Scum manager not shaking klopps hand.

 

[Purdy]

Delightful

 

[Andybtsn]

I know he’s not the greatest at pens but Messi could have so many more goals if he wasn’t so unselfish.

 

[Azza]

I'm sure Klopp will be very vocal about that not being a red card just like he was with Mane's attack on Ederson.

Salty salty tears

Good 3 points, were now 5 points clear of 2nd and 3rd with milan losing to Porto, win the next and we can take it very easy for the final 2 group games

I think that's what you call a bit of a mad one. Other than the 10 minutes after the red card when he gave Atletico everything, you've got to admire the set of *******s this ref has to stand up to the pressure he was being put under. Absolutely every decision there was 5 Atletico players in his face, trying to pressure him but he stood up to it and made some very big calls. The red was clear, especially in Europe, as was our penalty. Their overturned penalty was so Atletico, all their player was trying to do was make contact with Jota and throw himself to the ground and I really didn't think the ref had the stones to overturn that so credit to him.

I'm not sure if I hate Atletico or love them. When you're playing against them they're the worst of the worst but you've got to admire they way they give 100% and do whatever it takes to get a result for their side. If we had 1% of the ****housness that they do, we'd be a much better side.

We've scored 3 or more goals in each of our 7 away games this season, 8 if you include our last away game of last season. That's bonkers.

3-0 forfeit win to keep the run going

If it is we should be awarded the 3 points this time.

 

[C Kent]

We all know that will never happen

 

[BaZ87]

Why do BT continue employ Peter Walton? All he ever does is agree with whatever the decision the ref has made, even making himself look stupid when VAR then changes the decision.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Hearing Walton talk about their first goal it's very clear we need former players refereeing games and not teachers, policemen or bin men. They have no understanding of football in the real world, only football described on text.

Edit: Well in Lescott

[C Kent]

Walton's a parody, just like Gallagher on sky's ref watch. Constantly tying themselves in knots to agree with on field refs decisions

 

[omnomnom]

I'm sure Klopp will be very vocal about that not being a red card just like he was with Mane's attack on Ederson.

"We never appealed the red card, only the length of the suspension. But actually I never thought [a reduction in the ban] would happen, only because I am used to things like this."

This vocal?

All you're hearing is Walton try to explain why the ref was right, as he does every time he's asked for his opinion. He even acknowledges that Lemar is offside if he's deemed to have impacted Matip's attempt to play the ball, he's just trying to argue that it was too subjective. I'm not sure how anybody could argue that Lemar, stood right on top of Matip hasn't prevented him from playing the ball. 9 times out of 10 that will be given offside and Walton will be sat there saying it was the correct decision again.

I am interested to see the response tonight. These are two big CL games for UTD.

 

[BaZ87]

I just realised Leicester are playing now I get the kick off time because they're playing in Russia but why today?
