Nothing is wrong with having groups. Whats wrong is having seeding. Thats my pet hate. You need some really hard groups - thats just not happening at the moment. Get rid of seeding (all the way through the competition but especially the group stage) and it will transform the situation and competition.
Have we just seen the worst decision in Champions Leaue history???......................Bullsh!t, never a peno!

steven gerrard is a cheat, no influence on the game at all apart cheating. atletico robbed in vicente calderon and anfield
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
beyond a ridiculous decision. If anything it was free out because Gerrard just jumped into the defender. Decisions like that really leave a bad taste

Diving ******* rat. If that was Ronaldo you'd never hear the end of it.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Gerrard has a history of being a cheating c**t. Can't believe the grief the english media give Ronaldo & Drogba. They're not in this guys class of cheating

Incident
Here you go buddy, pick the free out form here and tell everyone how you two and Bill O'Herlihy are alone in thinking such
Why are you putting a link to whats already displayed above? Everyone I've spoken to in work today thinks it was a free out. Athletico player looking at the ball the whole time. Gerrard lunged with his knee at chest height straight into the player. Free out. You are the only person I've seen that thinks it wasn't a free out
totally agree if drogba / ronaldo did this the english media would go to town on them a blatent dive by gerrard and not his first time either.. what really p*ssed me off was on utv they totaly ignored dive and kept going on about gerrard once again saving liverpool even ray houghton on rte showed his true red colours definatly a penalty he says in comentary,, then gerrard had the neck to say during his interview i won the ball and player caught me late a definate penalty... he is the golden boy of the english media and is getting all the breaks at the moment... but dive aside liverpool deserved at least a draw on second half performance ... even though benitz / alonso / gerrard all said they controlled first half of game .. must have been a diiferent game i was watching ,, liverpool were terrible in first half could not pass a ball .. at least madrid knocked it about and kept possesion ... on a lighter note anybody see torres and his wife / girlfriend in the stand that the camera kept going to...
is it just me or did anybody else thing she was the double of torres .. wearing a black wig![]()

Personally, I think it was a peno. The defender didn't get the ball (Gerrard did) and caught Gerrard in the back with his arm. I also didn't think any of the other handballs were penos as they were all accidental. The RTE Panel seems to think that a ball hitting a hand automatically means a penoAs for Souness and "fast tracking ex-players to be refs", obviously none of them could be bothered as there is nothing stopping them becoming refs but I suspect the pay is bad.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
To be fair, they are a lot more knowledgable than your work mates![]()
shocking decision really . robbed Atleti of three points Pernia had every right to be aggrieved![]()
Liverpool aside, Famaguasta were leading Inter Milan until they clawed back to 3-3. And Chelsea stuffed in Roma. Who said the opening rounds were predictable?
