A colourful game

An exciting match at Gerland last night, with Les Gones having to come back from 2-0 down for the second time in a row. Another controversial comeback, with the goal to make it 2-1 being scored while there was a Fiorentina player lying injured in the area. Up to the ref to stop the game though, and he didn't, even if the player was eventually carted away on a stretcher. And this time OL couldn't squeeze out a winner.

It was un match halucinant, as the French might say. And with OL wearing their garish, new, fluorescent yellow away strip, Fiorentina in bright purple and les arbitres in luminescent orange, halucinogenic seems an apt word. Hard on the eyes. It was a bit like watching football on acid. I'd imagine...
