UEFA Champions League and Europa League Knockout Games **Spoilers**

How was that Lindelofs fault. AWB has him. He is AWBs man. AWB lost him and by lost him I mean he just stopped following him.

Goal scoring opportunity has nothing to do with it :confused:

You can quite literally be just inside the 18 yard box with your back towards goal and have someone go through the back of you and you'll be awarded a penalty.

Pogba conceded a penalty when he handled in the area and that wasn't goal scoring opportunity as it would have clattered into his face. The penalty correctly stood though.

Anyway this is the last I'll be engaging with you on the subject as it's clearly pointless with that gem. We've been awarded plenty of non penalties this season, such as the one against Villa and also the one against Copenhagen.

Of course its about goalscoring opportunities, if you go through the back of someone holding the ball up, then you are denying a goalscoring opportunity for the attacker to lay it off to someone to shoot.

Handballs in the penalty area are a penalty now, they changed the rules to take away some of the inconsistency.

Rashford shooting and missing the goal completely without anyone impeding him at all is not a penalty. The defender is going for a block, he's caught Rashford by accident, its not malicious, its a contact sport, its part and parcel of football.
 
Good stuff Ole. Need a goal so put on a headless chicken, a player with the pace of a geriatric snail and a defender.
