La Liga Thread 2013/14

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible challenge from Mascherano.

[GP]

send him off!

[Niall_Quinn]

Some Spanish bloke rolling around the pitch 800 times. Seems okay now having been dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique. :doh:

Just hammer it you gimp.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Malaga, Pique! :haha:

How do I do it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Malaga, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-0 Malaga, Pedro! Messi assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Malaga, Sanchez! Messi assisting the assister.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, Tello on.

[Marc Overmars]

Messi must be the only player who gets assist updates from Maccy.

[GP]

We should buy Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi just over from a freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi must be the only player who gets assist updates from Maccy.

Diego Costa did too tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi freekick, wide.

Messi. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ref with a backheel flick to Dani Alves. Nice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Sergi Roberto on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez off, Afellay on.

Afellay. :lol:

Forgot about him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Malaga, FT.

No goal for Messi again. :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Gave up watching it before half time. It was like a training match.

[fakeyank]

We should buy Messi.

U cray? We got Bendtner who can play there too, yo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid went through against Espanyol last night, won 1-0 to make it 2-0 on Agg. Jese with the goal.

They will face Athletic Club or Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals which is on at 7pm tonight (0-1 from the first leg).

Barcelona vs Levante on after that at 9pm (4-1 from the first leg).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa through on goal after 40 seconds, should have made it 0-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking like a bad one for Fllipe Luis, could well be ligaments gone for another player.

Insua coming on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-0 Atleti, Aduriz!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Courtois to deny Aduriz his second!

Athletic have been brilliant.

[Munchies]

Really hope he leaves.

Maureen has a world class keeper who can be their number 1 for the next decade +

Chesney has the same potential though tbf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves again, this time from Rico!

Atleti are getting pummeled.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-1 Atleti, Raul Garcia. Athletic need two goals now!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-2 Atletico Madrid, Diego Costa does end his goal drought now for certain.

This will be Athletic's first defeat in the New San Mames.

Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid in one of the semi finals. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Pinto; Montoya, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano; Song, Roberto, Iniesta; Tello, Fabregas, Sanchez.

Levante: Jimenez; Juanfran, Vyntra, Karabelas, Nagore; El Adoua, Pinto, Rios; Garcia, Camarasa, Angel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 0-1 Levante, Vyntra!

[GP]

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or Roberto, Sky and Sports Mole can't decide.

[Munchies]

Madrid for the title

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is the Copa Del Rey tbf.

Barcelona 1-1 Levante, Adriano.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-1 Levante, Puyol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-1 Levante, absolute tap-ins for Sanchez. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-1, Cesc.

Messi not on for some +1's oddly.

Valencia: Alves; Barragan, R. Costa, Mathieu, Bernat; Romeu, Fuego; Feghouli, Parejo, Piatti; Alcacer.

Will Messi sort his life out and finally score again in La Liga?

[GP]

Looks like a giant contraceptive.

And the cocks go inside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Valencia, Sanchez! Messi assist, I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Might have been a save from Diego Alves and now he saves from Messi too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 Valencia, Parejo! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-2 Valencia, PIATTI!! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tata needs to stop this silliness and play Iniesta, not Cesc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-2 Valencia, Messi finally gets his goal via a pelanty.

One away for double figures in La Liga this season. Worse than Giroud. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-3 Valencia, PACO!!!! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's time for Barca to put Xavi out to pasture.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi finally hauled off, Iniesta on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba sent off! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi misses a sitter!

[GP]

Messi misses a sitter!

Stick a fork in him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-3 Valencia, FT! :haha:

Atleti can go to top, again. Don't screw it up!

Tata. :wave:

[GP]

It's funny cos his name is a way of saying goodbye.

[Master Splinter]

Barca :haha:.

[Syn]

It's funny cos his name is a way of saying goodbye.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Godín, Miranda, Insua; Gabi, Suarez, Koke; Sosa, Costa, David Villa

Real Sociedad: Bravo; C.Martinez, Ansotegi, I.Martinez, Angel; Gaztanaga, Zurutuza, Pardo; Prieto; Vela, Griezmann.

Don't screw it up Atleti! This is on SS2 in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa nearly in tears for the pre-match tribute of Aragones.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti fans really giving Aragones some reception.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for David Villa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Griezmann dives in to Miranda, Miranda gets booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Real Sociedad, David Villa!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa off injured, Raul Garcia on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Real Sociedad, HT.

Don't screw it up!

If they don't screw it up, it'd be the first time Atleti have been clear at the top since winning the title in 1996. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful from Xabi Prieto. Brunt overtook his sense there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sosa off, CK approved Legend Diego on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 2-0 Real Sociedad, Diego Costa!

Atleti going top!! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 3-0 Real Sociedad, Miranda!

It's their year. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 4-0 Real Sociedad, Diego! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 FT! Atleti clear at the top. :bow:

Simeone. :bow:

Barca. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Simeone :bow:.

Come on Ahtletic Club :scarf:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club: Iraizoz; De Marcos, Gurpegi, Laporte, Balenziaga; Iturraspe, Rico; Susaeta, Herrera, Muniain; Aduriz.

