too easy mate, too easy.

The whole yellow card thing was hilarious though.

it was a coin toss between that and "Dunkirk 1940"

Villa got through v Lille on pens in Euro Conference.
Martinez saved two pens.
Emi got second yellow in shootout but in little known rule - yellows are wiped at end of 120 minutes!!
Even Martinez who was winding up Lille crowd was surprised he wasn't sent off.
Paul Dempsey (commentator) didn't know either and couldn't figure out what was happening.

Anyone ever see or hear of this before??!

Turkey v Greece = never for faint hearted.

Olympiacos won on pens in Istanbul.
Young Greek(?) keeper saved 3 pens.

Almost totally silent crowd as Athenians celebrated.

Olympiacos missed two pens themselves-
Earlier one hit bar bounced down on line and Fenerbache keeper managed to turnaround and grab it before it went over the line! Guy thought he had won shootout for Olympiacos before realising he missed

EDIT:
Missed most of Villa match but they were lucky. Lille blew it after leading 2-0 in last few minutes. Delighted for Villa.
