Would you be in favour of the away goal ruling coming into play only after extra time?

I think it's really harsh but I also think it can make things a lot more exciting.

But Barca will take what they can get. We are no different, nor is any other team for that matter.

Didnt he say something like "Refs who only do small games in Norway week in week out arent up to the pace and strength of these games like officials from the likes of Italy and Spains"

That's my point For all the whining of kas and co for teams playing defensive. How comes in the nou camp last year man utd were dnied and got a pen. yet barca created fuck all. at old trafford man utd scored early again they created fuck all. and same with chelsea matches. If they weren't so one dimensional and ball hoggers who are unable to break down great teams maybe the game wouldn't be so boring. In the a way Barca = Anti football. True story.

Yeah and they're all as big as Chelesa vs Barca 2nd leg of a CL Semi Final.

Refs for these games should be refs that have been in such games before..if this guy has then fair enough. If he hasnt then tonight he's shown why.

I'm pretty sure that like all refs, he has worked his way up to a game of this magnitude. It's not as if he was taken from the Norwegian league all of a sudden and this is his first ever CL game.

Someone has his list of previous games?

He has scored for Chelsea in the Nou Camp.

He has scored v Man U in FA Cup final.

He scored a brace v Liverpool in last seasons CL semi.

He scored at Anfield in the QF this year and had a blinder in the return.

He rapes Arsenal pretty much every time he plays them especially in league Cup final, scored a goal of the season contender v liverpool a couple of years back and has had numerous excellent non scoring performances v BIG 4.

He bottled the big decisions end off.

They have a fair point.
