The Official 05/06 La Liga Española Thread

[Raikkonen]

I'll never, ever understand why Barcelona choose Maxi Lopez instead of Cavenaghi or even La Gata Fernandez

if anyone has any doubts about how **** are the spanish refs, just watch the second half of Betis - Villareal .

The ref:
- called a penalty from a dive of Jose Mari
- showed a red card to Joaquin
- Doblas saved the penalty but the ref said there were some Betis players in the box when Riquelme shot (the TV showed he was wrong). Riquelme re-took the penalty and scored. At least he had the decency of not celebrate it.
- showed a red card to Melli
- disallowed a legal goal from Betis
- gave 6 min of stoppage time, and then, he stopped the match for like 4 min because the linesman was hit with a coin or something.

i should be happy because Betis is our next rival, but the refs are getting worst every game.

Betis 2-3 Villareal
Osasuna 3-2 Athletic
Mallorca 1-0 Betis

hah, Barca got a nice penalty gift in the 80th-something minute. dont you just love it :.

 

[Parker]

Soon everytime Barca player will get to penalty area referee will award penalty.

[Dream Team]

Second win and second clean sheet in a row.

HT Depor 2 Madrid 0

Why wasn't Messi in from the start?

 

[-William-]

Come on we all want a third goal!

 

[ricardo]

 

[Drvar]

atleast we scored at Riazor after 4 years...wow .

 

[Fernandez]

Its Depor 3-1 Real.

 

[Raikkonen]

forget the second half of Betis-Villareal... watch Ronaldinho's dive and you'll see why the spanish refs are the worst scum on earth.

FT Depor 3-1 Madrid

i'm not sad because i saw it coming and Beckham is injured now one more to add to our list.

 

[Dream Team]

3-1, brilliant stuff. The last 5 days have been perfect.

yes because god knows madrid players never dive.. :boohoo:

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

Im sad that Maxi is still out of the bench...

His future in Barça is very dark...

Not a big loss for Barcelona.
Anyway i heard that he will be going to Racing de Santander when the transfer window is reopen.

 

[Raikkonen]

yes because god knows madrid players never dive.. :boohoo:

but we don't get penalties for that

:fool:

nah... when was the last time that a Madrid player took a dive in the box and got a penalty for that?

i hate Ronaldinho he's good even at diving it isn't the first time he gets a penalty doing that

 

[Axolote]

Valencia 0-1 Sevilla

believe it or not... Luis Fabiano scored!!! it was a very nice goal, but besides that, the match has been pretty boring.

edit: 0-2... Ayala (og) :fool:

 

[Sevillista]

Faaaaaaaaabiano!!

How fitting is it that Fabiano has put Sevilla even with Madrid in points. To be fair though, it sounds like Palop has had some incredible saves.

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Great second half for Valencia, shame they couldn't at least nick one. Kluivert looked real decent (for his debut?).

 

[Raikkonen]

Kluivert made his debut in one of the first matches. he was injured for a month or so, that's why he hasn't play in the last matches .

Daniel Alves was fantastic . great run and an even better assistance for Ayala's goal .
