But it's only a matter of time before they're found out. Coz anybody who knows anything about fitba knows there's fuck all future for this team without a plan B. The thing is, that was plan B from Luis Enrique. He switched his formation up and then even with 20 mins to go needing 3 goals he doesn't bring on his 30m striker, but Sergi Roberto. He switched it up and it paid off for him. Excellent management from him. sassaaaa 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bighouse 1,012 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It was fitting that PSG wore white as that was the greatest capitulation in sports history.

nelsonRFC82 305 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Usual allegations of cheats, UEFAlona etc. going on I see. Doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny as far as I'm concerned. If, as alleged, the ref was corrupt and handed the game to Barcelona, why did he initially give a corner for the Neymar pen and only awarded the penalty after intervention from the offical behind the goal? Why did he book Saurez for diving in the 2nd half instead of giving them a penalty when he had the chance? Why did he turn down a penalty appeal for the tug on Messi? Under orders to get Barca through and does all that? Mibbee ref just likes sailing close to the wind and knew he could manufacture 3 goalscoring chances beyond the 88th minute of the game? FFS, there are even complaints about 5 mins of injury time added in a game that had 5 2nd half goals, 6 2nd half subs (one during injury time), a penalty awarded in the 89th minute but not actually scored until 91st due to resulting protests etc. and also saw a stat on twitter (not sure if verified but Gab Marcotti RT'd FWIW) that showed PSG had "control" of the ball for 33 minutes while the ball was out of play...if anything 5 minutes was light!

Barcelona have previous for this with their match vs Chelsea that was probably the most corrupt performance of all time. I never said it was a penalty, of course he dived. Although I can see why it was given from the angle the ref had. The ref was conned however, but again how does that equate to corruption? Is anyone really suggesting the ref was trying to force a Barcelona win but waited until the final two minutes when they needed 3 goals? With regards their "previous", Barcelona were knocked out in the semi-final having had a goal harshly disallowed at the end of their semi against Inter a few years back. All part of the grand UEFA plan to keep everyone off the scent I suppose. Or are all decisions against Barca "honest mistakes" and any decisions in their favour corrupt? Decisions go for them, decisions go against them. More decisions tend to go in their favour, but this is often the way for the bigger name teams. We benefit from this in Scotland (or at least have historically), but often end up on the wrong end of calls when we play in Europe. I just find the corruption/UEFA conspiracy chat tedious and relatively easily debunked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
