Did you not see the other poster who's since stated he read it too and you're also wrong.

This isn't a conspiracy mate, your mind is actually playing tricks.

So he read your post at the exact same time I did two seconds before you edited it?
And my mind is playing tricks?
Ok so lets agree on all that. So thats an end to it. And we can all move on.

Well....we could all be lying to you or....logic could get the better of you and you could perhaps reason that if TWO people now say I'm wrong and he's happy for a mod to 're post it...well shucks I may just have gotten this one wrong.

I'll leave it to you to deduce


Edit*** see above:)

Ps. Don't do jury duty

Good night

I'm not though, I wish I'd taken a screenshot but I wasnt to know it would turn into this nonsense.
What he typed initially was an entirely different sentence. Then maybe he typed the new sentence and spelled boss wrong and changed it to bias which is what you saw

But hand on heart the original sentence was different. I actually think hes forgotten, dont think hes intentionally being a tool about it.
And to be honest I wish I'd never said anything because it's all pointless and I've been accused of being on crack over it

I'll send him a PM and keep it off here coz no doubt he'll respond again now and this could become the new cold war

You've lost it bro.

Also st0p saying " no doubt he'll respond" when on 3 separate occasions you said you were off.

For what going to ground when contact is made. Caudrado was an idiot. He stamped on him, what do you expect. Ramos to go shake his hand.over reaction or not the end result was the right one.

So kroos stepped on his toe but the Juve lad stamped. Do you think kroos should have been sent off.

Kroos got a yellow, cuadrado got a yellow.

Yes he was stupid he deserved it. My point was one was stepping on his toe and the other was a stamp. I just thought it was pathetic with a few minutes to go and the game over and he was rolling around like that.

Agreed over simulation is disgusting but it's the norm these days and in a high stakes game where every inch counts players will do it. What's more idiotic is players who put themselves in a position where it could effect them.

Being dirty in a tackle and going in hard, fair enough you might get away with it.

Doing it off play, UNDER the officials nose. Bonkers. I'd say Ramos thought he won the lottery.

One is a legitimate tackle milliseconds late in game.

The other is about 5-6 seconds after an aggressive tackle has left him on his backside. It's off the ball and he actions towards the player in an aggressive revenge like manner.

What are you missing here?

Edit, never mind, bed time.

Good night all have fun

Im sure if it got the player sent off he would have been abused. The fact it was Ramos and the game was over probably made it worse

Cuadrado was on a yellow, he was beaten to the ball fairly, he stood on a players foot cos he took the huff, he got a 2nd yellow.

I have zero sympathy for him, irrespective of ramos ' reaction

Last post honestly I promise. He didn't get the player sent off the player got himself sent off with his actions. Ramos didn't go over and say "hey mate, try and stamp on me"

You have to assume the referee officiating one if the highest sporting events in world sport has been trained on over simulation.

It's also not Ramos fault that Cuadrado clearly and on with a chip on his shoulder and had already received a booking prior to the incident.

Anyway good night, honestly it's like teaching ABCs in here sometimes.

Really enjoyed that. Very entertaining! Had a bit of everything

Ramos over reacted.

Watch a replay of the game again some time, you'll see maybe 18 or 19 other players over reacting.

It's been like that in football for 20 years+, have any of you been watching football on TV in recent years?

That Barcelona team would completely dismantle this Real team .
The midfield of Xaxi,Iniesta,and Busquets would overrun Kroos and Modric .
They are good players but they would have been out of their depth.

Its only a couple of months ago that a jaded Barcelona beat Real in the Bernabeu , completely outclassing the Real midfield.

Dunphy called them out with similar criticism in the semis to be fair. I am not saying he doesn't hyperbole but he has said some of the stuff before, and a good bit of the faults he highlighted then were exposed tonight

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I had to turn off RTE when Dunphy started talking about how Real deserved the win, but they weren't a great team deserving of the first back-to-back CL victories. Why does he always feel the need to spout such BS?

Is he retiring after this season? I haven't watched a single match in rte that I can find elsewhere in years to avoid the pathetic clickbaity sh*te that rtes coverage is with him on.

Enjoyable game, best team won, real a big game team with a ruthless big game mentality who got the job done and ran juventus into the ground in the second half.
Ramos indulging in asshattery should not detract from him once again having a big game in a big final.
I asked the question when the Semi-finals were on, are Juventus the biggest underachieving club in Europe? Only 2 European cups in their history, which given their dominance in Italy in recent years and historically is piss poor. (one could argue they probably would not have won in 85 either but for the curcumstances surrounding the game in Heysel, which make the game/result very unimportant).
Apart from the aging Alves, they had no real pace in attack, and higuin fluffed his lines big time when he had a good chance late on.
Italian soccer is of a poor standard at present, and it is probably effecting them in Europe

irishguitarlad

Madrid deserved it but after what Ramos did, it really hit home about what football is about nowadays, sickening ****.

I dont know would they dismantle them, taking that Real have always been capable of beating Barcelona.

Was hoping Juve would win and finally see the legend Buffon get his due CL medal, but the butt hurt CR is having in some is a consolation

Can someone point me in the direction of the ''Butthurt''Ronaldo posts?

Modric is by far the best midfielder in the world, brilliant again last night.

Second half performance from Real was something else.

I was a once a Ronaldo skeptic.

I've come to the conclusion that the reason for my scepticism a few years ago was almost purely based on Lionel Messi. And I'm not ashamed to say that.

I just preferred Messi, therefore in my head, Ronaldo could never really reach that level. I'd made my decision. I was a Messi man.

But honestly, the numbers he is producing, and in the biggest of games, at the most important of times, are astonishing. He hasn't tried to flog a dead horse in terms of his body. He's had the intelligence to recognise that he was becoming limited in what he could offer his teams as a marauding, goalscoring wide forward. So that lad decided to make himself the best number 9 in the world.

And he is. Without question.

He is astonishing, and an inspiration to anyone who wants to make themselves the very best they can be. A phenomenon.

I don't even bother with the Messi comparisons anymore. It's stupid, and sucks the joy out of watching 2 of the greatest footballers we'll ever see do things, and hit numbers, we may never see again.

Ronaldo has proven me very wrong in having any reservations about him ever.

Another Ballon D'Or is on its way.

It's amazing that Messi had a 4-1 lead in Ballon D'Ors at one stage, and now it's looking like they'll be tied on 5-5.

Still always remarkable to think as well that between them, they'll have won 10 in a row.

Cuadrado stood on him and he was overly theatrical in dealing with the injury. Ref got decision right though, lunacy by cuadrado.

Reach what level, they've always been pretty even in terms of goals. In terms of ability he's not close to Messi's level, Messi can do things on the pitch that Ronaldo can only dream of, let's be honest.

Ronaldo is a phenom though, there is no denying.
