Esmond Million's Bung Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I gave up after 10 minutes. Player falls down = free kick, player slips = free kick, player runs into a player = free kick + all of the writhing in agony, 22 cheats with another 14 waiting on the bench, it's like watching a very poor and very camp ice skating holiday on ice show. 7 free kicks? I haven't seen 1 foul. and then the linesman misses 2 Barcelona players at least 3/4 yards offside almost resulting in a goal, confounded by a Real defender running into Suarez and rollin around like he had been shot.

I agree with you in principle because it's dire but you can't be offside from a goal kick. Commentator really should have known that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hate Barcelona always have done find everything about the club scum from dodgy transfer dealings and player tax evasions..

samo II Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 It's certainly been poor, regardless of how the commentary has tried to spin it, Only thing that could really kick it off is an early Real goal in the second half, or someone losing a man. Sadly, thanks to the tonne of pointless fouling, it looks a lot more likely to be the latter that will spark it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right; the majority is 'theatre', to be fair. One or two actual challenges, but there is a tendency to drop even before fouls hit - very poor.

Started the second half as the first ended, unfortunately; think the commentator cursed it by saying Barca have found the net in some crazy number of fixtures in a row this season.

Pezo Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I don't think I have seen an entertaining version of this fixture in the last 10 years, and I didn't watch it before that so basically I have never seen this game deliver a good game. Massive hype that never delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which the commentator showed he doesn't know the rules of Football, surely a well paid commentator should know you can't be offside from a goal kick???

If ROD punts it up to JK from a goal kick he can`t be offside but if Flinty hoofs it to him from the six yard line he can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMB I'm surprised that you don't appreciate just how talented and skilful these guys of both teams are. To a man they are all superb footballers and the cream of Eurppean football. Top drawer. Its now 1-1 and and really hotting up. As for the diving and feigning injury that's what you get with Latino football. It's in their psychology to try and trick the referee. It's all part of the game to them. They are bemused at us Brits when we critise them for cheating. They can't understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules from dead ball situations are completely different than if the ball is in general play, unfortunately a lot of Football fans don't even know a lot of the rules for the game they support, that's bizarre imo!

That's the problem, these players are everything they say they are and i'm glad that enough football broke out in amongst the theatrical shit to see 2 goals scored. They can be bemused as much as they like, they are just cheats and 10 minutes was all I could personally stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Prem, cheating goes on in all the games, the same as in all the top leagues, or, are you saying that all the players who come from other leagues suddenly become saints when they enter England?!!
