La Liga Megathread

I'd need to see Milito's goal again tbh, I remember Pique's goal looked offside.

What 3 penalties? :smiley-laughing002:

The goal was rightly chopped off, Toure handled the ball in the build up.

It sure was

 

The goal was perfectly fine.

 

Aye if you allow handballs

 

Barça and Madrid always robbing in the Spanish League. Congratulations to Muñiz Fernández, the man of the match yesterday in Elche!

 

Will you be making the trip to La Rosaleda in November, RealBetis1907?

 

The law of the game is against deliberate handballs. The kicker was a few yards away from him he could not have done anything else.

 

The Ref gave that pen last night like his life was in danger!

 

This is Spain, corruption continues for the capital club and the RFEF is a puppet organization to cushion RMs chances and keep the minorities in the country at bay...Happens year after year...Bring on the European Super League

 

Of course. But I'm more crazy about my first visit to Parkhead next weekend.

 

Barça fans are not the most appropiate to complain about this situation. The same referee, Muñiz Fernández, brazenly benefited your team some days ago against Sevilla. Spanish League is bipolar. Refs, committees and media are at the service of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

 

A handball that was 2 yards away and right in at Toure's body isn't a deliberate handball, nor one where he could move out the way. It was a horrendous decision.

 

Yes,
Big teams in all the big leagues get the favorable decisions.

 

I'm not saying Barcelona never get decisions in their favour, they of course do but they also get decisions against them frequently as well, but I really do struggle to think of times in which Real have been truly hard done by.

 

It still affected the course of the ball and set up a chance which was then converted, all by Toure's hand.

It was the right decision

 

No it didn't. The ball was going to hit his stomach anyway. His hand made no difference and even then that doesnt matter. It was accidental.

 

In regards to the poll, it has to be Barca.

Real, look like they're getting a good team together... still suspect defensively and without a goal scoring striker to help Ronaldo out could see them fall short. Selling Higuain is a bizarre decision for me.

 

That's like saying ANY time the ball hits a hand, it's a freekick. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Re: Poll

Hopefully Madrid.
But i think Barca will do it again.

 

Please do let me know what fans can & cannot weigh in on

The stats are there throughout history and the capital club have benefited throughout the years...In particular under Perez the advantages are widely available online, RM with 44 penalties for, 10 against (+34)...Barcelona?...25 penalties for, 15 against (+10)...Bear in mind Barcelona are also the fairplay winners in the Primera for 4 years running which means less fouls and bookings than any other side.

This is Spain, not Catalunya...I'm sure Andalusians have been victims of their own brand of ethnic prejudices from the Castilla but hard to imagine it compares to that of Catalans - especially when it comes to footy...The capital club is the King's club and we know the corrupt history in Spain well enough

As for the Sevilla match, comparing a 1st half foul in the box for a team already leading that can be argued a foul to a last second penalty on a Pepe dragdown to save a team from losing points against the last place team in Spain simply underscores how biased you must be...And for a Betis supporter no less

 

Does anyone know why Sky Sports continually miss the start of some of their La Liga games?

For example, today's game between Almeria and Barcelona kicks off at 5pm UK time, yet the coverage begins at 5:15pm.

From 5pm until 5:15pm Sky Sports are showing a 15 minutes football gold show of Man City vs Man Utd from years ago!
