Manchester United vs Real Madrid Match Thread. 5/3/2013 K.O 19.45

Does everyone agree it was a yellow tho? When I watched it in real time I thought it was a free and no card, but when you watch it in slow mo he straightens his leg at the moment of impact instead of pulling away, I don't think it ws a red but was a yellow and the ref had a pretty good view.

Mourinho wants the United job

Anyone doubting the red card should YouTube the West Ham vs Everton game from earlier in the season..... Two near identical red cards dished out for Nani like challenges..... Both rescinded.

That shot of Fergie barging his way past some unfortunate member of staff should be a gif hit by 10 pm.

Mourinho: 'The best team lost'

Fair statement? Discuss

So do a lot of people, people, who for the most part wanted Real to win, it wasn't a red, he had eyes for the ball.

It was dangerous play

Keane can't really be preaching about dangerous play

Disgraceful from Ferdinand

You would think he would have learned how to be sporting by this stage in his career.

Arbeloa only got yellow for something similar in the first half

Was a great game, but dont think the sending off ruined it, most of the big games have some sort of controversy. Liverpool were denied a clear pen in their match with Zenit. Madrid had a goal harshly ruled out, and Rafael handled it on the line and got away with it.

Rarely games like this live up to the billing and this did sending off or not. Post hit 3/4 times, some poor poor finishing by both teams (Utd especially), some great keeping.

As a neutral really enjoyed it, and would have no matter who won

Here no offence, i couldnt give a ****e about liverpool. The sending of certainly ruined it. What was an even game that was swinging end to end turned into a 10 minute battering due to an extra man.

Rest of the post is spot on though. Cracking couples of ties with, as you say, everything in them

The pundits are making up rules and Roy is pulling them to pieces.

Very very very soft red.

Gibson sent off later. Both challenges were deemed not even worthy of a yellow afterwards.

Think its funny Keane says it is a red card

Straight after the red

Keane fairly sticking to his guns saying it was a definate red

Cienciano

Southgate and Dixon are idiots. They're saying intent and eye on the ball doesn't matter, but they keep talking about it as if it's the most important thing there.

Keane is spot on here, and Chiles doesn't like it!

United robbed there, but it's not as if United haven't had their fair share of the rub of the green in this competition over the years.

Ferguson is the only manager I've ever seen Mourinho pander to like that. If he stuck his nose any further up Fergie's ar$e he'd have to be surgically removed. I can only assume he has his eye on getting the United job at some time down the road.

Roy keeps saying "the challenge" though. That's incorrect, it wasn't a challenge. He was trying to take a touch ffs.

When I first saw the foul I thought yellow max. But those replays don't do Nani any favours. It's a brave decision by the ref and I think he should have used more common sense and just gave the yellow. By the letter of the law, probably the correct decision.

Said it was a definite red, dangerous play.

Typical Keane response
