Ooh I really missed Clemente. Oh I love the hate he spews at Madrid. Keep it coming Javi. Truly Classic.

I hear ya Corey, I’m not saying De la Red makes a habit of that kind of play. All I was saying is that it was a big mistake from a young player at the biggest stage he has played in thus far. I just hope he learns from the mistake, as I am sure he will think about it a lot and feels like crap right now. What ever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, hopefully it will make him a better and more experienced player if he does join Real.

I would not put to much emphasis on De la Red’s red card, he is a very clean player, and does not accumulate cards like candy. It was mistimed and probably unneeded, but he was trying to stop the chance, I feel for him.

I didn’t watch the game but from the highlights these guys made a valiant effort. As a Real supporter though, and with all the news of De la Red recently, I do have to say that the red card was not all that unwarranted. He made a very very stupid foul and at the very least deserved a yellow card. My assumption is that because he was the last line of defense, other than the keeper, his foul was an automatic red. Either way, very stupid, and that kind of inexperience will not be tolerated at Real Madrid, no matter how much hype you’ve got behind you.

Not to say that some of our guys haven’t made stupid mistakes, but usually that means a lot of bench time and a lack of trust from the Mister.

Let’s hope the boy learned a valuable lesson on a very big stage. Unfortunately, life’s most valuable lessons are more often than not learned from failure.

My hopes were soaring after Braulio scored, and now – I should probably be put on watch. So close…

Geta are beaten 4-4 on aggregate, what a heart breaker, I stopped watching after Braulio scored. Geta, I am very proud of you.