Real Madrid: Lopez; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Alonso, Modric; Di Maria, Jese, Ronaldo; Benzema.

Bale injured again. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an effort from Ronaldo. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo rolling about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Aduriz!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Muniain, what a cock up!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xabi Alonso booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid have been dominated in this game but Athletic keep doing silly things in Marketing's area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema. :haha:

The French David Dunn.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Athletic Club have been great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Ronaldo. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ander Herrera grabs on to Ronaldo's shirt two handed. No yellow. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iraizoz saves from Benzema!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Marcos off, Iraola on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 0-1 Real Madrid, Jese!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-1 Real Madrid, Ibai Gomez! Just came on for Muniain. :haha:

What a strike! In off the post.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

Send Ronaldo off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yellow card for Gurpegui!

Ronaldo SENT OFF! :haha:

[Munchies]

What he do ?

[GP]

What he do ?

Punched a guy in the face.


Well, not really, but still...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He had a flick at Gurpegui's face but then he went in head first on Iturraspe (though he did the same).

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That ref is definitely waking up dead in the morning.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Florentino Corleone. :bow:

[Munchies]

Atletico for the title it is then

:scarf:

[Master Splinter]

Ronaldo :haha:.

Real/Barca :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an effort from Ibai Gomez, Diego Lopez tips it over!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Lopez saves again. Thought it was in. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What went on with Casillas?

I thought he fell out with Mourinho, but for it to carry on this season seems to suggest it was something deeper/with the club itself?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rico off, Benat on.

Benat. :bow:

No Toquero. :(

Jese went off for Illara, Benzema off for Morata.

[GP]

Ronaldo :haha:

Real/Barca :haha:

Gareth Fail :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What went on with Casillas?

I thought he fell out with Mourinho, but for it to carry on this season seems to suggest it was something deeper/with the club itself?

I think Ancelotti just believes Diego Lopez is a better goalkeeper now.

[Munchies]

I thought Benat was still at Betis, Fifa legend :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carvajal off, Varane on.

Sign him up, Arsene!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-1 Real Madrid, FT!

Athletic stay in fourth, Villarreal can close the gap tomorrow.

Real Madrid stay in third but most importantly Atleti three points clear of Barca and Marketing. :bow:

Barca/Real :haha:

No teams to take points off them in La Liga. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Copa Del Rey SFs First Legs this midweek.

Real Madrid - Atletico Madrid at 7pm Wednesday, Barcelona - Real Sociedad after that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And they are on tonight. SS1. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao; Modric, Alonso; Jese, Di Maria, Ronaldo; Benzema

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Insua; Gabi, Koke; Turan, Diego, Garcia; Diego Costa.

[Munchies]

Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao; Modric, Alonso; Jese, Di Maria, Ronaldo; Benzema

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Insua; Gabi, Koke; Turan, Diego, Garcia; Diego Costa.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AND IT'S LIVE!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Worst quickly taken freekick ever by Arda Turan. :lol:

Diego Costa winding them up already. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well defended by Juanfran to stop Ronaldo getting a header.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miranda. :haha:

Tried slicing it in for an OG. Didn't work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arda Turan header, Casillas saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Atletico Madrid, Pepe! Huge deflection off Insua!

It's probably an OG tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa is a brilliant troll.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa runs in to the back of Pepe, hoping for a foul, nothing given.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe and Diego Costa again. :haha:

Pepe booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego booked. A red can't be far away in this game.

[Munchies]

Costa is such a cunt of a player. But he makes his prescence known, and we could do with a twat like him up front.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo's control has been really poor tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't even know what that was from Di Maria. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Atleti, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shot, easy for Courtois.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-0 Atleti, Jese!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois unconvincly saves with his legs from Di Maria's shot.

[Munchies]

Di Maria's pass :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa booked. :lol:

He's out of the second leg, so says Gerry Armstrong anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arda Turan off, Adrian on.

[Munchies]

Diego Costa booked. :lol:

He's out of the second leg, so says Gerry Armstrong anyway.

Might aswell bet on him to get a red card then lol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah go out with a bang.

[Özim]

Real and p*ssing all over Athletico tonight. Not impressed with Costa seen him play a lot of times, £32 million is a lot of money for a player like him.

He's worth 15-20 million max.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a clearance off the line from Modric to deny Godin!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema off, Morata on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 3-0 Atleti, Di Maria! How did that go in? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah another massive deflection, off Miranda this time!

[Munchies]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BfvJcoRIQAEwLhT.jpg

:haha:

[Özim]

3-0 it's beef curtains for Athletico.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa, Pepe and Suarez in the same team would be the ultimate troll squad.

[Munchies]

Diego Costa, Pepe and Suarez in the same team would be the ultimate troll squad.

And Lehmann in goal. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mad Jens. :bow:

Di Maria off, possibly injured. Illarra on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What's the point giving a manager a booking?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful freekick from Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo has had an absolute stinker.

Must be pissed on his birthday.

Real Madrid 3-0 Atleti, FT. Atleti pretty close to being out tbf.

