The Copa del Rey thread

Luis Suarez hasn't really hit the heights with Barcelona, has he?

Some players are at their best when they are considered as 'the main man' at the club.

As long as Messi is his teammate, he will never hit the same heights as he he did at Liverpool.

He had a lot more freedom during his time at Liverpool, now he's just the guy to service Messi and score the odd goal.

Neymar seems to be managing okay despite not being the main man. Seems like a bit of a cop out for Suarez if he continues to underperform.

Jeeeeze, what a game this has been so far!

Messi looks like he's slowly getting back to his best.

Red card and penalty not given. To rub it in barca scoring on the counter.

What red card?

They had an illegitimate penalty given so it's all good.

Not sure how I feel about the Alba handball - it was an accident and close to his body but at the same time the ball was on target and he could have prevented a goal with his hand.

Footballing karma, decisions leveled out.

Hand in unnatural position blocking a ball clearly headed towards the goal is a red card and penalty

You're having a laugh; way too close - completely accidental. Never a red.

I tell you what, the second half is going to go ooooooooff!

[Tarquinius]

What a game so far!

Grizzi needs to get rid of that monstrosity on his head.

[Va-Va-Voom]

LOL. Madrid feeling salty trying to start on Neymar.

f***ing skunk.

Yeah I don't think it was a red. Distance is close but I think it's a penalty.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Yeah I don't think it was a red. Distance is close but I think it's a penalty.

Well as I said they had a non-penalty given so it evened out.

No cos barca should be a man down and plus the goal resulted from the counter. Ref made two mistakes but the second one was a far bigger one..

Okay but i'm convinced he'll do a lot better the day Messi leaves.

I don't think there is such thing in sports. Decisions might be wrong, refs make mistakes, that happens to everyone but two mistakes don't make it right or fair. I'm pretty sure Atletico would have preffered to take this penalty since it ended up Barcelona taking the lead and now they need to score 3 goals.
