Does Barcelona get special treatment? They seem to play against 10 and 9 man teams when a title is at risk. Very unusual. Is Messi super protected?

What actually happened?

by Guest Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:22 am

People are fooling themselves that Porto lost because of red cards.

Porto would have lost even if they played with 12 men. Get real people and stop this obesession (which comes from jealousy) of Barca.

No empire lasts for ever..the time for your/our club will come too...

Tbf the sending offs happened right at the end of the game.....

And they were both second yellow card offenses....

Wiggles is awesome though Very Happy

Porto didn't have much a chance, anyways. No Falcao, no win.

by The Franchise Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:27 am

You do realise that both red cards were very fair right?

Could be, but Barca gets a lot of those breaks. Didn't it happen to Chelsea as well as Inter? It bears consideration.

by Ganso Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:35 am

Yeah the red cards were fair.they did influence cescs goal though,and had the ref given the penalty it would be 1-1

by The Franchise Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:35 am

What breaks?

We are lucky that 2 clear yellow equal a red and that Guarin lost his mind and made a horrible tackle?

I dont see that as catching a break.

Chelsea? Inter?

Is the forum that dull we need to talk about things from 2 seasons ago and more?

Barcelona would have won with or without the red cards, and they were both very deserved, pointless thread.

I see. So, how many times have Chelsea (or Inter or Milan, or Real Madrid, or Bayern, or Juventus, or ManU, or Liverpool) have had the benefit of playing important European games against less than 11 man teams. Just wondering.

i'm pretty sure porto deserved 2 penalties. and barca a few yellow cards for dives. that would have changed things

by the xcx Sat Aug 27, 2011 2:07 am

Im sligthly annoyed the fact that diving and playacting dosent get you booked in barcas case.

by The Franchise Sat Aug 27, 2011 2:09 am

What diving? You people are out of your mind lol

I saw Mascherano pretend to be more hurt then he was, but there was still contact. Other then that, there was nothing.

Porto MIGHT of got one penalty, one.

I dont really care to be honest.

If the opponant does things which warrant yellow and red cards, they get them. I dont see how thats controvsial.

Maybe the fact Barca have the ball 70% of the time, have small, quick, tricky players the opposing teams have to make loads of tackles and have to be aggressive and use force....is it really a surprise when they get more cards then?

Of course they were. They always are when they benefit Barcelona. What a silly thought I had.

If Porto won it it surely it wouldn't have been an important trophy would it. Oh and people Platini clearly explained everything yesterday about protecting messi.

Since you're talking about a single player from barca your are addressing the whole team basically. Protecting messi means protecting barca. They should be able do express themselves freely on the pitch. Fouls would make barca stop playing and UEFA not likey Very Happy
