A Milan legend said something like stop the reff in the Juve-Madrid game

A lot of Madrid fans don't think it was a red. But nah, the idiotic reff was right. Ronaldo's lucky to be alive.

You'll get your revenge in Turin so calma ffs.

No this isn't just about a one off game for me

Every time I see a high priority game get ruined by Simulation and idiotic refferees it hurts me deep, deep inside

Seriously though, it's a joke. Too many frequent f*ck ups by officials and nothing is getting done about it.


UEFA want to keep that 'football feel' which means controversial calls

Bunch of old *bleep* idiots.

Interestingly enough, although it was a penalty there's two things that's also a joke

Buffon had the ball.

Ramos appeared to be in an offside position when the free kick was delivered








Shocking, shocking officiating all around.

For me it wasn't a red either. It was just way too soft to be marked illegal play. Not the first time I've seen refs make mistakes and certainly won't be the last.

That is probably the most ironic statement I have ever read, football forum or not, when you have Sergio Ramos and Pepe as your starting CB's The 2 most thug defenders the world has seen in the past decade.

And the fact you wish a career ending injury on Chiello is a joke. He's far far far away from being a thug. If there were more people in football like chiellini and less like that primadonna Ronaldo the footballing world would be better off.

Rough or not, Giorgio puts in a committed shift game after game, pulls a few shirts, drags a few players down but always smiles and shakes hands after the game but barely goes out to intentionally hurt.

Worst reffing iv seen all season. When Giovinco got clearly fouled outside the box and the ref didnt give it and it cut to Conte roaring in anger and frustration to how shocking that Bundesliga ref was i found myself doing the exact same.

Cassius wrote:this Chiellini is a thug thing is getting way out of hand lol.

He's probably got the best gamesmanship out of 99% of defenders out there. Yeah hes dirty, he'll try many tricks to stop you but once your down he'll help you back up and shake your hand and doesnt pussy out or start acting out when he receives the same treatment.. Unlike 99% of the rest who will beat you, chop you down, intentionally go out to hurt you and act as if nothing has been done. Why people cant distinguish between a thug and gamesmanship is baffling. Mexes is more of a thug than chiellini ever is but no one goes round saying hes got a rep and is a thug, same with De jong ect.

They Just dont make em like Giorgio anymore

I don't even...

Care to point out the problem?

Brb, Imagining a man kicking a ball. Anyway, I agree, thought the penalty was softer than the red at the time, if only because I thought that Chiellini was already on a yellow.

The Ref wasn't going to give it, and under most circumstances I don't think he would.

Ramos just asked the ref behind the goal and for the first time ever, that ref actually had something to say. Unlucky for Juve.

I still think we shouldn't be crying about decisions that go against us in a group stage away game, where it's more poor luck than downright absurdity. This almost trivializes real controversies that are actual catalysts for change.

That doesn't show Ramos in an offside position lol

And if Buffon was already going to claim it anyway then Cheillini is an even bigger bone head than we're giving him credit for.

i think both sides are making a meal of it so here is my 2cents:

it was not a red card but it was a foul, why Chiellini didn't just slide tackle the ball to throw or something is beyond me:

why did he not:

he was the last man

Ronaldo would have beat him to it

likely Ronaldo would have caused trouble as myopic Buffon has lost it these days sadly....

its about time we came hard on Chiello, def a fine defender but his dirty gaming style needs to be said...

he cost us 3pts when we were clearly the better team yesterday......

after he was red carded, we lost our intensity for like 15 mins.....

similarly the ref was at fault too and his linesman similarly, it was yellow card at most but cannot really put all the blame on the refs to be honest, they need 1 second to make a decision for good or bad...

Ronaldo will always make a meal out of anything but so will most similar strikers/attacking midfielders in the same situation....

Swagg hates Ronaldo (and probably isn't that big a Madrid fan anyway) his opinion is worthless here.

What does me hating Cristiano have to do with anything? How is that a red card? There was no follow through what so ever with the elbow ffs

And why am I not that big of a Madrid fan now?

Is this normal reffing in Germany and Spain?

Tuddor you *bleep* legend!

that was EXACTLY what im talking about. No one says hes an angel but to say hes a thug is truely ridiculous. ChielloGOD

Oh so because of one handshake, Chiellini deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

Brb shooting a guy but will shake his hand later so I do not get arrested

yes because thats comparable..

Man up and admit chiellogod as your saviour

Shake his hand only after he shoots you back.

this is football ffs. Everything apart from sleeping with your teammates GF or calling someone Negrito is settled with a handshake

So it's okay to rock bottom someone as long as you shake hands afterwards?

Someone call Joey Barton.

Chiellini is a player always on the edge, but in Serie A we are used to seing people being punched in the face in every game, so for us this is completely unheard of.

Must we go back to the drawing board with the refs in Serie A from now on? Ruin our league more with this girly reffing? FFS

Not that I see this Chiellini debate as relevant, but Cavani actually elbowed Chiellini before Chiellini followed him around and pulled his hair.

Was a GOAT battle though, need more of that and less playacting.

your missing the point lol

Did chiellini ever shoot somebody or rockbottom anybody?

Stub cigars in teammates eyes like barton? Punch people in the head for no reason?

No, he hasnt. There have always been thuggish players that rightly deserve the name, like Pepe. The Getafe inicident was shocking. You Milan fans keep posting the same few video's, (that are probably made by milan fans too ) the only video you posted that was slightly thuggish was the 3rd one. no excuses for that apart from the other player grabbing giorgio's shirt.

Maybe i keep missing it but whats wrong with the Pastore one?

I agree.

Only thing with rough housing is that if one approves of if then play acting must be allowed then. You can't have one without the other. To me cheating is cheating all the same.

Talking about Milan fans lol, only Juve fans will say that Chiellini not a thug. Nothing wrong with what he does at all He has got that gamesmanship.

Finally, thanks for admitting it. Knew you'd get there