[Munchies]

oh yeah , was playing a game of fifa in the morning, Martin Tyler said 'its his birthday today' when Ronaldo picked up the ball at the start :lol:

[Munchies]

He's 29 also :faint:

Man, I remember trying to copy his step-overs/feints back in school footy when he first arrived :getcoat: .

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Ronaldo. :lol:


Barcelona: Pinto; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas; Sanchez, Messi, Pedro.

Real Sociedad: Zubikarai; Zaldua, Ansotegi, Mikel, Inigo, Angel; Zurutuza, Elustondo, Gaztanaga, Griezmann; Vela.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc really should have scored from close range and so should Sanchez.

I don't get why Tata just doesn't play Iniesta from the start much.

[Munchies]

Brutal, horrible, disgusting monkey chants at Marcelo by the Atletico fans while he & the other Madrid subs do their warm down. Inexcusable

#Marcelo just turns and looks up at them in total disgust, puzzlement and bemusement at them. Hands on hips as if to say 'you clowns'

His kid comes on the pitch & runs to his arms while these fools sing "hope your dad dies". This isn't football as I know it. Rotten to core

Terrible but little changes in Spain with regards to this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi freekick, smacks the woodwork!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

What is this pubber doing?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vela booked for handball. Bit harsh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc giving it away poorly again.

[Munchies]

Cesc. :lol:

What is this pubber doing?

How has he played overall this season ?

I haven't seen him play in a live game for a while

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pinto saves from Vela! Vela appealing he was held back by Mascherano (already on a yellow), nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has he played overall this season ?

I haven't seen him play in a live game for a while

Much the same as last season. Ok but still think Barca are weaker with him than without, especially at the expense of Iniesta.

Barcelona 1-0 Real Sociedad, Busquets! Inigo sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Real Sociedad, HT.

[Master Splinter]

Vela should have scored, but surely Mascherano was pulling him?

What was Inigo sent off for?

Corruption :bow:.

Why do the non-government/oil money backed teams even bother?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Supposedly said something to the referee. Maybe called him a Barca fan.

85% possession for Barca. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Who will the refs be playing for in the Citeh v Barca games?

Citeh can outbid them, but Barca must have had the benefit of the most ridiculous refereeing favours in recent years in the CL.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You'd expect Barca will be given the benefit. Mascherano will be sent off in those games otherwise - Yaya charging at him is only going to mean a rugby tackle, blissfully ignored.

[Master Splinter]

:haha: :haha:

Amazing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez hits the post, Elustondo decides to whack it against Zubikarai and in it goes!

Awlsome OG. :haha:

2-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi does get a rugby tackle! :haha:

Gaztanaga with it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Francois Pienaar in the crowd too. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zurutuza cries out in agony.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

You'd expect Barca will be given the benefit. Mascherano will be sent off in those games otherwise - Yaya charging at him is only going to mean a rugby tackle, blissfully ignored.

He didn't do it to Theo, despite my pleas!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc, Cesc, Cesc. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He didn't do it to Theo, despite my pleas!

And Jim Beglin's.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro goes for the volley. Highly unlikely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vela off, Canales on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi booked. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez off, Iniesta on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Zubikarai to deny Messi.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And Jim Beglin's.
And, you'll be surprised to read, Thommo.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib06W_tWkLA

Poor old Mclintock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:sick:

Well not for that part but everything else.

Barcelona 2-0 Real Sociedad, FT. Should be them through to the final too.

[Syn]

Juseen the epic own goal. Was good. But great pass by Cesc. Wondering if he has been cured of being English and is no longer frankcesc.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - not really a corrupt league.


The referee who dismissed Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid's draw at Athletic Bilbao last weekend has been suspended amid suggestions he changed his story of the incident.
The Spanish League's Refereeing Technical Committee (CTA) has dropped Miguel Angel Ayza Gamez for a month and he has been barred from officiating Real matches this season.
According to reports in Spain, there is a real danger he could be demoted from the list of La Liga match officials following his poor handling of the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double save from Valdes!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sevilla 1-3 Barcelona, Messi with his second!

[GP]

He's back!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great tackle from Fazio on Messi. Numerous chances either end. :lol:

Atletico Madrid 0-1 Real Madrid, Ronaldo pelanty.

Only the five needed for Atleti now...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 0-2 Real Madrid, Ronaldo pelanty again!

All gone to pot for Atleti. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Finished 3-0. Godin with the third.

Come on Rayo and Getafe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Atleti. Football is saved.

Unfortunately Rayo have no sense of defending so that could well be a true hammering.

Barcelona 1-0 Rayo, Adriano curls it in!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What an effort from Iniesta! From the halfway line on the volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi hits the post! Ridiculous change of direction.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez messes up what should be an easy pass to Messi.

Stunning ball from Iniesta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca nearly give it away in ridiculous fashion.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

From BBC live text:
Louis Barrett: Messi will score in this match, mark my words!

Outrageous prediction.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi somehow find a gap to shoot from when it didn't like he could, with his chocolate leg no less. Saved though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi. :bow:

He really is back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi shits on them again, Cesc messes it up though.
