Incidentally, the two teams who have gone through were both in Man City's group.

Let's examine the evidence;
* Interview before the game where he said his next job will be in England, but not at Chelsea.
* The way he walked off the pitch before the final whistle, apologising to baconchops, walking towards the tunnel, head bowed.
* Then the interview where he says the best team lost.
I'd say he wants that job. As clear as the red nose on Baconfaces face.
no chance... de jong was intent.. watch his face..
intent has no bearing on the refs deision!
What about Rafael's handball on the line? Should have been red card and penalty.

That's just such a non-sensical argument..
Refs get decisions wrong so as long as they even themselves out it's OK? Madrid have also had men sent off..
Reverend I think it does, and so does refs like Gallagher. He said it was a yellow, Nani's eyes were on the ball.

You cannot.. in anyway compare the two challenges. Nani was trying to control a high ball, the player was coming in from his side. De Jong is going in for the challenge knowing the player is there...
They are just so incomparable it is shocking its even being discussed in the same breath..
Wanting to be the best loser..
United deserved to go through, but thats football.. you win games you shouldn't and you lose games you shouldn't. I don't think the ref was anything untoward, just a bad call, like the FA/refs dont favour Man U.
It is true that in the EPL that wouldn't have even been a yellow.. in europe its far harder.
Balotelli "Man United fans saying it wasn't a red card should watch the replay & see the colour of the card, maybe they are colour blind"
Brilliant.
im rather warming to roy keane
Me too Lilac, me too.
I notice the rags on here haven't mentioned the wrongly disallowed goal in the 1st half.
They haven't really mentioned the Rafael handball which should have been a penalty and a red card.
They forget their goal in the 1st leg was from a corner, where the ball went out for a goal kick but a corner was given in error.
Thats 3 huge slices of luck they had in the tie, 4 if you look at Madrids own goal in the game but they insist on blaming the ref, who made the right call.
