OOOOOUSH.
not a pen to me, though its not the worst call Ive ever seen. however, it is a very harsh call considering the circumstances. the very best refs are the ones who dont feel the need to take over the game. this guy folded under the pressure. big game, felt it deserved a big call.
wow. the replays on the net dont do that justice. Im watching the recorded match here in the states and real-time that looks a horrible, horrible call.
I wish some of these refs would get a fucking clue, it should only be under extraordinary circumstances that a player gets sent off in a game of this magnitude, yet opposing players always seem to get sent off against Madrid and Barca.
Nani's challenge wasn't a red card in an ordinary game and definitely shouldn't be in a game where the world is watching and anticipating a good game of football. The ref just ruined the game, a game on a level that we don't get to see too often. I wanted to see United and Madrid slug it out for the second half and the ref spoiled it imo and that just pisses me off.
I'm with Roy Keane on this one.
Studs into the body is a red card unless the ref shows leniency in this case he didn't.
In The English game at any level that is not a red, in Europe you are giving the ref a reason to give a red.
As as edit, does that mean if you go up for a scissor kick and make contact with a head is that a red? to me its the same thing.
