PBP: La Liga J25 | Atlético Madrid v FC Barcelona | 26 February 2012 [R]

this automatic yellow for handball rule is stupid

Fukin refs really need to stop giving YCs for unintentional hand balls. Call the foul and keep the card.

OK, handball on Alexis, but yellow?!

I think the cameras missed it but Pedro's on for Cesc.

Messi golazo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Messi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brlliant FK !

Pulls an Henry.

gooooooooooooooooooooollllaazzzzzzoooooooooooo

MeSSi!!!!

that's a new one for the vintage collection! holy fookin cow

umm...wow

yeah, tie your shoe, Leo. The laces definitely messed up that cross from the FK.

like Dinho in WC '02 vs. England. Courtois just got Seaman'd.

...and it looks like the Scrabble game is over. Pique on for Alexis.

edit: triple post faux pas (surely match threads are special circumstances, no?)

haha awesome goal, 2nd time messi has done that vs Atletico Madrid

it's not a faux pas, just shows how much you care!

Good defending against Messi on that break. Too bad it wasn't a RM defender ... or else that'd be a goal or a red card foul.

Victor comes up huge again. Phew.

2 more yellows and this game breaks a La Liga record, according to the GOL TV announcer (Spanish).

Damn ... that was off Busquets hand. We got 3 big calls for us today. Refs helped us today. Things starting to balance out for the season

Holy holy holy San Victor!!!

A win is a win.

My teams are 3 for 3 this weekend.

Insanely lucky, we were.

yeah kinda but compared to how lucky some other teams are id say it was fine.

from one regular double/triple poster to another

This guy was a bit of a joke. He was whistle- and card-happy, which set a precedent that he would call everything tight. Then when he misses a couple calls, it stands out because he should have caught it.
