UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread QF ** spoilers ** [9th - 11th April 2024]

I don't understand people saying it's not penalty because it's a 'mistake', 99% of penalties are due to a mistake. Lets just stop giving them altogether eh

Because not all mistakes are equal... Most "mistakes" directly disadvantage a team. This literally doesn't disadvantage or advantage either team and a penalty is basically a goal.

So you are saying that an action that doesn't disadvantage a team in any way should result in a goal.

If an action breaks the laws of the game then it's irrelevant, 'break the law' you should get punished. What constitutes a penalty is already massively subjective depending on what referee you get, this just adds another layer of ******** into a game that has multiple layers of ********. Don't want to give a penalty away in that situation, don't deliberately handle the ball. Simples.

Should have been a penalty, yes it would be 'stupid,' but these people are paid £10,000s per week to not make the same stupid mistake schoolkids make.

 

[omnomnom]

These are professional footballers lmao. Had it been the under 13s on a Sunday then id understand it. Its a penalty

 

[Shamikebab]

I think the referee should be having action taken against him. Can't be making up his own rules just because he feels like it's a big occasion.

 

[Nate75]

Of course it's a penalty lol

 

[Purdy]

Kane should've been off, Bayern can't complain

Kane should've been off, Bayern can't complain

How so? 2 yellows? straight red? Didnt watch the game and obviously the main talking points on twitter are the saka dive and the handball - Kane has previous for being a dirty ********* so nothing would surprise me.

Ah, as i said he's a dirty **** house, amazes me how often he escapes red cards

 

[Nate75]

Officials don't like talking to him face to face as end up getting drooled on...

He was the one who perfected the foul that nearly broke defenders necks.

 

[robfosters]

Don’t know why Saka did that last night. He’d beaten Neuer, why go over when the goals right there for you. Foolish decision

Doesn’t surprise me. He does moonlight as a WWF wrestler

Anyone watching the obvious big game tonight?

Peterborough Utd vs Port Vale chat should be in the EFL thread

Interested to see Mbappe perform tbh.

 

[bsoltan]

Lamine Yamal (16 years and 272 days) and Pau Cubarsi (17 years and 79 days) are the two youngest players to start a Champions League quarter-final.

Very bold by Barcelona starting these two!

 

[manic111]

Not watched much of either of them this season, but Barca and PSG both look absolutely bobbins

 

[Nate75]

Would actually like Barca to win this one
