It's not so much that as that it would have extended a great tie into a 30 minute shootout. Entertainment value is all, nothing more for me and nothing to do with Buffon, who was deservedly sent off.

I was watching as a neutral, I don't care who won I was just looking forward to extra time. As was the world at large I would assume.

It's a sport first and entertainment second. It can't be the other way round, it's not WWE.

Rules can't be bent when the stakes are so high. I think Juve should have kept the pressure on and they'd have probably won 4-0 last night, instead they reverted to a defensive set up and allowed Real to gain confidence and start to control it towards the end.

If it’s a pen it’s a pen, doesn’t matter if it’s the last seconds or the first minute

He trusted his judgement and you’ve admitted he was correct. If he doesn’t call it and Madrid go out in ET or on pens then he’d be rightly labelled a bottler.

You’re just pissed because Madrid went through ;)

<laugh> Maybe. It's Bayern I don't want though we'll do Madrid. <whistle>

Yes, I know. Hence I followed up with this;

That said, it was a definite pen and a definite sending off so what can you do, eh?

from a watching perspective though, I'd have liked to see that extra 30 minutes. Although there was ample drama in the penalty incident in itself.

I'm not arsed who went through, my only interest is that if whoever went through gets Liverpool they beat them.

You're going out, mate.

You'll be hoping to avoid an Arsenal-esque dry humping, I suppose.

Bookmarked :)

That's a brave prediction mate, seeing as we're 4-1 up from the first leg. Hope this comment doesn't come back to haunt you <ghost>

The comment is about ‘Pool going out in the semi final of the Big Boy competition, not about Arsenal’s return leg against some Afghan plumbers (or whoever they are), you muppet!

^^^ Rattled.

Nice attempt at backtracking but I've already bookmarked your comment.
 
The Champions league games were a bit boring this week, so now it's time for the main event CSKA Moscow v Arsenal
 
Not watching it but 17 mins in and Marseille are currently 2-1 up against Leipzig. Fast start or what!?
