I'd love to hear conspiracy theories of some ignorant Real Madrid supporters now. Sending Thiago off for a non existent handball and booking Puyol for one in which his arms were at his side and he couldn't do anything to move out of the way
Wow! This is really bizarre. What I see right now is (bad) Barce fans try to provoke Real Madrid fans to talk trash about Spanish referee. I'm confused! Is that Barce's conspiracy theories or Madrid's conspiracy theories?
He's responding more than provoking. Whenever mistakes are made against Madrid, some Madrid fans like to claim conspiracy theories (just like some Barcelona fans used to claim conspiracies when Madrid were winning the majority of the titles)
Sometimes these back and forth rift btw barca and madrid fans becomes boring. We all claim to love the beautiful game. Why the trash talking? Lets just support our respective clubs
I agree that we should respect our own clubs but whenever I go to see the Madrid highlights, there are some who always hate on Barcelona saying they dive, cheat, helped by unicef and UEFA etc. This always gets up my nerves
I can't help discussing ref calls either, but I agree the conspiracy crap is annoying, stupid and childish as hell. The Spanish media have a way of adding fuel to the fire though. Sid Lowe wrote a good article published in the Guardian lately. It's "oh, Barça/Real never lost/lost one too many with that ref" before the game, and after the game it's "oh, this is the second time in a row that ref booked a Barça/Real player for this and that/failed to book a player/f#cking sneezed on the pitch" and then it's the same thing all over. I read the Spanish media from time to time, and there's ridiculous stuff going on in both camps, from Mundo Deportivo to Marca. Nobody cares if the ref had his reasons when they have nice phony statistics to churn out

Barca (=Uefalona) paid the ref to send Thiago off for an unintentional handball just like Alves against Granada and they also paid the Spanish FA to cancel Sergio Ramos's red card. Right, madridistas?
Alubaidi9010, he is not saying Madrid cheated. He is simply ridiculing people (Madridistas) who whine when Barca gets a call that goes their way and claim they have bought the ref. Please read his comment again.
Wait a sec, what did I miss? Ramos' red was overturned? The one against Villareal? If so wtf, it was a regular second yellow for a stupid foul

@Ilikeairports, yeah but then the Spanish FA realized that Pepe was suspended and Carvalho injured, so that Madrid would have run out of center backs and would have had to use Albiol(!). If Kaka had been unable to play they would have probably overturned Özil's suspension
Apparently barca fans have come out of hibernation

Average game, Messi does it again!

Yes you are right, an average game. But even from this game chel$ki could learn something. How to pass, to create chances, teamplay, to run and how to score.... Hahaha
Messi is becoming an awesome freekick taker. Although that probably wasn't exactly intended to go in with his brilliance he placed it in a situation that if its touched it will go in and if its not touch there is still a huge possiblity of going in. Pure genius
Well, this is how you play with a man down.... 64% possession still.... That red card? Thiago didn't even commit a foul and neither did Puyol but both got a yellow for nothing.... Spanish referees smh
What are you Ronaldo723 whining about? And what is it with madridistas saying that Barca always gent opponents sent off?
This season Barca's opponents have been given 7 red cards - with 5 of them coming in the injury time when some players become frustrated and try to chop our players' legs off. -zero reds given in the first half -So that makes only TWO sending offs that had any impact. -the time of every sending off: 54' 71' 90' 91' 92' 94' 98'
Madrid's opponents have been given 9 red cards this season -all of them before injury time -three reds in the first half -the time of every sending off: 21' 39' 43' 54' 66' 74' 80' 82' 85'
So I'm pretty sure that Real has had much more advantage from opponen't been sent off
- I gave Mallorca a Great vote and Barça and Awesome vote. This was a better match by Barcelona than highlights would suggest cause it was about exactly the things we lacked when we let Madrid take off and escape this winter: Solid defending, tenacity, hard work, taking our chances when we don't have one every two minutes.
- Even the Madrid media said Thiago's sending off was unfair. And what happened? Pep talked to Tito about how to resolve the situation, the team pulled together and did their best to stay on top, eventually getting the second goal. Nobody went nuts. Nobody harangued the fourth official. No "solo robar" and no "hijo de puta". This is why, with all the great football I acknowledge both teams play, and in spite of the occasional stupid action by a Barça player, I think there is a difference in attitude about which I'm happy it's this way round.
- Credit to Mallorca. If they had met the Espanyol or Villareal version of us, they would have certainly drawed, if they had met the Osasuna version they'd have won. They closed down pretty well in defence, used their own right wingers productively, had a good physical presence and were highly concentrated. Barça got less posession and fewer opportunities than usual yesterday and it's merely bad luck from Mallorca's perspective that there was no wastefulness and no slipping up this time
Because being 10 men down with a half left to play at an away game on an absolute s**t field (that wasn't taken care of purposely so that we can't keep the ball on the ground) while being 1 goal up is a won game -___-
In the words of the great Ray Hudson you need to roll one up and smoke it.... Or maybe you already have
