more for you.

End of discussion with you for me.

Sure, they could have done better (and many sides would have), but they
did ok afterwards - when it was too late - and should have scored.

In any case, you would expect a side of ManU's caliber to adjust better
to a sending off. 10-20 minutes time out are too much.

The Laws of the Game are pretty clear

"Playing in a dangerous manner involves no physical contact between
the
players. If there is physical contact, the action becomes an offence
punishable
with a direct free kick or penalty kick. In the case of physical
contact, the
referee should carefully consider the high probability that misconduct
has also
been committed."

Certainly no indirect free kick.

Can't pinpoint the actual occurrence for you this minute but I'll watch it again and post. There were actually three handballs, two by Real and one by United. One of the Madrid handballs was definitely not a penalty since the Madrid player had his hands behind his back and the ball hit his arm, the other was blatant and should have been a penalty. It was fairly late in the match. These things happen, win some lose some. I'm proud of the way United fought all the way and played pretty well considering being down a man. On to the Chelsea match!

You know man u in europe it's win a little, lose a lot, not win some, lose some.

RD, deep down you should know the real reasons are man utd are inept in europe, alex ferguson is inept in europe. RVP is enept in europe.

That's why all the memorable 'footballing lesson' kind of matches of the past few years all had man u at the losing end.

With or without the sending off man u will lose in the end. Even if they lucked this game they will lose in the next round.

The 3-pin plug joke is invented specifically for alex ferguson's man u in europe.

he's not a bad referee, he's a good referee, and obviously the uefa and fifa think the same since they appoint him to officiate such high profile games, which are high career points for a referee.. he's just harsh and not shy to eject players and coaches when he thinks appropriate, not a referee for players and coaches to mess around with..

as for last night's incident, i agree with him on his ejection of nani. it was dangerous play, and it's a red card in europe any day of the week.. fifa rules are clear..

I think what did him was that extra little kick out right at the end. I
think that made it violent conduct in the eyes of the officials.

I wouldn't have given any of the three 'handball' penalties,
the Khedira incident was actually a perfect example of
where to put the arms as to avoid a handball to happen.
If these things would start to get called, it'd be ugly.

OTOH why is noone mentioning the incident in the 1st
half (34th minute) when on a corner kick Diego López
went for the ball but instead hit Vidić on the head with
both fists?

These things practically never get called, but a goalkeeper
cannot do as he pleases inside his area.

Yep. The hysterical reaction is typical of British media who, despite
red cards in international tournaments and in the UCL over the years,
haven't realised that it's English, not 'foreign' referees that are the
problem. English referees try to keep 11 players on the pitch, 'foreign'
referees feel no such obligation.

Since I like both clubs, I guess I can give an unbiased opinion.

Correct red card call for Nani. And I've seen red cards been shown for less.

Tchau!

I totally agree! Once in my illustrious career did I get a penalty
call when a keeper actually came out on a corner and flattened me,
making no attempt to get the ball. I could not start to count the
number of times I have had keepers trample over me, have my head
double fisted, knees or studs to the ribs, been used as a springboard
etc. I have had to have stitches in one case and not a foul, or
anything. Dont think they even stopped the play? ( it was in the days
when a player could be bloody on the field and we were playing against
Bavarian pig farmers)

That's the way it is. Goalies are allowed clutter into people and hit them
on the head but the slightest nudge on a gk invokes a whistel.

And nor should they.

I can see why last night's card may be debatable, but to suggest that a red
is out of line makes no sense at all.

And, for the record, I was supporting United in this matchup.

Yes. Too short a distance. I don't like to see these called.

It wasn't even inside his six-yard box, where a goalkeeper is
usually especially protected (even though this is not explicitly
mentioned in the LOTG, as far as I'm aware).
