I for one am shocked that real Madrid got a load of decisions in their favour just when they needed them ,sure girona will be raging too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_dog Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The goal for Almeria to make it 3-1 being chopped off because of an accidental flailing hand catching Bellingham on his ear when challenging for the ball early in the move was very dodgy, and the ref tries to make it look more like a foul by booking the guy for it. But Vinicius Jr's goal being allowed to stand for the equaliser when he lead with his arm to get in front of the defender and even though he twists his body just as it hits him, it so clearly goes in off his upper arm and not his shoulder. And it's Barcelona who are being done for bribing refs, do Real Madrid just own them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I thought madrid should not have got a pen because the player was pushed, Almeria goal for 3-1 should never have been disallowed, blatant dive by bellingham. However, I didn't think Vinicius' goal should be disallowed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid TV put in a consistent effort to intimidate refs and spin a narrative that it's them who are always hard done by. It ends up dominating discussion before matches and putting pressure on referees. Common enough tactic I guess but utterly blatant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 My opinion of Jude Bellingham has massively improved after this. https://metro.co.uk/2024/02/02/jude-bellingham-reported-la-liga-mason-greenwood-slur-20211881/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflammatory from the Diet Daily Mail? Bellingham appears to be a top guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not checked myself but apparently you can watch it on Bet365. Probably have to place a bet on it first though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, ended up watching it on their site. 1 - 0 Mallorca at half-time. If Athletic don't win, it will be 7 copa losses in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia Gentile Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Congratulations to Athletic Club on their first major trophy in 40 years. (Theyve had a couple of super cups in the last few years). Also sloght relief, I assume, that they missed the not so magnificent 7. Edited April 7 by Claudia Gentile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted Sunday at 20:44 Share Posted Sunday at 20:44 Vázquez' celebration of slapping his arm like he was trying to find a vein was hilarious and unexpected. Are there rumours he's on the gear? I hope that's added to FIFA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted Sunday at 21:01 Share Posted Sunday at 21:01 Bellingham certainly knows when to pop up with a big goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freedom Farter Posted Sunday at 21:39 Share Posted Sunday at 21:39 Bellingham is possibly the second best player on the go right now, behind only his future teammate Mbappe. Trying to get the best out them both in the same team will be a challenge for Ancelotti. He's the ideal coach for it, though, as its what he's best known for. With his early 2000s Milan team he used that unfashionable narrow 4-4-2 diamond so he could fit two playmakers in the team, Pirlo at the base of the diamond and Rui Costa (later Kaka) at the tip. This season with Real Madrid he's again used a midfield diamond where Bellingham plays at the tip. However, the two forwards play more like wingers, leaving the centre forward space open for Bellingham to arrive into. On paper, that system actually seems perfect for Mbappe to walk into as one of the two wide forwards (probably taking Rodrygo's place). Mbappe has complained at PSG any time he's been forced to play as a centre forward, insisting instead that he's a winger or wide forward. An attack of Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe next season and beyond, amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted Monday at 22:25 Share Posted Monday at 22:25 (edited) The celebration after Bellinghams goal was great. You have to admire Madrid for being able to go to Barca and beat them at their place after that midweek game against Man City. Great team.
