    We take all ideas seriously and we've actually discussed this in the past and we simply feel it wouldn't be productive splitting up leagues. If anything it would alienate people, while we want all football fans to feel welcome to post about whatever league they want. I think you're over exaggerating a bit with how talk outside the PL gets swamped. While most of us follow the PL, posts about other leagues are seen and 99% of the time replied to.

    We'll end the discussion in the thread here, but feel free to pm me, any other sports mod or global if you want to discuss it further.

    Yes they are. Very much similar. Two different ways of playing the game with an entirely different rule set.

    I don't care for Real Madrid but I can't say I'm sad seeing these decisions go against Bayern : - )

    Most definitely. And the ref just sealed his fate for future big game refereeing.

    No chance man. Honestly just bet one paycheck on madrid to win the whole thing. I did it before the first game with Bayern. It's the safest bet in history.

    Ye hopefully UEFA and FIFA will finally act and start using video technology after this shit show.

    It has become extremely obvious that current system with refs dont work anymore since its pretty much impossible for them to follow the games anymore since most games are so fast pace these days its impossible to tell within seconds of whats happening.

    Like others have said this game and Barca - PSG really do show that we NEED video tachnology NOW!

    First thing the analysts say post-match: "I hope this ref watches this and resigns for the rest of his life. Absolutely shambolic"

    This is 10 times worse than PSG game. Honestly I have no idea how Perez can afford all those bribes. He must be the richest man on earth.
