Better than Demichellis.

But not by much!



And Messi was fouled 10 secs later and the Ref did not give it.

The Ref is out of his depth here.

Yep, linesman also at fault for the first half offside.

Nearly the same situation, need to score 3 to get through in 90 minutes

Can't be extra time now I think.

Must be so annoying for such an accomplished defender like Kompany to be playing alongside bumbling clowns like Demichaelis and Lescott

Indeed, that's why I said nearly

Neymar should be put down. His diving makes regular diving look like ... non...diving.. I dunno he just acts like a bitch is all.

Vinz Mesrine

Another dive by Alves

Alpha Dog 1

Has Nasri and milner have stayed on the field for as long is beyond me.

I'd say the same for Neymar.

He has been terrible tonight.

Can't help but feel sorry for another team falling victim to Barca's preferential treatment by refs. Pique wasn't fouled, simple as that.

Barcelona had a clear penalty ruled out and a wrong offside for a goal in the first half

Thats a ****ing pen. Go home ref your drunk

Barcelona have a core bunch of cheats in their eleven. They've always been cheats and they always will be. Were never my cup of tea. In anycase, they'll get beaten in one of the next couple of rounds and we'll get to laugh heartily so it's all good.

frisbeeface

Would have given a pen for that....

Vinz Mesrine

That is the most nailed on penalty I have ever seen.

GavRedKing

Stone wall penalty. Ref is some chancer.

SEPT 23 1989

unbelievable

LuckyLloyd

lol reffing, clear as day penalty and then he sends Zabaleta off for calling him on it. :rolleyes:

Utopia Parkway

This ref isn't very good to say the least.

yomtea98

WOW

Soups123

That is shocking

Alpha Dog 1

This whole tie has been embarrassing for Man City.

Headshot

Lads when will the powers that be wake up and see how these refs are destroying the sport?

bad2dabone

Ref has lost it big time. Pathetic.

klose

Worst reffing performance ive ever seen id say

Moneymaker

Where do they get these referees from?

Timmyctc

Fairly pathetic sending off Kolarov after ****ing up a pen call like that.

Mushy

Ref is so far out of his depth! Red was coming though

Rezident

I know CL refs tend to be very poor but this lad is an absolute joker! I'm so used to wrong refereeing decisions but this clown is getting everything wrong!

Alpha Dog 1

Is it a Swedish ref?

Ulysses Gaze

This Ref needs to be put down.

Not up to this standard.

I know he's retired but you need refs like Collina in these situations.

Shame UEFA have an age cap.

Mr.Crinklewood

Terrible referring.

One each on the penalties not given.

fullstop

That's an absolute shocker from the ref. Standing 5 yards away too.

Tinie

It looked like he pointed to the spot though

Terrible decision

Darkglasses

Dumb dumb dumb. Zabaleta you're old enough to no there's no point protesting like that.

Ref is crap yeah but running towards him shouting isn't how you get around it.

How?

GavRedKing

This ref has been shocking thats a penalty a piece missed and hes sent off Zabaleta too to make it worse.

A poor showing from the official.

Soups123

The consistency that Barcelona get contentious decisions in there favour in the CL is beyond suspicious

smileyj1987

My god that ref shouldn't be allowed to ref a big game ever again .

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Jesus Christ that is just awful. You'd wish UEFA weren't so crooked and useless that they'd actually do something about the woeful state of Champions league officials. It's getting beyond a joke now.

Chelsea were robbed a couple of years back by a dreadful ref and performance too.

chelsea v barca style ref memories from this one. incredible stuff

Washington Irving

I was thinking he had sent off Zabaleta and Kompany. Quality broadcasting from RTE

Disgraceful refereeing and not for the first time, balance favouring Barca. Eagerly awaiting Bayern tearing these cheats apart.

Funnily enough, also against Barca.

I'm watching on Sky and it showed Kompany's name first.

Have you ever played a competitive football game yourself?

I've played some cup matches with the local team, and have gotten riled up by wrong decisions against me by refs, so I can imagine how fuming I would be if I was in Zabaletas shoes. It shows some passion to me.
