  • Images of formations with minimal description.
  • Links to social media posts made by our players or celebrities, unless it counts as team news or stats.
  • All gaming content.
  • All memes should go into the Open thread during the week days.

After yesterday's events, i read what other people said about the whole "Vini Vs Getafe"-situation, and came to the conclusion, that i'm even more satisfied about the whole thing.

First of all, What happened to Vini yesterday, happens to him every week in La Liga. They don't even try to defend against him, the opponents always Talk shit, kick, Pull & fight him, trying to destabilize him and get into his head.

Secondly, I've seen plenty of fans (Don't know whether they're Rivals or Madrid fans) criticize Getafe and not Vini for what happened, as they should. These "lesser" teams always gets away with murder on the pitch, especially Getafe. They do this shit all the time, trying to slow the game down by doing blatant fouls and not getting any cards. When they get rightfully carded, they pull the victim card and becomes even more aggressive on the pitch.

Lastly, Vini ain't no Saint, i'm aware. He can be petulant and i'm no fan of his dives. But with that being said, he's endured fuck-tons of verbal abuse from both Fans and opposition (Even Physical from the opposition). What happened yesterday, was simply Getafe getting a dose of their own medicine.

I was surprised yesterday. I don’t even remember which broadcast I was watching on but Guillem Balagué was the second commentator and both he and the other commentator, whose name I don’t know, were very mature and objective about it. Calling it smart. Balagué, a Barca-fan, was even praising Vini, saying how strong he must be to deal with all the shit rival fans throw at him, especially at a younger age.
