Just on the sending off; van Persie seen the linesmans flag, he was looking straight at him. So regardless of the whistle being heard (which I don't believe for a second after it didn't happen the rest of the game with any other player) he knew he was offside. And given that, he's an absolute plum for giving the ref the opportunity to enforce the rules he's supposed to be enforcing and getting marked on by the UEFA supervisor. He'd seen Sagna (?) getting booked earlier for throwing the ball away, and Arsenal had been timewasting a bit as well. That's beyond idiocy, and the fact that it's all that will be mentioned by Wenger is a shame.

The reason that's a shame is because he won't be asked about parking the bus which is what he did. No shame in that against Barcelona imo, but don't come out and talk about how your side is the virtuous one when you do that. For a side at this level to have no shots at goal is simply pathetic. And it was nearing an hour into the game when van Persie was sent off, not 10 minutes in, so they'd already went two thirds of the game without having a shot.

The worst decision the ref made was the non awarding of the penalty for the foul on Messi by Koscielny. Koscielny who could well have been sent off for some other fouls after his booking btw. And I'd also add that on at least one occasion after that penalty shout Pedro (I think) stayed on his feet when he got clipped in the box. I dare say there will be the usual "Platini hates English clubs and gets the refs sent out to nobble them" shite, but have a think about it ffs.

^I have to concede,your winding up got to me.But the game was pretty tense in itself.:p

Lol @ the player's comments on twitter about the ref.Except for Cesc who has infact apologized for his mistakes.

Roll on Saturday!

Edit:Wow,Redcafe bashing the referee mostly.Fair play to them on that count.
Shocking. I felt sorry for Arsenal the entire game with stupid decisions like these. What drugs is the ref on? How can he send a player off for that? He needs to start using his brain.

I assume Wenger will be fined for his comments, but I'd hope/assume Ferguson would do the exact same thing should anything like this happen to us

I bet RVP is going to get as much punishment as Gattuso for his ref bashing on twitter and post match interview. :|

haha, anyone who says RvP deserved booking for what he did is nothing more than a motherf*****

Not even 1 second difference between referee blowing up the whistle and him talking the shot.

Barca deserved to get through. They outplayed us. No doubt about that. But regardless of everything, they were only a penalty and one man better than us. ;) Beauty of the game? :mrgreen:

^ I actually wanted you lot to score 1 at the death and go through on away goals. It would have been fun to see the Barca reaction to that. :D

yup, same here. But we needed RvP for that cuz Bendtner sucks. It wouldn't have made any difference if Rosicky or Denilson would have been sent off. :mrgreen:

^ If it had been RvP instead of Bendtner who latched on to Wilshere's pass, you lot would be celebrating a win (most probably). :D

The same Alonso who performed well in big games unlike your Cesc "He is better than Sneijder/Xabi" Fabregas. :lol:

If that was a red for RvP, then Messi should have been sent off too. Even he took a shot after being flagged offside. :neutral:

Onward to OT. :wink:
