Just watch the clip more carefully, Messi get kicked in the achillestendon so hard that the other player falls down. Nothing happens to Messi? If you watch it you can see Messis right leg makes a swinging movement because of it, and it breaks down his rhythm. That is a clear foul, and penalty should have been given. Red from a such wreckles kick would not have been bad call either.

Now you have.

Sorry Jiopsi, I have a big screen, I've used google chrome's zoom function and I have perfect 20/20 vision. I will confirm that you have a case for the 1st and 2nd penalty claims but not the 3rd. There is no real force, there is no tramp, the guy flicks out his leg and then falls because he gets tripped up and tangled a bit with Messi. Think about what you and Lionel Messi have just said: he kicks Messi so hard that he(the defender) falls over. Messiah, is like what? 4ft11 and weighs 55kgs tops? I can see how with full force you can "kick" a brick wall and fall over, but not Messi I'm afraid. The defender goes down because he gets hooked up in the attempted challenge.

I imagine we will not be able to settle this dispute, because you have obviously seen something different to me, so its basically a difference of opinion. The gifs, even though they exclude penalty claims not given for Madrid and ones given to Barca, were still a nice find and therefore I must conclude:

So you didn't see with your 20/20 vision the swinging movement of Messi right leg? Watch just the right leg, you can see that it effects Messi's balance and completely breaks down his rhythm.

THERE IS A REFEREEING CONSPIRACY IN LA LIGA, IT HAS NOW BEEN CONFIRMED THAT FRANCO IS BEHIND IT, HE HAS BEEN CONTACTING THE SPANISH REF ASSOCIATION FROM THE GRAVE

Well there is clear pattern here, maybe it will eventually evolve in factual conspiracy.

I thought you were only kidding about the match-fixing insinuation? You're actually serious? Wow, ok clearly there has been a misunderstanding here, I see no more profit in contributing to this thread.

Can you still answer, before you bail out, did you see the swinging movement of the right leg?

I do not understand the point you are trying to make about this "swinging leg" I'm not sure you're sure about which part of the coming together warrants the penalty decision, first you said it was blatant kick at the achilles, and now I have to spot a "swinging leg". There is contact, there is not enough of it to go down, Messi still plants his right leg, then plants his left leg then does a silly little jump to the ground in what actually looks like a half-attempt to win the ball back from the covering defender that comes across... then he swings around to give the ref some puppy eyes. That is the whole incident here.

My mentality is perfect, that's why I don't answer trolls, only legitimate posts about the subject. Excluding your post of course.
