1. Bottles an obvious 2nd yellow for Casemiro. 2. 5 minutes later gives Vidal a 2nd yellow for a challenge in which he clearly won the ball
is there ever a year in this competition that one or both of the 2 big Spanish clubs don't get a controversial decision go in their favour at a vital time?

A ridiculous red card and an offside goal look like sending Real through. But hey, using TV to get it right would ruin football, eh @chizz?
Didn't see it. What happened?
Vidal made a really good tackle. Ref bizarrely gave him a second yellow. Then Ronald scored despite being two yards offside when the cross was played. They've now scored three goals since the red card!

Given a choice between improved refereeing and changing football into a stop-start contest judged by administrators monitoring monitors, I'd go for better refs.

As would we all! But refs are doing the very best they can. We've pushed them to their limit. I believe they're honest guys surrounded by rampant cheating.
So given the choice between working on coming up with a system that doesn't create a stop-start game but does help referees, I'd go for the former.
Bayern scored a penalty and a lucky own goal. Real Madrid clearly better team despite the dodgy decisions.
Yeah how dare they score a penalty? And did the ref forget about the new UEFA rule that own goals don't count?
Ok. You win. Real Madrid are shit. Ronaldo is shit. All the chances I saw Madrid create were a figment of my imagination. Only reason Real Madrid get to the semi finals every year is corrupt officiating.

Not quite what I said.
In reality, Bayern should've never been awarded a penalty. I think it was pretty clear that Robben dived. I just hate games that are decided by the officials mistakes.

Absolutely. It's just that I haven't seen a sensible, workable solution described that wouldn't cause the game to be stopped unacceptably frequently.
Comments
Ah - guess you are referring to a bit of aggro from the Bayern fans in the stand. Did show that briefly but hardly the scenes of last week.
Video replays please.

He can't help the refs decisions, but 5 goals in a Champions League quarter final is incredible.
