UEFA Champions League 2013/2014

It was a yellow, Chiellini wasn't even following the ball there and just tried to slow Ronaldo once he realized he is about to be out paced for the ball.

Never a red though.

 

[Pajo]

He was the last man. It's a rule ffs, every professional foul from a last man SHOULD be a red.

That being said, i wouldn't have given red simply for game. It was ruined with that call and it was pretty good game till then. Refs should kind of, 'bend the rules' in such occasions, for the beauty of the game.

 

[The Wall]

There is no such rule anymore, I've saying that for ages now. The rule is now: red if there is a likely chance to score, no red if there is only a promising chance. Giving that Ronaldo was basically chasing the ball on the flank that was only a promising chance.

Care to look up for that somewhere?

If so, it's still 50-50, the ref couldn't predict what would happened. CR is fast as fuck, he might have touched the ball a moment later and be 1 on 1 with Buffon. He also might have went to the goal line and cross (which was most likely). It's refs job to predict, but even if he does it wrong, it's not an 'awful' decision as some claim, but 50-50 one. CRs dive as he felt like he was shot made it even worse.

CHielini did make mistake there, he didnt even look at the ball, but a way to stop CR. He deliberately raised his arm and hit CR. Maybe if he used his body and ran parallel to CR, wouldn't have been red, or even a foul.

We can talk all we want, lots of debate can be made there.

Chiellini didn't deserve a red at all. It was a yellow at max, or just a foul to be honest. '

As for Vidal, he was touched a bit before he fell, and that is actually a penalty.

I'm happy for the result, but Juve with 10 men actually played much better than Real all game.

lol if that was messi you would be going mental

The refereing experts are talking about it for a while now, you feel free to go through the football rulebook but you won't find a rule which says that it's an automatic red if the last player commits a foul. It simply doesn't exist anymore.

In my opinion giving the position on the pitch where it happened and Chiellini's body position and knowing the actual rule it was never a red card. Ronaldo also milked it with his pathetic acting(he isn't getting any hate around here for it though which I find hypocritical, but whatever...)

I edited my post about CR before you wrote

Yeah, i said it yesterday to a jubentino friend of mine (who also supports RM, he was on 50-50 yesterday) that CR felt like he was shot, which made it worse for the ref.

So glad jube lost like that... Piece of their own

When was the ''last man'' red card rule removed?

Few years ago. It was tweaked for the better.

Imo, it wasn't even a foul. Ronaldo had a bad touch, and Chiellini got in front of him, and was the shielding the ball with his arm. Ronaldo knew he got a bad touch, and went down like a pussy because he knew he lost the duel.

In the 30s Sunderland's goalkeeper died from injuries on the field, that's how rough soccer was back then, now it's just a bunch of fucking pussies going down at the slightest contact. This is a contact sport after all.

 

[Bergkamp]

He needs to leave Real, I remember how good he was in Lyon. He's never looked confident in Real, except for a few games here and there under Mou.

I think most people would've thought he would be one of the best strikers right now based on how he looked in Lyon. I'll add that he physically is worse than what he was at Lyon. He looks like he's gained weight and looks slow.

Wait, what? Ronaldo is 10x faster than Chielini, would have definitely run over him and get the ball. Chielini DELIBERATELY stopped him. Chielini didn't even LOOK at the ball, he didn't know where it is, he went straight to Ronaldo to stop him. It was 100% foul, 99% yellow and for red, it's debatable. 50% for me.

you sounding just like monster

Why, because it's basic football rule?

Agreed. Reminds me of when Adriano got red card for bringing Ronaldo down. He obviously exaggerated the contact though.

 

[Pajo]

yeah, Ronaldos dive when he fell like he was shot made it harder for the ref.

 

[wicked wizard]

no way a red ever, a yellow not for me and the foul was debatable. ronaldo could of stayed on his feet but he dived like a girl am not going to knocked him that much for it because most players dive. but if that was a barca player you and everyone els would be going crazy about it wasent a foul
