Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

Did he mean the goal was terrible for football because he doesn't agree with the offside rule, or because he thinks the referees made a mistake? If he thinks the goal is not offside by the rules then it confirms what we all knew about the level of Spanish referees.

 

It's silly, but he touches the keeper and is kinda in the way. Theres no way Lunin gets to the ball anyways, so thats poor from their player. Henry said in the post-game show that in cases like that you put you hands up and get out of the way.

 

Real Madrid typically does not want players that do not want to be part of Real Madrid, and in my experience looks after its (ex) players better than most large clubs. If Kubo is happy at La Real, which he really seems (as you said), then he'll be their player for a long time. Should La Real and/or Kubo decide to move on from eachother, then Real Madrid is fully within its right to trigger the clause, as the clause has a significant economic value. But I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

 

Of course, you need two to tango (though the starting point is that Kubo agreed to the clause..). We don't know the specifics of the clause of course, but I'm sure the club – that definitely has lawyers and advisers that can count to 10 – has protected itself.

 

Who gives a fk, Benz was called offside to against Pool in the CL final. I did not hear the media talk about that.

 

I think we agree tbh. And again, I'm sure the club has protected itself from losing value. The mechanism could also be that the buying club (or La Real) compensates Real Madrid. It doesn't have to be that Real Madrid actively has to flip the player (i.e., buy back and sell). Anyway, like I said, we I think we're arguing the same from different perspectives.

 

That was an offside. No need for discussion about it. I agree with the thought of he probably wouldn't have been able to even bother the player, Benzema goal in cl final should have stood.

This is the point that I also heard from owen hargreives and presenter as well as Henry, and most of our players, coach and randomn analysts. He interfeered, doesn't matter if the gk had a chance. They have disallowed thousands of goals for partial obstruction of vision when the striker takes off the net and puts it top corner. The gk wouldn't have saved that one either but it got ruled off 90 percent of times. Might be a shit rule, same as the sleeve hand ball but that is the rule and how it's been applied almost all the time.

Carvajal escaped without a red. That was the ******** up. He sould have gotten at least a very orange yellow card if not sent off.

 

Well I would be bitching about our idiot player and bad luck rather than the call being out of this world.

Discuss all you want, I just see similar stuff called every week so as soon as I saw him behind lunin, I figured why they called it. Maybe in the spirit of the game it shouldn't but legally and based on usual decisions, it was.

 

The call was soft and maybe the Leipzig player did not really change outcome, but to say he was passive is being blind or biased. Player was right behind Lunin and you can argue he impeded Lunin from moving. But on top of that, he was very stupid to give Lunin a push so if there was any doubt whether he was active or not, that push cleared it.

 

This is the worst conspiracy against a team I have ever seen. It's clear that UEFA, RFEF, and FIFA are all AGAINST us. It's obvious. I read this on this board every week. Yet, decisions in our favor keep getting called.

The entities that want to bring us and Don Flo Corleone down must be furious because whatever they are doing to BRING US DOWN is clearly not working.

Girona and Medina Cantalejo are probably behind it all, they are OUT TA GET US.

 

There is no conspiracy against us

we need to drop that silly talk. Every team has calls or scheduling that works against them in every sport. We only follow closely ours so that’s what we see and think it’s only us. Same for injuries.

it also wouldn’t make any sense. Madrid is the biggest and most influential team in football. A struggling league sabotaging its biggest star and money maker is silly. If anything, across all sports, the big franchises/teams are known to get the benefit from the refs.

We are the richest club with the greatest history and pedigree, known for having the best players in the world and also being led by the greatest executive and have the most silverware to show for it. Let’s stop the nonsense of us being conspired against and just enjoy our great team

 

Lahoz is a clown.

And so is everyone thinking football entities conspire against Real Madrid.

I think the whole Negreira scandal is very serious and I hope the investigation continues and Barcelona gets punished.

Aside from that, I don't see Madrid getting harmed to the point it makes me believe the ENTIRE system conspires against us, as some people believe.

 

I thought the same. Used to think the referee was either shit or just didn't like us for some horrible decisions but that was it. But the Barcelona scandal makes me wonder if there was foulplay rather than conspiracy.

 

Well there is cheating and then there is conspiracy.

Barcelona straight up cheated

Barcelona paying off refs on the side is influenced by Barcelona themselves , not by the league or refs hating Madrid

 

you would if she asked for your eye hand and leg

that’s what mama Mbappe is doing
