    A goal from their first attck.

    Van der Saar was a shambles there.

    It will be a goalfest now

    That eto'o lad is rubbish:)


    Every one of the papers over here has been harping on about him being the weak link in the Barca attack.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu


    That really is a top quality goal.

    Am I wrong or is the camera going for mainly long-distance shots?

    Barca look a totally different team.

    Sound is absolutely rubbish on RTE.

    Barca lucky there...... Could have easily been red.

    Yeah, was just saying that. He must have layed Eto for 1st goal on betfair !!

    Utd seem to be pressing very high up the pitch in an attempt to disrupt Barca. Seems to be working for the most part except for the goal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    How fcuking close was that??


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Camera angle is absolutely wrecking my head. That and Andy Gray's very biased commentary.

    RTE's sound is woeful so this will have to do unfortunately.

    RTE, even with the dodgy sound is the only option for me, as Andy Gray and Clive Tyldsley are on my "avoid if at all possible" list.

    that was breathtaking.

    Should have played the advantage there.

    Anderson not doing very well in my view.

    Decent effort there from Xavi too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Had my house on Xavi scoring that......

    I'm homeless now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Don't care (just want the game to be a cracker)
    And another occasion where advantage should have been played there too, Messi comes away with the ball after three players tackle him and the ref calls it back.

    Barca seem a different class to United since they've scored. Harsh on United who started extremely well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    The cameramen should be shot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    is scholes on the bench?

    giggs is out of it


  • Posts: 4,186 ✭✭✭ Braelynn Whispering Bargain


    The stadium looks class,they way it is so steep.
    Very intimidating for an away team.

    Barca are lovely to watch,quite annoying when they pass the ball the whole way up to the goal,only for them to pass it the whole way back to their keeper :D

    Who is Barcelona's equivalent of Ji Sung Park and JOS?

    Barcelona look better in almost all areas of the pitch with Anderson, and two above mentioned looking out of their depth.

    Giggs looks knackered too.

    Don't look like they are time wasting to me, unless you count running around the park with the ball as time wasting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Will Ferguson have the half time talk on the pitch? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,311 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    Barcelona (Barcelona fan)
    Some run and touch by Messi.

    O'shea was time wasting earlier! :P

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,910 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    Don't care (just want the game to be a cracker)
    Messi has been different class in that half


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,677 ✭✭✭Chong


    This is an absolute shambles in every department.

    Park needs to come off he is offering simply nothing, and as for Rio he is not ready for this match at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Its like watching a sophisticated timepiece when they get their game going. Only the left side fella, Silvinho is less than smoothly convincing going forwards.

    I mean the way they are really taking their time taking throw ins/ kick outs etc. Kind of thing you normally see in the 85th minute not the 45th...

    As for their passing, jesus christ... have they made a bad pass yet? Unbelievable ball control

    United really need to up the tempo

    They look a class act alright. Stroking it around at their lesiure.

    jeez, Messi has really shown his class so far. On the bright side for utd Barca didn't put them away so they are still right in it and are bound to have at least a couple of chances. Shocking defending for the goal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,677 ✭✭✭staker


    fletcher's sorely missed
    utd need to go 2 up front,get at em

    Park is number 1 shambles, Tevez needs to come on badly.

    For me the only players who have offered anything are JOSH, Roon and Ron.

    Barca playing like they're 3 up, but they're not. United can still get back into this.

    Damn looks like itv have switched their hd feed to standard def after some ridiculous looking problems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,337 ✭✭✭✭monkey9


    What a half of football from Barca. Messi is coming more and more into and what more can you say about Iniesta! He just oozes class.


    Also, anyone know the odds for Tevez to equalize? Paddy Power and Bet365 aren't giving him as an option

    Barca deserve to be more than 1 up, but at this score anything can happen still. Utd need to change the system though. Rooney is wasted on the wing in fairness. They need to bring Giggs off, bring Tevez on, switch Ronaldo out to the left with Rooney in behind Tevez if they are to match the Barca threat I think.
