~~On topic, Man U were beaten by a superior side - get over it. It was nothing to do with a bad referee or myopic linesmen, Real PLAYED BETTER FOOTBALL.~~

Off topic, but shame about those cheating peasant refs hey? All you Man U fans should go to the united nations, or God or something. Perhaps they can sort it all out for you.

He wasn't exactly cheating, he was simply terrible. There should be one penalty for each club and that red was uncalled for. He got in the way of proper football, until Nani's card the game was the best match I've seen this year. After that, well... at this level, being one man down is simply terrible.

Also, that Real substitute goalie really earned his keep this match. Could very well see this game ending like 4-3 if not for both goalies' badassery...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I'm not a peasant. I've got an office job. And as a man with an office job, I checked the Laws of the Game to see if there was any basis for the red card.

According to Law 12,

Quote

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the following seven offences:

serious foul play
[...]

Then it becomes a matter of interpretation if this was serious foul play or not. According to Interpretations of Laws of the Game, serious foul play is, amongst other things(my emphasis):

Quote

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

Based on this, it may be justifiable to give Nani a red card.

That said, I would only have awarded Nani with a yellow on account of reckless play:

Quote

"Reckless" means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, his opponent. A player who plays in a reckless manner must be cautioned

My current job title is Senior Scientist. Along with the other Senior Scientists in my business, we meet each week to discuss problems and plan the next batch of work. I'm the only native British person in the group with the other people being from China, India and Italy. One of the Indian ladies took to abbreviating the name of our working group in correspondance to "the SS". Now they have all taken it up and there are meeting minutes circulating the company with the email subject "SS meeting". I just replied to the group with a short desciption of what the abbreviation "SS" is historically associated with and said it is up to them if they think it is appropriate for our team. Feckin idiots but it has kept me entertained for half the day and composing the email nearly made me and a colleague suffocate from laughing so much.

Today I learned, thanks to the TVTropes page for You Are In Command Now, that

Quote

this is the origin of a french army tradition; Adjutants (a senior enlisted rank) are called "My Lieutenant" due to an incident during the napoleonic wars. A unit that was being led by its senior NCO after losing much of its officers in battle impressed Napoleon, who mistook the uniform for a Lieutenant's. When he was informed that the "brave Lieutenant" was "merely" an Adjutant, he told his staff that from now on they would be addressed as Lieutenant.

I hereby demand that everyone address me as "my Lieutenant."

I forgot to toast my buns, so I ended up cooking my wieners longer than usual, and they turned out great as a result. Got brown and juicy. And they were just that much more cozy in them buns as a result. Couldn't wait to shove them in my mouth, almost kept one in each hand, but patience is a virtue. Still, went down fast and hard with nary a space for breath. Anyway, glad I did it, would recommend it to anyone else. Funny when mistakes turn into opportunities.

And by talking about man cards you just proved you are a subservient bitch who feels the need to conform to what society views as 'male' behavior. Congrats on not being able to think for yourself.
