[Football] UEFA CL March 5/6 knockout stages.

[LamieRobertson]

We are going to give away so many penalties next season if we stay up the way Duffy and Dunk block the ball

I've not seen them block the ball with their arm/hands ....well at home .....yet

 

[Quinney]

I just hope we get some consistency when it comes to these sort of decisions. Similar to pulling and holding at corners, refs need to either give every one or none at all.

I think it's brilliant. Detest everything that PSG represent. Always great also to see academy players break through and represent their childhood clubs. We all know what it means to Dunky and I thought it was great to see Rashford bang in that penalty under pressure for his childhood club.

ABU, frankly, as far as I am concerned. The ref deserves a lot of credit for getting MUFC over the line. Wouldn't have made it without him.

Possibly, but to be in the position of only 1 goal behind, given a 2-0 deficit in the first leg and lord knows how many injuries to 1st team players...that's a pretty decent achievement for any team.

If it was Liverpool people would be lauding them as unlucky heroes.

Rio, Owen and Owen all adamant it wasn't, but I was with Peter Walton on this one. How do you not give that on review? He turns his back on the ball, his arm comes out, is then high, and possibly stops a goal. Not sure it was as clear as the pundits were making out.

I hate PSG. The absolute worst of modern football epitomised by one team. You could trawl the entire planet and you’ll never find another bunch who manage to pack so much cheating, diving, time wasting, injury feigning, cynical fouling and all round unpleasantness into every performance. What did Neymar look like standing on the touchline in a leather jacket and gold earrings? What was Marquinhos doing throwing himself to the floor in the last minute despite clearly committing the foul himself? Absolute shower of twats. Seeing them choke in the knockout stages gets more pleasurable every year.

F*****g Bravo. Take a bow.

This ..... very, very much this.

Also bringing on a 17 year old academy player with 5 mins to go.

That’s a silly thing to say.

An English team puts in a performance like that and you start blaming the ref?

Buffon is some sort of Champions League jinx it seems.

Me and a Liverpool supporting fella at work were discussing ManUre a couple of weeks ago. We both agreed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not a decent manager and ManUre's turnaround was largely due to getting the ever weirder Jose out. We both hoped they'd give him the job before it turned to shite and we could have a chuckle.

I'm not so sure now.

Fair play, they were in ait at the end. 2 terrible mistakes from PSG. And an assist from the ref.

Agreed, but didn’t Lineker make himself look a prick when he said defenders should “jockey” with their arms behind their back. Tried to pass it off as a joke when he realised how stupid the suggestion was.

My view is that without VAR no one would have given the penalty (except The Complete And Utter Shyster), but under the VAR system and rules explanations everyone would have given it (except The Complete And Utter Shyster)

Once he was called to review it by the VAR chaps, there was no way the ref was not going to give a penalty. It's not his fault, really.

 

[Paris]

Porto seemingly through with an extra time VAR pen.

Yeah agree, you're never giving that in real time, and you are never not giving it on review. In the refs shoes, how does he not give that based on the evidence and the rules?

I didn't think it was a penalty until I saw the replay. The ref had to give it as it was hand ball. So no, it wasn't his fault.
