Worst refereeing performance?

Ibra telling the ref to break the rules and then scores an offside goal. Interesting

Sorry, but Barca basically play this formation:

If I see one of their players on the ground, I don't instantly think "zomg, I need to stop play ASAP."

Sorry, but Barca basically play this formation:

Valdes
Boy who cried wolf - Boy who cried wolf - Puyol - Boy who cried wolf
Boy who cried wolf - Boy who cried wolf - Boy who cried wolf
Boy who cried wolf - Messi - Boy who cried wolf

You mean like when Ibra dived to get Pique booked? Everyone dives, but the thing is because Barca is so much better than every other team, the other teams result to kicking the shit out of them. So I ask you, if you play against a team that kicks the shit out of you and the referee is either blind/bribed wont you start exagerating contact?

when teams don't play that dirty against Barca, they dont dive that much. I mean, ffs Drogba himself outdived the entire Barca team. And funnily enough, I didn't see you or anyone else cry about him cheating. Nor did I see Barca diving against Man Utd even though Valencia made his best Pepe performance..

I cry about Drogba diving all the time!

Well, I don't remember anyone on this forum crying about it. Heck, I recall that most people called him a legend or laughed at it..

Well he is a great striker. He's also a cheating pussy as well. I wouldn't call Andy Möller a bad football player either, or Kliensmann for that matter. And they dived more than Busquets with scuba gear.

EXACTLY! Everyone dives!

No, scumbags dive. I know it'd be a comforting narrative for you if everybody actually dived, but to have an almost entire team of divers is a Barca-exclusive phenomenon.

I only concede that a lot of people are perfectly capable of diving without playing for Barca.

Roura I'm disappionted that we have lodged a complaint. Pep and Tito never have cared about the referees making mistakes and since Roura has come in, he has pretty much been critising referees every single game we play.
Ruining our reputation as a club...

We have like 3-4 divers. Sanchez, Pedro, Alves and Busquets..
Man Utd have Young, Rooney, Nani etc
Real Madrid have C.Ronaldo, Pepe, Özil(starting to dive more) and Di Maria etc
Bayern Munich have Robben, Ribery and Muller. Muller I am not so sure, but the little I have seen him play, I always think that he falls down to easy, but like I said I am not so sure..

And EVERYONE DIVES, even Messi at times..

Tbh, this has been going too long already, many years. Almost every UCL 1st-leg match Barca gets the short end of the stick by the refs. It's an obvious pattern to even up the ties, make them more interesting, and when they go overboard with it sometimes they try to compensate it. Now this is flawed tactic from the start, it makes the games worse, unfair and fake, not better, even if the decision count is even.

I think it's perfectly good and obvious opportunity to make a "meal" out of it. Nothing will be done, obviously, but at least it will make people wonder, what really goes on below the surface.

Yeah, poor Barca, always getting screwed over in the CL

Anyway back on topic, last nights game between Real Madrid and Galatasaray was pretty poor refereeing. Ramos fouled yilmaz and instead of a penalty yilmaz gets booked and another penalty not given when Khedira handled the ball inside the penalty area..

Didn't ManU just get a red from similar incident?

I didn't want to mention the last one because of... you know "can of worms".

But I guess that after this season superfloren will stop mentioning overbro..

Massimo Busacca was pretty bad in the game he sent off RVP at the Nou Camp.

Ovrebo in FCBvChelsea is an obvious one.

And that's ok for most injuries.

Head injuries are a different game though. You have noticed the extreme amount of caution over head injuries and concussions over the last couple years, yes? It's not just football either, it's all sports. Even more so for football as I believe footballers have the highest chance of any sport to receive a concussion.

I'm not being biased here, if I hadn't heard all of this consistently year after year from USSF in referee recertification, I wouldn't say it. I don't like refs going straight to their whistle after an injury the majority of the time because a lot of players fake it. But I do hear this year after year and that's where I think this ref has got it wrong.

You know, ignoring the offside goal and all too

But you win some you lose some.

I love how there are no Madrid fans in this thread any more after the recent scandals.

PS: Barça have not been més que un club since they accepted the Qatar deal on their shirt.

That's another game where Barca didn't complain when the referee almost robbed them of qualifying to the next round!(not sending off RVP in the first half, didn't give a penalty when Djourou fouled Messi when the ref was only 2-4 meters away from the foul and not giving koscielny a second yellow for his penalty)..

I don't like that they sent of complain to the UEFA but I do am glad that we are not keeping quiet as we used to. I mean the myth that Barca never got screwed over by the ref was created because we used to keep quiet when it happend, like in that Barca - Arsenal game..

Barca got an easy penalty and still complaining? Why?

So, when two players fall over game needs to be stopped? Good to know.. next time when opposition has a dangerous attack the defenders will just fall over and the game will be stopped...


Worst of all those CL games was the incident, when Ribery WASNT shown a card for his foul on Vidal. Not even a foul. And ref saw it clearly..

Barcelona have been unlucky with referees, says Freixa

The Primera Division giants filed an official complaint earlier this week as they felt hard done by in the match versus Paris Saint-Germain

Barcelona spokesperson Toni Freixa believes that his side have been unlucky with referees in the past couple of months.

The Blaugrana were on the wrong side of a questionable decision in the Champions League match against AC Milan back in February, and felt aggrieved once more on Tuesday after the 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Catalans even went as far as to file an official complaint to Uefa over referee Wolfgang Stark's decision not to halt play when two Barca players were down injured.

"I think that it's clear for all to see that Barcelona have not had any luck with the referees lately," Freixa was quoted as saying by Sport.

"We are fully aware that refereeing is not easy and that anybody can make mistakes. But what worries us is that a referee was seemingly unaware of the rules.

"We are not complaining about a referee, but about the wrongful application of the rules."

Yeah, that's actually more damning than the ridiculous offside goal.

Also Turkish have now complained the Yilmaz yellow card to UEFA, which keeps him away the return leg, and which should have been a penalty.

What scandal?

The ball hit Khedira's arm after it was deflected no way the ref is going to give a penalty there at the Bernabeu of all places.

His threesome with Essien was funny and weird looking but if refs gave penalties for funny incidents Barca would concede a penalty every game thanks to Valdes and co.

The Benzema high kick should have got a yellow card. If Cakir was in charge it would have been a red card. Cakir wasn't in charge though now was he?

Different refs have different interpretations of the rules and what constitutes dangerous play. Think of it as choosing a non-strict ref in the pre-match options in FIFA 13.

Yilmaz was playing?



He took a tumble but I don't think he "dived" since Ramos did step on him after winning the ball cleanly. Ramos won the ball, sure he caught Yilmaz in the aftermath but at best it was a 50/50 and let's be honest we've already established that the ref was not going to hand out soft penalties at the Bernabeu.
