    8 yellow cards. :56: That's shocking.

    Could have been down to 8 men.

    It amazes me that anyone outside Spain could prefer Real Madrid to Barca. They are just complete scumbags, diving, kicking, moaning etc. Act like a bunch of spoiled brats:47:

    Pepe has got to be the biggest * in world football, one minute he's acting the big man, next minute he's rolling on the ground after breaking a finger nail:38:

    The only Madrid players I don't mind are Ozil, Kaka, Benzema and Higuain. Can't stand the rest of them:31:

    madrid could have had half there team sent off the night. thought ramos was unlucky with the second yellow but you see that type of challenge getting a yellow and in some cases even a red

    I agree they dont do it to the same extent week in week out but thats simply because they dont need to because they'll be a million times better than their opponents but when they are tested and they usually are by madrid madrid they resort to the same disgraceful, embarrassing tactics as them, it doesnt make them better, barca dont need to dive etc to beat madrid but they do it anyway.
    Its their problem no one elses, your entitled to your opinion but no offence imo its nonsense.

    Let's be honest here Barca would have won that game 3/4 - 0 had Lass been sent off.

    So in your opinion Barca dive to beat Madrid? In mine they act up because their opponents are attempting to cheat their way to victory but I'm the one talking nonsense?

    Only a fool could not see that the only way Barcelona will beat Madrid under Mourinho is to start from a base of not being bullied and then their superior ability kicks in. This has been the case for 2 seasons now. It is an undoubted fact.

    I always think back to Stokes tackle on Papac last season and Robson's forearm smash on Dailly a few years ago. These are completely out of character moments from a Celtic side but what they do is signal intent that we will not be bullied. I see no difference whatsoever between that and what Barca resort to against Madrid. None at all.

    I wouldnt say it was disgraceful and embarassing, your speaking like they were diving about like madmen.

    They only lower themselves to Madrids level because they milk everything, surround the Ref etc and Barca just copy it, if they wanted to play fair and square Barca would be well up for it.

    That one Contrao pulled back Messi I thought should have been a red, Messi would have gone through and it would have been a 50/50 chance of a goal, also amazing when Diarra never got a 2nd yellow before half-time that was the worst tackle of the game too :56:

    Madrid are lucky * to avoid loads of red cards, the Ramos one was harsh but Ramos and Ronaldo should have been sent off at the weekend and Alonso and Pepe should have been sent off last week.

    I would say diving is trying to con the Ref to win penalties/freekicks or fake injury off the ball to get someone sent off.

    All Barca did was milk fouls or dangerous tackles, because Madrid do it against them and if they never then theyd be giving Madrid an unfair advantage. If we had milked it like that against Porto in the UEFA final we might have won.

    Exactly. The way James is going on you'd think Barcelona were diving left right and centre all night long.

    Its mad how sneaky etc than Real Madrid have become since Mourinho went there. You never seen Hierro, Carlos, Zidane, Beckham, Raul, Ronaldo etc surrounding the ref, diving and kicking their way through Barca or vice versa. Since Mourinhos went there its like theres a battle on the pitch to get people booked and sent off and pressure the Referee every second of the game.
