im divided on this since i get ants view that players in the knockout stages and even group stages that may have been unjustly banned may have had an influence and helped their team progress

but missing out the final is a completely different matter, for some players his is a once in a lifetime opportunity and to miss it because of a referees mistake is a bigger disgrace

like i said its the lesser of two evils

The QF might have been a once in a lifetime opportunity for a player too though, in a club like Atleti where you might not get into the CL again during your time at the club, so it is totally out of the question whether the final or the 1st group game. Would you be feeling this way if it was Scholes or Giggs missing out, because they've been there and done it before twice?

Scholes has done it once.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

Bit rich after clutching at straws in the other thread. I was just pointing out that Scholes was banned for the 99 final along with Keano :)

I take your point on board about UEFA rules, but I don't think many can complain if both reds are rescinded and new rules are installed next season.

What? How's that a bit rich? I wasn't being petty. If you'd have given more than...........ah sheep it I'm not even bothering with you. Not even worth my time.

Install the rules next season, don't rescind the decisions this season, call it a lesson learnt.

"I don't have a good feeling," said ­Guardiola. "We will do tests tomorrow, but there is no way he will play this week."

"We will try to get him fit for Rome, that's all we can do. We will have to see what the tests reveal. We have suffered many injuries recently and we don't have a huge squad, but we have some huge players and they will step forward for the important games which lie ahead."

Andres Iniesta is confident he will be fit for the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United after tests revealed that his injury is not as serious as first thought.

The Blaugrana midfielder limped out of the 3-3 draw against Villarreal on Sunday and initial examinations saw club medics state that he could be a doubt for the showpiece encounter in Rome later this month.

But a new round of tests on Monday have confirmed that Iniesta has suffered only a "small tear" to the muscle in his right leg and that he will recover quickly.

"It is good news," Sport quote the player as stating as he passed reporters following a visit to the clinic.

It is an injury in the same place as the one that the playmaker suffered in November and sidelined him for two months, but this time the news is more positive.

Iniesta will miss the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday against Athletic Bilbao and Pep Guardiola will be cautious about how many appearances he makes before the end of the league season.

Barcelona already have Rafa Marquez and Gaby Milito out of the Champions League final on 27th May through injury, while Thierry Henry is facing a race to be fit and Eric Abidal and Dani Alves are suspended.
