Last nights final was very dodgy. I liked both teams but i knew Barca would win despite the fact that Arsenal's win would be a dream win (even without the sending off) but wtf was the refree, a barca player ?

List of some aweful decisions

1. Lehman is red carded. Allow the play and give barca the goal damn it ¬¬
   
2. The goal Arsenal goal was a blatant dive. My lord was the linesman blind ? I saw it even tho i was sleepy and the tv cam was zoomed out
   
3. Henry made a tackle got the ball and was kicked by a barca player from behind. Henry gets a yellow card
   
4. There were atleast 3-4 aweful tackles by barca but only one card was given

How can you have such aweful refering in a match ....

Congrats to Barca. I knew they'd win once they scored the first one which was only a matter of time.

I agree with you (most of the points )

1. Lehmann touched Eto'o's (or another Barca player's if I'm mistaken) foot. It should have been a yellow instead.
2. Yeah, that was what I saw, too. But my friend said Barca player used his hand to ... (I don't remember )
3. Agree
4. Agree

It was a good game though.
Props for Arsenal's defense.
Props too for Ronaldinho's play.
Barca won the game just because Arsenal were exhausted.
The last ten minutes were boring.

I agree with all your points JA

IMO, the referee spoilt what would have been an amazing game by sending off Lehmann

Still, it was a good match

The match was good, but the referee was a total arse. Arsenal had the game sorted, even with 10 men, they played extremely well. When Henry had an short interview with Sky Sports, his said that he was constantly getting hurt, Motta and Puyol attacking his ankles and his knees, but the referee didn't do anything.

Oh and on a side note, Henry will probably stay at Arsenal

tbh who cares sometimes i get sick of watching the showponies diving around getting hurt and having a cry


but my point is the fa cup was better liverpool is a true team and gerrard is a true hero

gerrard is the best!! simply awesome in both CL & FA Cup finals...

btw eto'o goal..  i think he was in an offside position... poor linesmen!!

Nah varun, eto'o was on side

FIFA president said that the refree sucked too pwnt
He said this wont happen in the WC tho.

thekid:
1) it was eto'o
2) nah the barca player (puyol i think) didnt do anything

Barca deserved it i guess but i just feel that it could have been a better match if he had just given the goal + yellow or only the goal.
I agree the rules state he cant wait to decide for the advantage play but it was clear guily would tap it in. No one was there to block his shot or tackle him. The red was fair tho. Thats what the rules state. Even if the goalkeeper touches the ball outside the box, the goal keeper gets a straight unconditional red according to the Champions League rule .... still

Ok Lehmann was sent off but Arsenal still played well They perfectly exploited Barca. The lobs in the 6 yard box have troubled barca for the past 2 or so years. They knew it and they exploited it

But still i believe if Puyol and Maques were given yellows it would be a lot more difficult for them to mark Henry that tightly .... mabbe Henry would slip one past them .... That would sure have killed Barca off ... 2-0 down to a 10 man squad would kill off their morals

EDIT: I loved the last interview that Henry gave

JA, the interview with Sky Sports?
It was classic.

Yeah they showed it here on ESPN. Just before they went off air. Just so i know we are talking of the same interview, im talking of the one given on the pitch just before the final ceremony and after the final wistle.

The one where that lady comes in the end and takes henry to the prize ceremony and when he was talking he was like looking back and saying .... ".... hmmm i dont know .... i didnt see ronaldinho .... you keep talking of him ... all i saw was hendrik larson .... he made 2 cruical passes for the 2 goals. he was the key in this match ... "
