RVP's was a bit of a slap, nothing major, and wasn't a yellow and Ramos's reaction was pathetic as it was just an arm out to feel where your guy you're playing is, Valencia's was in fairness a full on elbow to the face, not massive power but it woulda hurt none the less, still not sure it was a yellow... far closer to one than RVP's.
The thing I hate about Ramos is, he'll go down like he's been punched from that RVP contact, yet he will actually intend to and full on elbow someone in the face, they'll go down barely concious and then he'll yell at the guy for diving... he's just a thug and a cheat. Cheating itself is one thing, cheating then lying about it, accusing the other player when diving/fouling/cheating is something you do on a regular basis really really winds me up.
The only real thing to mention is, I don't remember Ramos doing a nasty foul, and Pepe didn't attempt to murder anyone, very quiet night overall from those two, pretty rare thing to see. Don't really remember Alonso kicking out randomly at everyone either.

It happens, not very often, but it does happen and realistically its what should be done more often. If anyone was on the take, it was both teams, maybe they heard from the bookies almost no one was betting on the draw, could explain how both teams were so rubbish in the second half compared to the first

Ramos elbowed someone during a Madrid corner not long after RvP was yellowed, can't remember who.

Great result for United. Could have snatched a winner but also had to withstand some pressure from Real. Ramos was a **** the entire game, he was chucking his weight about but then going down so easily when someone tried to do the same to him. Also, he should have been sent off for a deliberate elbow in the first half. Varane should have gone too.
The return leg is going to be an interesting one. I think Real will set themselves up to hit us on the break, which they are perfectly capable of doing with all their pace. However, they also looked a bit shaky at the back and I can see us getting a couple of goals at OT. I think it's going to be another close game though.

Just finished watching, fair result with both teams having a chance to win it. The ref shouldn't give the corner if he's going to blow for time before its even taken.

Really enjoyed the Shakhtar Donetsk vs Borussia Dortmund game, although over shadow by the madrid man u game it didnt disapoint.

Good result for Man.U. which should hopefully see them through meaning JM will get the boot soonish giving him plenty of free time to work out how he's going to turn Chelsea around next season.
Thought you were watching the Youth Fa cup
I was at the game in Histon! Was bloody freezing, the pitch was terrible and the game wasn't much better
. Liverpool were by far the better team though, third goal was pretty good.

People complaining about Ramos and bent refs should refer to the Celtic game and the nonsense that Juventus got away with. Refs seem to pander to these clubs.
Soldato
What did he do that was good?
Soldato
Well, he scored a goal for starters...
I admitted he scored, fair enough.
Apart from that he ran round miscontrolling the ball and being generally useless. He's got no first touch.
Don't get me wrong hrs a half decent player but he's not of your standard and certainly shouldn't be starting against Madrid in the last 16 of the CL.
SAF, a veteran of over 25 years and countless trophy wins thinks otherwise.
