    Absolutely disagree. First, there wasn't intent, Nani was playing the ball as was Arbeloa. If he was trying to kick Arbeloa, then maybe but I remember a straight kick to the chest in the WC 2010 (Dutch?) that was issued a yellow. This was very tame compared to that. Second, If that's a red then Real's keep Lopez should have gotten one for contacting Vidic on the corner. Third, this ref has a history of hard lining EPL players (Gerrard, Mario, Cahill). Fourth, this isn't the Bundesliga, or the EPL , or any other league for that matter. It's the top stage in one of the biggest games ever.

    The decision has to be airtight (especially in wake of the recent scandal), and it's far from it.

     

    I'm not a Man U apologist, as I said I hate em. But that shouldn't have been a red.

     

    It doesnt matter which league it is. There is no difference in the rules no matter if friendly in the 4th league or world cup final. It's a dangerous play and according to the rules than can result in a red card. The intent (or not intent) doesnt matter at all. If Lopes should have gotten red is a different story. And of course the dutch guy back then should have gotten a red card for sure.

     

    Nani's play was dangerous and he hit him right in the chest/stomach area. That's according to the rules a red card. And thank god it is.

    In germany we had 3 plays like that this year(red card on every play). You cant have the leg up there. Doesnt matter if you dont see him. If you have the leg up there and you hit the guy -> Red card.

    You took the risk to possibly injure someone. Could have hit his face. That happened before. He didnt see him but you are responsible for what you do.

     

    I know it's tough because in the past this was not a red card. I can understand why the ref gave him the red, and I am actually happy they do this these days. Could still have injured rips/lunge, splenic...

     

    I got hit myself when I played on a similar play. Wasn't much fun :D He barely touched my chin but at first I thought... "OMG my beautiful face" haha

    I don't know you well enough yet and since you didn't use an emoticon I will assume you are serious.

     

    It's Man U, man. They are golden and no one ever deserves a red card. So, obviously the ref fixed the match by giving out that red ..........

     

     

     

     

     

    :P

     

    Man, I hate Man U.

     

    Oh I didnt mean you. :D :P I meant the media going nuts why the ref gave him a red card... Those writers and journalists are just stupid. That was a red card!

  12. Kassian to Vancouver for Hodgson

    And you'd still be wrong.

     

    Right now the development of Foligno and Kassian seem to be on similar tracks. Long term, IMO, this franchise would have been better off with both Foligno and Kassian in the Sabres lineup.

     

    Vancouver wanted Kassian or Foligno. So the trade would have been Foligno for Hodgson or Kassian for Hodgson. Thats why I compare those 2 instead of Kassian and Hodgson.

    To stick with your example, I'd give it approximately a .00001% chance that juice can catapult an athlete 128 spots higher on the pecking order. My general feelings on doping is they can move a player up a single tier of ability: grocery clerk-minor leaguer, depth player-low end regular, very good-great, and so on. I think people tend to either overestimate the effects juicing has, or underestimate the quality of athlete somebody is before doping.

     

    Well doping does a lot. Especially Lance didnt just use the stuff during the TdF. He used it during practice and before the TdF so he could practice more and recover quickly... That changes a lot. Best example Floyd Landis..

     

    19. July 2006 16th stage... Floyd Landis lead in the race for the maillot jaune... On the 16th stage he lost 8 minutes to the guys who were behind him. He was totally out of gas no chance to keep up with the others... ONE day later on one of the most difficult stages of the Tour he is flying up the hill again (alone without help) winning it by almost 6 minutes. A few days later it was revealed that Landis was using testosteron on that stage... So from nowhere able to compete to dominating everyone within one day...
