rhyscartwright_avfc Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ahh well remember the mighty Villa beating them in 81,wow look at the remarkable difference now between the two clubs :-( '82. Get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Should be a good final. David Alaba looks a real good player for Bayern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have to follow the team that put the tossers for the Final. Chelsea did the World a favour, so they deserve the success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikantcpell Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Evry time i have watched Bayern Munich play this season they have impressed me.. Since i saw them play vs man city ive said they will win it all...and tonight aswell..they go 2-0 down early in the game and they just keep playing full of confidence like nothing has happened..so strong mentally I think they will rape chelsea in the final..4-0.

Rino8 Posted April 25, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2012 I haven't really seen Kaka in a game since his first season at Madrid where he looked poor anyway, but he looks like a different player, frail and sluggish. Sort of sad to see. Bayern have got this, I suppose the only thing Chelsea have is that Terry being missing doesn't really matter, Gomes is the white Heskey against decent opposition.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Bayern play better football than Barca. Should be a good final, neither team will fear the other IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think the card situation is ridiculous though.. Bayern reserves vs Chelsea reserves in the final at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Especially when the Ivanovic and Meireles suspension are ultimately the result of dives. But for some reason you can not review and take away a yellow card - what an odd rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Im sure in international tournaments after the quarters they don't count yellows to prevent a second booking in the semi final meaning you miss the final. They should do something similar in between the 1st and second legs. No-one wants to watch Bosingwa and Kalou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Alaba yellow card was actually a disgraceful decision but credit to the guy got on with game and was quite good some people would have sulked like Badstuber did in Extra time. No sympathy for Badstuber missing final was a bad tackle on Benzema as for Gustavo he made about 10 fouls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I think it's stupid, no one should have to miss a final unless they have been sent off or something stupid like 5 yellows since last 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 26, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah I agree. As I've said previously, it was different back when you basically had to commit GBH to get booked. But these days, when you get a yellow card for breathing too heavily on someone, it's incredibly harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yeah I agree. As I've said previously, it was different back when you basically had to commit GBH to get booked. But these days, when you get a yellow card for breathing too heavily on someone, it's incredibly harsh. I think the rule shall be as it is, as it prevents player from taking a yellow for the team to an extent and do something he shouldn't. BUT, I think they should change the rules so they could remove the yellow cards if they're wrongly given, like when the other player dives to get you one.

BOF Posted April 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2012 I completely disagree regarding a yellow card amnesty. Your squad gets to the final in the state that it gets to the final. What I mean by that is, if that means you had to foul your way there then you lose who you lose along the way. Yellow cards are for incidents that could very well impact on results at the time. Professional fouls can be yellow cards. Where you block a breakaway at midfield. At the time, you deem it a card worth getting, because it protects your team and helps you to maybe win or draw. If your team ends up in the final it is partly, maybe a small part, but it is partly BECAUSE of the yellow cards you accrued along the way in an attempt to safeguard whatever result you had at the time. So for me it is a horrible idea to then decide all the cheating and fouling you did along the way can be forgotten as if there are no consequences to what you did to get there. It is basically saying that cheaters and dirty players will profit from their actions. And to me that sends out completely the wrong message about football.

packoman Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 While I mostly agree with that, it's a bit unfair on players who get wrongly booked. Missing out on the final because someone has dived and gotten you booked is harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 26, 2012 But we know how futile it is to then start sifting through the yellows to assess which is fair/unfair or more deserving etc. You simply can't do that. A yellow is a yellow. As much as we'd like there to be different shades of yellow, there aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
