Are you insane. I saw the game 6+ hours ago now, and I still recall Lehmann winning the ball, and then extending his arm upwards into Beckham's feet, which were by then nearly past him. If you dont think Jens Lehmann knows every little trick in the book, I advise you to take a gander

he may be a bastard, but hes still a funny one
obviously you have amnesia. go look at the video again, lehmann does not extend his arms at all.
TheBlueBalla said:They had what were two decent shouts for a penalty turned down. I hardly think that comes anywhere near to an offside call. Then again, its Madrid's fault for being too heartless to even make a big deal of either non call. Credit to Cicinho, though. He got knocked down by Reyes, but rather than writhe on the floor like a bitch looking for the whistle, he got back up, looked back at the ref, and continued on. That kind of attitude is definately needed on a wider scale in the game today
funny how you chelski fans seem to have selected events. cicinho is a little bit.ch because, yes, he DID roll around uncontrollably when flamini took the ball away from him and didnt touch him.
edit: ^didnt see your comment of not looking at it... take a look at it thne
im not going to defend what reyes did (coming back on the pitch), but apart from that everything else was legit (as far as i remember)
hey buddy, heres an interesting fact.Nuno said:It wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be. We can't lose a game without it being called a crisis.
