Fantastic finish and I thoguht Real were going to regret last week's lap of honour. Sky still managed to mention Beckham every minute even after he was substituted. Well done to Real.

How dare a country show interest in one of their most prominent sportsmen , who do these guys think they are?
He went off when it was one nil to Mallorca and as soon as he went off Real equalised and went onto win. Doesn't show his performance in the best light now, does it?
I don't watch La Liga so I don't know how Beckham played this year so I'm not going to say he doesn't deserve it but I wouldn't put it past the English media, especially the likes of Sky, to overdo something like this.

Lets be honest here, if it was an Irish Man playing for Real and Setanta Sports where covering the game, Setanta sports would probably have a split screen. One side showing the game, the other side as a player cam.(I'm exaggerating to get my point across)
It is only natural a country backs there own players when playing in foreign lands. I really don't see the big deal. Certainly didn't annoy my viewing of the game in any way.
Beckham wasn't fit yesterday, you could see that. He has been in good form recently and if Van Nistlerooy played for longer, you would have seen more of Beckham and they have great link up play.
The Hallion Battalion Molests football.:D
Glad to see the cheater Messi didn't win it as a result of another hand of God goal.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
what about poor Celta win our game and get relegated because Betis bought their game against Santander
It's that kind of bias that disgusts me. It's not just Sky.
It happens in every country and I for one hate it.
My point was when their showing highlights of the Spanish league they harp on about an English player who's leaving. They didn't go on about Roberto Carlos as much.

did you really expect anything else from sky after all golden balls beckham more or less won la liga on his own ... don't forget this is the same beckham 6-9 months ago the same sky sport & most papers had put him down as finished .. how quickly they change their mindsIt's that kind of bias that disgusts me. It's not just Sky.

" football is a simple game "
FFS lads if it was an Irish channel and it was Roy Keane does anyone think it'd be different here? (Or if it was Keane do you think it'd be different on Sky?)
Of course Sky were unbelievable biased towards Beckham and Madrid BUT in fairness to the commentator last night (and begrudgingly Armstrong) they gave 100% credit to the substitution of Beckham with Reyes. I've no doubt that if Madrid hadn't have won, they'd have pointed to that as en error but as it was they were completely fair last night.

That tells absolutely zero about Beckham's performance.
That's what was said by Sky.

Don't knock Betis. I still have my Betis jersey (green and white stripes) that a fan gave me when I was supporting Ireland in Seville a few years back (the 0-0 with the "offside" goal by Aldo which wasn't) so they are my Spanish team of sorts.

having watched the game it says a fair bit. he wasn't the worst player out there but he did absolutely nothing when he was on the pitch. The introduction of Reyes gave the team a fair bit of impetus

Well I have no problem with Betis fans , great city great people, but a chairman who is very dodgy, and well you look at the sequence of scores on Sunday you can only wonder, up to this Santander were flying, then they loose at home to Betis , who lost the previous week to 0-5 at home ?????????
Anyway I support Cetla because of their Celtic orgins
We will be back
Sky Sports are reporting that Barca are after Arsene Whinger. You get sacked in Spain if you're the manager of either Barca and Real if you don't win the league

No need for those last 6 words Owlsfan.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Barcelona are fairly good with managers. Van Gaal didn't win the league but wa there a while.Sky Sports are reporting that Barca are after Arsene Whinger
Wenger's a top top manager and I'm sure he could make his own demands before agreeing to anything

Sevilla played the best football in spain this year, but the league run in coupled with uefa cup run saw fatigue get the better of them, one to keep in mind next year
We'll never die!
