Champions League this week

Rooney.

Gomes deserved to be sent off though. People may say it was early in the game, but at the end of the day he was committed and he basically didn't win the ball and denied a goal scoring opportunity.

Referees should consider the following circumstances when deciding whether
to send off a player for denying a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity:
• the distance between the offence and the goal
• the likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball
• the direction of the play
• the location and number of defenders
• the offence which denies an opponent an obvious goalscoring opportunity
may be an offence that incurs a direct free kick or an indirect free kick

That's the criteria apparently. BAE was on his shoulder and the Inter player didn't have total control of the ball. It's a tricky one, penalty yes but the sending off is debatable.

Thought Benitez was cheeky waving for a card.

Well this Inter player (i feel sorry for not knowing his name, I do apologize) either has a simple tap in after taking it past Gomes, gets fouled by the defender or gets tackled fairly. i'd bet him winning the race and tapping it in.

Plus it's heat of the moment, the home side are appealing in thousands. it's a 2 second decision, and following the reaction thats generally how the referee decides.

Haha, apparently after Bale scored his hat-trick Inter fans were shouting 'busman' (waiter) at Rafa.

Rangers are my second team ,i thought we played well against Valencia. Missed a few easy chances but still got a point out of the game after an own goal
