Copa del Rey: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 2-2

[gingerless]

Im sorry to put it in such a provocing way but: Barcelona got their ass handed to them. By the team thats not a "worthy" opponent. Ya... that backfired.

2-2, madrid are out. barcelona went through. if anyone got their asses handed to them, well... you're the genius

Well, thanks, but I won't be so kind to you and just end this discussion with this:

Retired Spanish referee Andujar Oliver summing up in the Madrid paper MARCA:

1. Should have sent off Lass
2. Should have sent off Pepe, he "punched" on Fabregas face
3. There is NO penalty from Busquets, the ball touched his abdomen then bounced hitting his arm.
4. There is NO penalty from Abidal, there play is already disallowed due previously dangerous play foul from Ramos, and on top of that the handball is untentional.
5. Ramos goal is rightly disallowed, Sergio fouls Alves
6. There is NO penalty from Pepe to Alexis, normal charge
7. There is NO penalty from Puyol to Benzema, normal charge

is it surprising that the top rated comments on there are of people quoting del bosque 'losers cry about referees' and saying it's mourinho's fault for not playing the game in the first leg etc?

i don't read marca but do they usually have objective comments or just biased ones? (i'm guessing they're usually biased, that would mean the fans must've really turned against mourinho and his shit)

We underestimated them, thats all. We'll play with that in mind the next time we face them.

Unbelivable. You are saying that calling Real none worthy classico opponents didnt backfire in a game where Real is the better team of the two. Theres just nothing left to say..

[estranged]

an unbiased, reasonable and somewhat excited Trillske immediately after the game:

Yes. Im suprised Real didnt walk over to be honest, it was clear that Barcelona was superior tonight. Creds to Real, stayed on the field and played the whole game anyway.

And you wonder why we call you a troll

Well, for me, the more concerning issue isn't even that Barça very nearly blew it against RM but that for the first time in a big match, that I can remember under Pep, the players didn't rise to the occasion...at home no less...It wasn't a Final, of course, but perhaps a cause for concern

Well, the funny part is that if anything should be called trolling, its the first thing you quoted. And no, I dont wonder why you call me a troll, never have; you dont like what you read, calling it trolling is the easiest excuse to ignore it.

Not first time imo, The first leg CL game against Arsenal last year, we were playing below our top form as well. But the good thing is we always bounce back from unconvincing performances. The players still respond to sub par games by showing the will to prove themselves, yet again.

You know I saw Pep & Mourinho shaking hands at the start of this match. Are they friends now or somethin'?

[Raed]

best friends.
