Re: What a Goal---CELEBRATION!
That vid was almost too choreographed, but hilarious. A lot of planning went into that, well done.
Pretty pleased that the coverage today, mostly, has been about the horror ref from El Classico who ruined the game. Aside from some Barca homers, but they're used to getting calls so i don't fault them for their ignorance.
Just to sum up as i ran through highlights again last night, here was the "objective ref" who had no result on the game......
Real got: a somewhat fortunate pk early second half, CR7 was easily fouled and embellished it, and he was on 18 heading into box. could have been on 18, but a bit lucky to get PK. So they go up 3-2. That was bit of fortune for Real.
Barca got:
2 handballs in the box uncalled, one with hands above head, one with hands out sideways
Pepe head stepped on after goal celebration by Busquets, no call.
Fabregas committs 3 bad fouls after his yellow, no 2nd yellow.
A red card on Ramos for grazing Neymar on a breakway, oh and Neymar was offsides! The play that changed the La Liga season should never have been. Ramos can earn a red with the best of them, but this was nothing close to a red, he actually tried to avoid Neymar and literally caressed his shin if he even touched him i'm not 100% sure, Neymar went down shot, PK given. PK right call in real time. Red, outrageous, you never ever see that for a touch foul plus a PK. Those calls for for killing the man and not hiding it. Game was over after red but ref needed to help out more.
Bale kicked in the box, no play on ball. no call.
Iniesta draws a PK, for losing the ball and then getting fouled after he lost the ball. I actually had to watch this several times because i couldn't find a foul with the ball. There wasn't one, as soft a PK as you'll ever find.
SO there you have it. La Liga. Totally legit. No reason to watch that clown show anymore, Mexico has better refs. A shame.
Big week in England, several make up games this week, if only Southampton hadn't choked, Tottenham with a huge 3 points. We'll see if Everton can get a streak going vs bad teams.
Arsenal response should be interesting.
