But it's also a fact, that if that was a Madrid player, it would have been a red, a penalty and Penaldo would have been hailed as glorious goal scorer for dragging Madrid against Bilbao.

Jibers is secretly working with Jiopsi, setting him up with easy opportunities to abuse us with excel tables, numbers and graphs.

In a way it could be argued Neymar was as much blocking the defender from getting to the ball as the other way round..

I won't argue it couldn't be a red, but I think the way Neymar goes down right as soon as there's a little contact actually hurts his chances of getting his opponent penalized.

You have a point but the ref actually did call for a foul in favour of Barca. Only a yellow was shown though, not the red Busquets was crying for.

Yes I know, and since a foul was given in that position, as I said, it probably should be a red.

But again, Neymar's lightweight act doesn't help. I don't know, but I could imagine it influences referees' perception.
Because then you'd actually have to pull out a red card for a foul you have to give but still feels pretty soft.

Busquets needs to learn the rules.

You need to learn the rules to be honest. Last man is a straight red, but denying a clear chance with a foul is also a red, last man or not.

anyway, I agree that Busquets is crying and he shouldn't cry, because we lost deservedly, red card or not.

As i mentioned in subsequent posts that you obviously didn't read, that depends on the interpretation of each FA regarding the FIFA general rules. It's very clear in France and, since he's not the last man and there's clear intent on the ball, that's a yellow here. The first Cavani pk last night is a perfect example of it. The keeper got a yellow because there was a defender on his line and he had made a play on the ball... much clearer than Neymar's play tbh. Don't know how it's called in Spain.

Ah yes the Barca way of saying that we don't talk about referees but then still talk about referees

Newsflash, complaining about referees is a fundamental part of the Barcelona DNA, that's why you have biscuits spewing hypocrisy every time he opens his mouth or 50 separate scandal in la liga threads on GL. The Barca way is to say one thing and then do the opposite.

Real Madrid fans/players/coaches have complained about refs a lot over the years, difference is they don't say "We don't complain about referees" just before complaining lol

Alves: Complaining about the refs is for losers...
