Champions League is not about the quality of the squad, its about the refereeing. The standard of refereeing in the CL is worse than any other league in the world, and clearly is influenced by external factors. The competition is weaker for it.

a good team can still beat a worse when the referee is bad imo.

JinxStinx 15 Sep 2011, 13:53
Has the refereeing really become that bad? Or has the media attention simply shifted onto it?

Not possible anymore, in matches involving Barcelona in the past 5 years referees have dictated results. Against Chelsea many times, Against Arsenal, Against Real Madrid, its just been ridiculous.

Heres a selection of 'classic' refereeing decisions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp0C6nih6cg (RVP red card)

Its just gotten stupid now, yes they play beautiful football and they beat Man Utd with pure class in the final last year, but their victories are hollow.

well.. I would do exactly the same thing :P
You should know, if you play football like they do.. you WILL get attacked more often on purpose, there will be more faults behind the ref's back on the team that plays this kind of football. So they just go down with the most idiotic things. - I would do exactly the same :$

tbh the chelsea barcelona match was unexplainable, i've never seen that kind of reffing at that kind of level before.. was a shit day to be a chelsea fan because we were robbed blind and deserved to be in the final over barcelona, despite us playing so defensively, we didn't really have a choice because it's the only way to beat barcelona .. the pique handball was the biggest bullshit ever :D

Always easy to blame the ref when you can't score goals :)

Was a lot harder for Arsenal to score goals without Robin Van Persie? :P

Seems it's even harder to score when you have Torres at front :D

if alves didnt pull his leg back his knee wouldve been broken en pepe wouldve gotten a 10-game ban.

you should be grateful
Parent

loazis 15 Sep 2011, 22:21
But he did pull back.

So why the fuck would he act like his leg was broken.
Parent
▼
Thomasz 15 Sep 2011, 22:59
to let pepe have his red card, like he deserved with that tackle.
Acting like nothing has happened makes refs think it wasnt all that bad

infi_ 15 Sep 2011, 14:23
that's hardly the case in my opinion, you're just used to the 'roughness' of the EPL(as you're a chelsea fan). different leagues have different standards, you'll never see anyone dive(and roll around on the ground) like Spain Pedro in the EPL.

Skydeh 15 Sep 2011, 16:24
I totally agree with you, but if you watched the Man City game last night, the ref in that match was superb. Let play continue, no play acting was called a foul and for once, I think the ref needed some plaudits.

I'd have a hard time picking a winner in that match, could go either way for me..

Currently I think Bayern would will actually.

▼
infi_ 15 Sep 2011, 14:01
well as in a match i agree with you, but referring to the topic "top 5 champions league clubs", city qualified for CL for the 1st time this year, meanwhile bayern has won this event 4 times. that's what makes me curious
Parent

JinxStinx 15 Sep 2011, 14:04
Well, city are regenerated. Bayern Munich have been a well established club for as long as I can remember. Much like that French team that has seen money pouring out of ever hole, they will be up there one day also.

When I suggested the topic, perhaps I wasn't clear! See it has a seeding topic? If you have to rate which teams would finish where.

Barca ManU and Real.

Barca - just best team in the world much better than any other team
Real and ManU- the only teams that can win CL if Barca will have a bad day in final.

a shit valencia, oh my god you are funny :DD valencia would destroy every single team in both belgium and holland. Genk played (defended) well against a superior team, getting a point that noone would have expected them to get.

Fans from teams like stvv,standard (rivals), anderlecht and bruges fans with more knowledge of football than you have said that genk had a great performance against an european TOP team. You not seeing that is a point on its own

iirc one of the only good matches Stijnen ever played and alot of luck. Obviously it's a nice victory (I also remember club brugge winning vs AC Milan, and the next week getting their asses kicked by Heusden-Zolder :))

If Simaeys' ball wasn't stopped by an amazing reflex by the spanish keeper we would have had a lucky win aswell.. but saying that valencia isn't a top team anymore,despite the departure of some top players is ridiculous, and saying that brugge could do that again (without the same luck) is aswell :)
