I've had a search for this and can't find a thread covering this.

Last night was playing a game online against someone I was clearly better than. Sadly I only ever use my beloved Tottenham and was taken to extra time against Bayern Munich. 2 - 2, he scores and is kind enough to show me 3 or 4 replays of his bundled in effort. 119 minutes on the clock and I go clear with Robbie Keane - he's just about got the legs to stay in front of the defenders, keeper is rushing out L1 is pressed and I about to chip him from the edge of the area, in comes the defender hard from behind, I knew this guy would pull a stunt like this - down keane goes, unable to release the chip. Defender gets a straight red. Keane lines up the free kick, hits the upright with the last kick of the game. All over - I go down to some annoying guy who I outplayed for most of the game, all because of a tackle I saw coming.

Can I hurdle tackles? Or avoid them in anyway?
 
Some times a red card means so very little :(

With 1 minute left and no post game impact - am I a fool for never pulling this same trick?
 
See, I get very annoyed by this kind of thing. I play ranked online games, I'll use Spurs against anyone, if I think the ref has given me a stupid penalty (you know when you take a shot, they've slid in to block and clip you after you've already missed), I'll blast it over, I will never knowingly take someone out, if I get a yellow it's because I've miss timed it and made a mistake.

This stuff just annoys me, sick of playing someone and their team defaulting to a 4 1/2 star team (say Villa, or Man City) then seeing them switch to Barca or Chelsea. Would love to have the odd game against an evenly matched side without having to switch to a 5 star team.

Think my record would be better if I did though - 72 wins, 8 draws, 64 losses.

You could've used a skill move. Not sure of the appropriate PS3 button combination but sliding tackles an be avoided on the 360 by holding down the left trigger and the holding the analogue stick to either the players left or right, he should walk to the left or the right while facing forwards, dragging the ball along with him.

See this would have brought another defender into the frey, but I think it's the best option in this cicumstance.
 
I don't think you can filter on that for a rank match. Also it classes 4 and 1/2 and 5 together. Not being funny, but there is a huge difference between Villa and Barca!

Get over it OP, it'll happen again!

Haha, yeah it happened again last night, but at this point I was 3 - 0 down and would have been a consilation only. Even more annoying!

I think I just need to play against mates only tbh. I am just addicted to ranked matches. I must prove Spurs are the greatest team of all time! ;)
