I think Red car was fair given the tackle, totally took messi out without even attempting to get the ball :o

Replay shows Del Horno swiped for a 50:50 ball that Messi didn't have control off and simply missed the ball completely and clattered Messi. Think it was more clumsly more then anything. Yellow at most.

Messi rolling about on the floor about six times after he looks up at the ref first to make sure he was looking didn't help.
 
Fantastic goal by Lovencrands to make it 1-1 :D, then a bit o controversy for 1-2.

Villareals 2nd goal was dodgy to say the least, Forlan in an offside position (we're talking a good 10 yards here with another Villareal player). An onside Villa player receives the ball (Forlan inactive) then goes by a defender squares it to Forlan (whos now active) he shoots and scores.

Total joke. I thought a player who was inactive and offside was deemed to be offside the minute he became active, or did they change it again this season? (You'll probably need to watch video replays to see it but its total madness).
 
tbh, Del Horno got away with a nasty challenge on Messi earlier on in the game. I wouldn't have thought the 2nd tackle was a straight red though. :eek:

I've been very impressed with Barca's workrate. They're not giving Chelsea any time on the ball.
