I can be mad about the ref robbing Barca but this is just Atletico lying down and letting Madrid have their way

It wasn't a fair penalty, it was a dive. That's what you call a dive.

Savic outstretched leg caught Ronaldo's knee. Like somebody else said here Savic has himself to blame for having his leg in the air for so long. Had he put it down sooner Ronaldo would've skipped past him but away from goal

Savic making a complete mess of the clearance gave Cristiano the opportunity to dive, yes.
Still a 100% dive. If that isn't a dive there are no dives.

Compare it to Monreal on Valencia, which also bordered on a dive but had much more foul percentage in it than the Ronaldo one.
That was rightly not given.

The amount of soft, or straightforwardly ridiculous, penalties Real and Ronaldo get is simply laughable.

So true

Hala's posts make me giggle

Pretty sure Barca's number of soft pens isn't that far behind tbh

by RealGunner Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:25 am

Both Barca and Madrid have been heavily favoured for decades in La Liga lol. It's hilarious seeing both set of fans blaming each other for corruption and what not when rest of the la liga clubs just laugh at both of them.

That gave you a lot of respect, you finally have respect.

All right you lost it, you had it there like a second but you lost it.

LFP is Perez land, it's not coincidentally called Liga Florentino Perez.

Shit man, hope Hans is okay.

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 7:30 am

It wsnt a dive because Savic' outstretched leg clipped Ronaldo's knee. Soft? Maybe but a correct decision nontheless

i can't believe there are people wasting their time with this stuff. The game was like 14 hours ago, Andre Ward became champ since then, we won 3-0 nothing will changethat

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 9:55 am

LaLiga need goal line technology. Amazing how they haven't already acquired it yet

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:09 pm

Valencia can't even beat Granada at home these days.

Cancelo Laughing

LaLiga version of Valencia. You could give him acres of space and he still wouldn't find a teammate with his crosses. Would fit in exceptionally well with all the other average Fbs at Barca. They should definitely buy him. 11 crosses in total by him with only 1 finding a teammate Laughing

by Jay29 Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:13 pm

Valencia are in a relegation battle, which is baffling considering the talent they have. No wonder Parejo wanted to jump ship to Sevilla in the summer.

Sevilla/Valencia next week as well. Doesn't get easier for them.

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:20 pm

Tbh they should have won this game if not for Ochoa heroics. They have been very unlucky. Their weakest point is their defence. They combine well in attack but they need a number 9. Rodrigo has become accustomed to the wings and doesn't play like a real striker anymore. Next week is going to be super entertaining. Both Sevilla and Valencia have weak defenders and their strength is their attack. The only difference is Sevilla have managed to get results whereas Valencia havent or else they'd be fighting eachother in a relegation battle. Sevilla have come back to win games in the last 5 or so mins in atleast 4/5 games. Valencia haven't had that luck

I think they should ride out this season and rebuild from the next season. They look deflated. Munir looked the most passionate out there and he just arrived

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 12:43 pm

If LaReal win today they'll move up to 4th level on points with Villarreal and ahead of Atleti. Massive incentive to beat Barca next weeks to break into the top 4

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:00 pm

Sporting just equalise after LaReal took the lead. La Real were literally playing an 9 man line defence with nobody pressuring the Sporting midfielders. It was just a straight line Laughing

by Doc Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:02 pm

Not like La Real need incentive. They, for whatever reason or reasons, seem to just know how to beat them or for the very least, get favourable results at the Anoeta against them.

Also, lol @ Valencia. Their sorrow is my joy. Apparently.

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:43 pm

What a golazo by Inigo Martinez of all people

by Doc Sun Nov 20, 2016 1:45 pm

I don't I have ever seen him score a free kick. Not when I view La Real anyway. My goodness, not a damn thing the Sporting keeper could have done.

by halamadrid2 Sun Nov 20, 2016 4:11 pm

Villarreal losing. It's amazing how they can turn every game they play into a proper borefest

by Doc Sat Nov 26, 2016 10:01 am

Depor with yet another injury time heart break. Finished 4-3 to Malaga.

by Mr Nick09 Sat Nov 26, 2016 10:21 am

Harmonica is having a ceisure

by halamadrid2 Sat Nov 26, 2016 1:47 pm

Valencia playing their usual XI but with Abdennour at RB instead of Cancelo/Montoya. Sevilla playing with an extra midfielder

by Jay29 Sat Nov 26, 2016 1:50 pm

Sevilla team:

Rico; Mercado, Rami, Pareja, Escudero; Kranevitter, N'Zonzi; Sarabia, Vazquez, Vitolo; Vietto

I'm expecting a back four but it's always possible Vitolo plays RWB.

by Jay29 Sat Nov 26, 2016 2:49 pm

Sevilla playing a back three. Escudero is playing LWB but tucking into midfield. Vitolo LW and Sarabia RW.

Sampaoli ffs
