Random footie

The foul was actually on Messi that I referred to .... 2mins and 10 seconds in.... clearly went to injure him there.

Incredibly there are 5 sending off offences in the Lyon clips alone he got off with..... and if you look at the Getafe incident you will see that aftr kicking the man when he was down he pulls his hair and shows his face in to the turf, gets up and stands on him twice more, then lays a punch at two Getafe players.

I literally cant believe he hasnt had more red cards, and maybe if he didnt play for Real Madrid he would have more.

He is a disgraceful thug.....

The FA allowing 3G artificial pitches to be used in FA Cup games

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26717348

Think it's rather unfair to be honest as not all clubs have access to such a facility. Also I don't see much point in 3G pitches to be implemented in first team competitions because the standard of football surfaces are constantly improving year on year.

That was some goal by Gareth Bale.

Have just been told former Swansea striker Guilliaume Bauza will line up for Swansea university against a friend of mine in the Welsh varsity today.

That was some goal by Gareth Bale.

Would Alan Partridge approve of said goal?

1 member of staff has been sacked and another discliplined at Cardiff following an apparent leak of the side to play Palace.

Another cracker from Gareth Bale.

Great pace. Nice to see a British player do well abroad.

It was a good goal considering he wasn't having a great game at the time and Barcelona were getting the upper hand. Nearly gave the defender a chance when he miss controlled the ball slightly in the box and perhaps the keeper could have done better. I think the significance of the goal has lifted it a level or two.

Having watched alot of him this season I think he is still a way from his best and his relationship with Benzema and Ronaldo on the pitch isn't quite there yet. I have a feeling Benzema hasn't accepted him into the fold as much as Ronaldo, at least it looks that way when you watch them interact on the pitch after goals, missed chances etc...

Dylan Tombides: West Ham striker, 20, dies of cancer

West Ham have confirmed that striker Dylan Tombides has died aged 20.

The club announced Tombides, who made one senior appearance after signing as a 15-year-old, had died "following his brave battle with cancer".

They said the Australia-born player, diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2011, "will be hugely missed by all who had the honour of knowing him".

There will be a minute's applause in his memory at West Ham's home game against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Great pace. Nice to see a British player do well abroad.

Pace is unbeliveable ,I agree one of the great goals of all time considering how he was blatantly fouled to the point where he was even followed across the line. I think had he gone for a hot dog (oops meat pie) the Barca defender would have tried to stop him putting sauce on it. I watched this game live and that was truly one of the greats.

Brit fans can love to look a gift horse in the mouth. They refuse to acknowledge true greatness because they spend so much time being paranoid about failure.

Who cares where he's from, just pretend he's Brazilian and enjoy it I say.

I'm curious what is the grey stuff made out of. The Barca defender may have actually helped Bale by pushing him onto that material. It actually looks way grippier than grass.

PSG scored a LATE winner, to sneak past Evian 1-0, despite playing against 10 men for 30 mins, PSG created nothing and deserved nothing.

But they are now 1 win away from sealing the title and making it back to back title wins for the first time in their history.

I see Januzaj has opted to play for Belgium.
