That whole sequence can sometimes put you off the game.

What a load of rubbish...

That was always going to be given with UEFAs rules, they're very consistent with giving those.

Yet missing the ball and punching a player in the head is ok, does make you wonder

They are. I didn't see the City game yesterday but if your arm is up and away from your body then it almost always results in a pen in the CL.

Didnt watch the City game, was it a blatant handball?

Yes. See above. He was crouching with his arm stuck out making himself a much larger silhouette and it struct it, clear as day. Nothing.

 

[Sparky]

Oh how was that not given?

 

[fez]

Oh how was that not given?

Because refs and VAR are consistently inconsistent.

 

[Sparky]

Need Odegaard on

 

[CliffyG]

Not sure what the point of Jesus coming on was.

 

[Sparky]

Not sure what the point of Jesus is fullstop these days

 

[Sparky]

Wanted by Newcastle apparently, cash in

You can't say that on the run up to Christmas...

Its ok he will make a comeback at Easter

 

[CliffyG]

Martinelli and Saka have put some awesome balls in. Need someone dominant in the box.

 

[Sparky]

That was unlucky

 

[eurokage]

Ref and assistants are clowns.

 

[Sparky]

Get Odegaard on for gods sake
