Where the feck is everyone? I know theres no PL team playing in it but only 5 page thread for the Champions League Semi?

Suprised too. I guess once man united or Liverpool aren't playing people have no interest.

I'm a fan of football, gimme any game, particularly a big european semi final like this and I'll watch it.

Ah come on; he could easily have broken Lisandro's ankle.

I know, it was slightly late and at speed. It could have gone either way. If the ref did not red card him, people would say he bottled it.

Yeah, the Premiere League, not to over use this phrase on soccer boards, "jizzfest" is over.

Gotta say I am surprised this is still goalless.

Games incredibly dull, both sides look average.

Yeah whoever comes through from Inter and Barca will be short odds to win it.

Wait until tomorrow night and if Madrid score watch the WUM in the Liverpool match thread

I was going to say this game needed a goal but a red card will have to do.

Messers Drury and Beglin had been struggling manfully to cope with the sheer lack of interest in this tie until Scarface got sent off.

Frisbee

Wouldn't be suprised to see this end 0-0 now.

I'd love a Lyon goal to make the second leg interesting.

I actually think that was harsh. Definite yellow, but not sure about red.

Getting caught with a 17 year old prostitute and now a red card.. not his week is it?

I think he had to go. A wild lunge that could have caused damage.

Now he is off early, he can have her home early, it is a school night after all

Stevecw

Very poor game so far. That was a deserved red card.
Hopefully Lyon will try attack a bit more in 2nd half with the extra man and liven the game up a bit.

Warper

Just checked the odds there - Lyon are 15-8 to win the match and 8-11 Draw no Bet.

No doubt whatsoever about the red.

Tbh, if you think that red card was harsh, football ain't really the sport for you.:)

Dont be at yourself

Fair play to the ref, that was a huge call, and he got it right. It's some atmosphere in the Allianz tonight, I hope the ref stays objective.

5/2 on betfair and evens draw no bet

Frisbee

LOL @ Dunphy lashing Bayern out of it with his competition joke.

Pepe LeFrits

Harsh me hole. A 1 game ban isn't nearly enough for that.

Ush1

Summed it up fairly well, a cowards challenge. Ribery is a good player but let himself down badly.

Even better - 5-2 is a good price and evens DNB is too. I cant see them losing anyways and they have a great chance of winning now.

Get on everyone.

Did you catch the reply at half time? How Lisandro's leg didn't break I do not know. :eek:

Got on Lyon at 19/20 draw no bet.

If this was a better match I think we'd have something to post about match has been dire so far.

That's why they call him the warrior from Buenes Aires.:cool:

However you look at it, that really was the ugly face of football from Franck Ribery.

I'd thank Jonathan Stevenson if there was an option on the BBC page.

From Paul, bored in a B&B, Lincoln, via text to 81111: "Such a deflated game for a Champions League semi-final. Both Lyon and Bayern look very average. This year's winner will come from Barca vs Inter."

Liked this one from same page

Ush1

Typical Puel, keeps Kallstrom on, probably the slowest pro footballer in the world. Bastos on please.

Headshot

Lyon are awful

bayern are there for the taking but they're just not showing attacking force or imagination

Frisbee

How did Muller miss that?

Gilt edged chance, great run from Lahm

everdead.ie

Toulalon off too

Headshot

10-10 men now

Bodhisopha

Poor decision.

amacachi

Did he curse at the referee or something? What was that for?

parker kent

Bayern are blessed this year. Harsh second yellow again to help them out. Getting quite a bit of luck throughout the tournament.

Pepe LeFrits

Now that one was harsh.

He was a bit high with the challenge tbh

Mitch Connor

rough on Toulalan - Schweinsteiger's foot was just as high - it was a 50/50 challange between the two. If Toulalan deserved a booking, then so did Schweinsteiger.

MementoMori

harsh second yellow really - ref looking to balance things up imo
