Another gem - "nothing would make me happier than if we sold you this summer".
Gibson endures Twitter abuse: Sport: Soccer: English Premiership
Gibson needed roseboy on there to defend him.
Also, Rio "show him some love tweeps" Ferdinand = tosser.

Nah, I'm sticking with it, the play-acting and diving is making this faker then a Cheryl Cole "live" performance. Ghastly.

Every five minutes it seems there is someone lying around on the ground and players having a ruckus around the referee.
It's ******** irritating. Get up and play some football already you bunch of overpaid diving sissies.
If we wanted to watch a diving competition ,would rather watch the Olympic diving contest.

This is an embarrasing spectacle for football TBH.
Lets bring the Dida ruling back, and give any player a 3 match ban if they are caught faking a smack in the face. (will help us in the final mind!)
If this wasn't a semi, i'd say kick both teams out of the tourney, especially after the handbags at half time.

The Irish commentator proclaiming before the match that 'there isn't a finer way to spend two hours ... well, at least not in a way that can be said on television' may have overstretched himself.

If this was Scotland we'd be holding a summit just now.
The quality isn't great, but it's compelling viewing. We're one bad decision away from a riot.
Soft sending off, but it makes up for Pepe's behaviour in the last 2 clasicos. He should have been sent off in both games before half time.

Commentator is such a ****ing dip****.
'I think he has made the wrong decision there, it might have looked dangerous from his viewpoint, but it wasn't'.
If it looked dangerous from his viewpoint, then he was right to send him off you ****.

ITV commentary is doing my head in tbh. "You don't see diving and play acting like this back home". **** off, it's rife and you know it.
One of the more obvious red cards I've seen for a while right there as well. At least he picked a worthy target for stamping on. Can't stand Dani Alves.

Soft, but there's a case for dangerous play, which is an automatic red.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in slow motion it definitely looks like first off he's gone in with studs up, which is stupid, but then there looks like a definite attempt to lash out once the ball has gone, split second thing, but if that's the case then he's rightfully gone imo.

Wasn't a red at all for mine.
Both of them made a similar challenge as the ball was there to be won and both had their studs up.
There is no way you can't go for such a ball.
And if he wanted he could have kept his studs up and rubbed it in like Scholes against City ,but did not.
Clearly the referee bottled it under pressure with the whole Barca team running at him.
Plus the playacting.
There was hardly any contact with Alves.

Yes, the attempt to stamp on Alves afterwards clearly demonstrates a lack of gumption on the part of the referee.

Not to this bloody extent it does not.
Every minute there is someone diving here and then surrounding the referee.
and the best part is none of them are believable. grabbing your face when you run into someones leg and stupid stuff like that.
its already to the point where the football almost doesnt matter because they want to get each other down to 10 or lower to win that way.
And Barca succeeded.
