Well I got something right in this game anyway

It wasn't even on in Spain in the end Crowie. Telemadrid were showing it, and they left the ground about 10 minutes after it was stopped, and from what I could make out they seemed to think it had been abandoned. I've only just now found out they played the rest of the game.
The ref, as I pointed out about half hour into the game on here, was totally incompetent, he just had no control over the game, there were a lot of niggly fouls, the game was constantly stopping and starting, and the ref was too happy to flash the cards around (as most refs in Spain are). The first penalty appeared to be a dive by Saviola, but I wouldn't criticise the ref too much for giving it, it wasn't obvious at first that it was a dive. It did lead to Luccin getting booked though, and as he was later sent off I guess Atletico may appeal that. No arguments at all with the second penalty, a blatant and totally unnecessary handball.
Bah, that's 8 points lost for me on that game. I'm doing crap on my Primera Liga predictions
