Wait... why are we all posting in last year's La Liga thread? :shifty:

I prefer watching Frosinone-Carpi to be honest. - - - Updated - - - Same old shit, different year. As long as the tax evading, HGH midget plays for the Catalans, nonsense will occur. We should get a kickstarter going, to fund Luis' next attempt to put an end to Lionel's disgusting antics.

:sergio:

:tup: I blame Messi's doping regime for at least 25% of the global warming effect. The shit he exhales, pisses, shits is turning this planet into a barren wasteland for future generations. Luis should be awarded Nobel Prize for his attempt to save the planet.

:agree: I'm trying to see things from the Messi fanboi side, so I could see a yellow being warranted when you have that massive Messi bias. But otherwise, a good clean, hard foul. Free kick, and move along. Nothing to see here.

Should have been yellow. Not a red at all. :disagree:

Messi fanbois are so adorable when poor meek little Lionel gets fouled hard.

:tup: I don't particularly like Barca, Bayern, Real, ManU... but I've watched Barca matches for years when they play other big clubs, ever since Ronaldinho. I watched Madrid matches last year under Ancelotti, and way back in the early 00s under Del Bosque (nowhere near as many under Mourinho...

It's not like Barca was running up the score or anything either. It was 3-1 with 5 minutes + injury time left. Yes, the game is pretty likely wrapped up, but 1 more goal puts it beyond the shadow of a doubt. And Neymar was trying to make a move toward goal. Ridiculous that anyone is upset over...

That explains why you are such an everyman...

:agree: He's an incredible player. Question. The BEIN commentators keep saying Messi scored 49 league goals in 11/12 and Ronaldo only needs 2 more to pass him?? I thought Messi scored 50 in 11/12? - - - Updated - - - Nevermind, just answered it myself. He scored 50 in 37 according to...

Ronaldo desperately going for Messi's single season goal record. Already on a hat trick in the first 34 minutes... 48 goals on the season. If it wasn't for his stupid and petulant suspension this year, he'd likely have 50+ goals already. :lol: at these meaningless goals though.

I haven't tried that yet. I'm doing the blind thing for now.

I bet you thought that was very clever...

Madrid hits woodwork twice, gets scored on twice. :lol:

Protected from injuries, certainly. But also protected from tackles, which makes it much easier to beat defenders. Defenders are much more tentative about sliding into difficult tackles now then even 10 years ago, let alone 15-20 years ago, as cards are produced for far less than at that time. I...

Right... So the advances in sport science have only benefitted the attackers... Somehow the defenders have gotten worse. Ridiculous. The rules of the game have continuously been tweaked for the last 15-20 years to favour attacking play. Even the fact every "potentially" dangerous tackle is now...

...and I could say the exact same thing in return.

Yes, instead let's advocate no hard tackles in football. No sliding tackles for sure. In fact, let's just take it to the logical conclusion of no tackles at all. We can watch ballet on the pitch. A few Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar types prancing about the pitch, untouchable. This likely mirrors your...

Give it a fucking break Fred and Hist. I haven't once said "intentionally injure" someone. Morons. There's a massive difference between a "hard/brutal tackle" and "intentionally injuring". I'm advocating against lame rules that make blow-outs like these common-place in an absurdly unbalanced...
