[Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

[Green Cross Code Man]

Bayern should probably demand a replay. Madrid are so incredibly boring and probably paid the linesman. The woman in the studio, don't know her name said that they have a magic wand. They are cheats there's no magic.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Awful from the lino but the ref was very good.

Well, no.

He blew for the offside instead of letting it play.

From BBC Sport Pat Nevin - don’t make sense of the below.

I think the linesman got that just about right. I'm not even sure the player he flagged offside was offside. I think they've got it wrong, De Ligt was offside but he wasn't the one that got the ball.

What a ****! What is he saying?

The flag was up.

I still can't get over those subs. If you were trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory you would have done exactly what Tuchel did.

And Harry Kane is so unlucky if he fell in a barrel of tits he'd come up sucking his thumb.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Villa going out of Europe tomorrow will be far more interesting. I hope they travel in numbers.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The flag was up.

Refs can let play continue.

Last seconds in semi

You let it play out.

Awful

What on earth was the lino doing flagging when it was that tight!??

What's the problem ? Makes perfect sense.

The player who was offside was the player who shouldn't have been flagged offside so the linesman didn't flag the correct player offside because he was flagging the wrong player offside.

I keep reading it thinking it’s me after sinking a few San Miguel’s

Same as the Prem league isn't it?

Big team attacking, allow play to carry on in case they score.
Smaller team attacking, flag immediately for any potential offside.

I've seen it at least 3 times this season. vs Spurs, Arsenal, City.

Weird thing about that decision. We're told it can't go to VAR because the ref had already whistled when the lino's flag went up. Yet a few seasons ago, Man Utd were awarded a penalty at the Amex by VAR after the ref had whistled for full-time. Make it make sense.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I’ve only seen the stills, but looks offside - not sure what the fuss is about?

You are most probably looking at the wrong player.

 

[Bold Seagull]

4 & 10 both look off.

All be it only 4s knee, unless it was 25 who was through?

The game had continued for a minute or so at City we then had a pen awarded against us. They make this shit up in the PL.

That's one of the few decisions of recent years that still annoys me. It shouldn't have even been a corner, it should have been a goal kick, and it happened during the time added on that was way more than it should have been. Absolute robbery and then for Man United to go on about showing "character".

I remember that. The ref played 4/5 minutes extra time when something like only 3 minutes was added on and there were NO stoppages in the first three minutes of added on time.
