Yeah.... ok then. Four HUGE missed calls in a CL semi isn't a travesty? Of course it is. That they potentially wash each other out counts for nothing. Still four huge missed calls.

Yes. This happens often, as mentioned. Even with your golden boy Mr. Webb. He is not perfect you know. Far from it in fact. However, it is worth pointing out that you don't get so pissed off about the officiating if it benefits your own team.

See, there you go again. Mr Webb. Conspiracy theories. You just can't help it. That is why I mention Liverpool. Mention refs and all they can talk about is conspiracy theories and United. It's a form of insanity.
Simple thing is we're arguing inversely. If these calls had happened in a United game the conspiracies would be all over the map.
For the record I AM NOT calling a conspiracy, I am simply stating that the refereeing has been brutal so far this CL knockout stage and that either get the first world soccer nations in to ref OR scrap that silly rule where all 6 have to be from the same nation. It's that simple statement that has got everyone up in arms.
F-A-C-T of the matter is that it always has to come back to United and conspiracy theories is quite frankly disturbing. It really is. Think about it.

Or it's almost as if it's a no discussion topic when it's not United. But there you go again .... conspiracy theory.

What moral superiority am I claiming by stating that the reffing has been crap and it was time to ditch the 3rd soccer world refs or mix them up?

Go on. The reffing HAS been subpar.
And spare me the more honest BS. A conspiracy theory is not equal to honesty no matter how much you believe it to be true. Well I suppose it is because one deludes oneself that they believe what they say.
Anyways FTR I want a Bayern Madrid final. And NBC .... lol just a joke.
