Champions League Final Tonight

[Admiral Huddy]

I think even the avid man utd fan would admit that the have their fair share of decision go their way. I counted at least 4 corners that should have gone Chelsea's way that ended up as goal kicks, one man u player should have been off and a high kick that should have been a penalty to Chelsea. There are 3 Man utd fans here (All have never set foot inside Manchester ) that do agree.

But that happens at every game. People just focus on United because they won it.

That's irrelevant - there was clearly intent.

It was also outside the box

You're talking about the wrong incident.. THere was a high kick that the lines mines flagged for.. then ref played on for advantage.., of which there was none.. He should have gone back to the spot..

Sorry...did I miss the occasion when Hypia was tripped in Chelsea's area and didn't get anything...

Oh wait...

Was probably cowering behind my sofa at that point.

Haven't got the Rio/Cole challenge yet...

But the linesman flagged it, outside the box... but Cole kept going and the referee played on... Cole then lost the ball and moaned the ref didn't call it.

If Cole would have carried on and got the ball into the net, but the referee had called them back you would still be moaning.

It was a good call IMO, Cole took it almost to the byline before losing the ball... he had a decent run on.


That said I can't believe some people (not just on here just in general) that are finding anything to moan at as an excuse.

It was easily one of the best all English games we've seen in a fair few years, more than lived up to the hype as the "Game of Games" and it could have gone either way.

It had everything a good game should have.
The referee kept his cards in his pocket unless absolutely needed, clearing off the line, balls hitting the post/crossbar, good movement and play from players... it was just overall a really good game.
