Bayern Munich -v- Fiorentina, SSP2 7:45pm

redout

redout

Bayern on a run averaging more than 3 goals a game!

staker

Is the sound out of sync??

redout

Imagine having Ribery on the left and Robben on the right ?

Must be great.

staker

Hopefully they'll keep up the recent form..
Bayern are starting all guns blazing

redout

Christ was the keeper doing!!!!!!!

redout

Chelsea's buddy Ovrebo looks huge.

One to many pies me thinks

daithijjj

Bayern with only one goal at home in the CL this season.

redout

United have been linked with Frey.

He has made two good stops so far.

redout

Whats all the hype with Mario Gomez ?

He was hyped up before Euro 2008 yet didnt bother turning up.

Doesnt seem to have brought his Stuttgart form to Munich.

redout

Peno Bayern

redout

Goal...........

1 - 0

Robben (Peno)

eZe^

I hate that refs do that, they should let play go on for a few seconds and see how the situation develops. Same happened in Paris in 06, Giuly put the ball in the back of the net after Lehman fouled Eto'o, that goal should have counted.

Also, lol @ richard keys bringing up the semi final last year and Chelsea fans being annoyed that the ref 'finally' gave a penalty...

redout

Goal...........

1 - 1

staker

Van Bommel way too slow off the line

redout

Apparently, Bayern have only lost one Champions League match in which they have led 1-0 at half-time. That was the famous 1999 final against Manchester United.

Aye, think it was mentioned in either the Uefa or Eurosport match facts aswell.

Both of these teams look like they will struggle against the bigger sides.

redout

Red card Fiorentina

Robben made a meal of it.

Ush1

Elbow was high though, but yeah, Robben sells it nicely.

staker

The intent was there, harsh though

Ush1

Man I hate Van Bommel.

staker

Jeebuz it's hitting off now

redout

Goal............

2 - 1

Klose 89min

staker

Linesman got that wrong badly

MR NINE

shocking decision

IvySlayer

Watching the replays, apparently refeering was awful.

redout

Sky giving Ovrebo some abuse.

"Horrific" is how they described his display.

Bringing up Barca - Chelsea again.

Saying now he is not up to it.

They have some axe to grind.

The refeereeing was the one pre-match prediction the pundits were always going to get 100% correct.

Though as a Bayern fan I'm relieved...

Shocking by the ref's in both games tonight, two major decisions which may have cost two teams a spot in the quarters, something is gonna have to be done sooner rather than later

And consdering these refs past matches.....

dfx-

Deserved red card for Gobbi imo...his elbow has absolutely no reason to be there. He was leading with it.

Klose is a more difficult one to call...but red wouldn't be harsh

Johner

Van Bommel should have seen red for that two footed tackle.

Peyton Manning

Not a great week for referees in the Champions League.

Another one of our favourite "celeb because he f*cked up before referees" Tom Henning Ovrebro (that infamous Chelsea - Barcelona game last year) was in charge, and disallowed a perfectly good Munich goal to give them a penalty instead (which they justly scored). See here

Then Klose grabbed the winning away goal in the 89th minute, despite being a shockingly obvious 5 yards offside. See here

Edit: New thread fail. Never saw this one. Apologies.

For anyone interested there's a good rundown (from Bayern fans' perspectives) on the Bayern blog, via the ironically titled site "the offside"
