3 minutes added on, so they obviously haven't included all of the cheating and play acting in that then.

Just been awful to watch, I really don't think I'll be watching this fixture again in future unless it's a Champions League final.

Barcelona were much the better team.

After they got the second but before that Real week dominant and they should have been 2-1 up but the linesman screwed them over

Well that was awful. Nothing is changing with this league, if anything it is getting worse.

Fair play to the ref, He's tried to let the game flow and ignored most of the rolling around, Must have an English Grandmother from Birmingham or something. 

What's with England matches been on Friday Nights

Cringe fest.

the right score should have 2-1 to RM or 2-2.  bring the quick video referral for incorrect decisions on goal. They spend more time on cheating ,diving and faking injuries than that.

All this nonsense that Neville and Carragher spout about our bad defending and lack of pressing is pure rubbish, Some of the defending tonight was woeful and where was the magical pressing they keep on talking about? So much space for both sides, The only reason English teams aren't doing well in Europe is because of three things, Messi, Ronaldo and Guardiola.

Problem is it's never gonna go away now, even when those players aren't playing anymore. That fixtures getting more and more heated as the years go by.

I wish Madrid would sell Varane

I actually think there's are several things why English clubs struggle in Europe like how competitive the PL is, the other leagues don't have the hard games that our teams do in our league, add to that the lack of a Christmas break and the fact the refs are bias towards the Barcelona's etc and that's for me is why we don't always do aswell.

To us?

To us? [emoji23]

No to QPR. Yes, to us.

I wish the refs over there would just book those that come running to him and disputing everything, it would soon stop that panto type atmosphere.

Also ban play actors, it's pathetic in a mans game

question for my English peeps...are the papers calling for skirtel's head like they did w/ Brana after the Everton match? I remember people were saying he headbutted/bite/chocked Everton players. On this side of the pond, only talk of how stevie me lost his cool & that he did it for the red of liverpool <_<

Won't know until the morning unless they show the back pages at the end of MOTD2 or on Sky Sports News. I doubt they are though.

Not one mention of the Skrtel stamp after the Liverpool vs Utd game or after our game, when they went into the Liverpool vs Utd game in more detail, even showing highlights of it.

 

They didn't show the stamp, they didn't ask for retrospective punishment, they didn't call Skrtel a criminal, they didn't ask the managers about it.

 

Nothing.

 

You wouldn't even know it had happened.

 

Disgraceful.

MOTD "Skrtel has quite deliberately so it seems stamped on David De Gea".

Can't fault them for that at least..

 

The MOTD commentator also stated that you couldn't argue with the Gerrard sending off, but spoiled it somewhat by saying that: "He [Gerrard] paid the price for coming into the game too pumped up."

Just waiting on MOTD...

They're agreeing on MOTD that if Atkinson didn't see the Skrtel stamp, the FA have to take further action.

 

Again, you can't fault them.

I must admit I was very much in the "stop being paranoid" brigade. I still don't think referees are biased against Chelsea (though we have obviously been hard done by). I admit I was wrong with the media though. The coverage by newspapers, TV, commentators with regards to us in comparison to other clubs has been shocking. When Bruce or Ince or someone shoved Costa in the back the commentator said "Costa would have a fight with his own shadow"... f**k off mate. Sky's coverage was disgusting of the Skrtel stamp. I can't see newspapers headlining with the Skrtel stamp. MOTD's was refreshing, both Shearer and the other guy agree he should be banned. Lets hope the FA stick to the standard they have set themselves.
