Also, conspiracy time, the ****ing bell sniffer on VAR is a Liverpool fan, ensuring we're without our best CB for the next match against, checks notes, Liverpool
And? You make it sound like him sending off one of your centre backs just before you play a title rival that he just happens to support is a bad thing? Lol
It was a red though. Last man and dafuq is Ben White getting over. He is 12 yards away. ****ing Usain Bolt would have struggled to get over and in to a position to tackle in that time.
Chelsea had one quite similar yesterday but Colwill(?) was close enough to save Tosin from a red. Very similar situations, but the proximity of the extra defender is what saved Chelsea.
I am still stumped by the over turned second Pool penalty. Sanchez might "get the ball" but he plays it straight back onto Curtis Jones, probably cos he is half a yard in front of him. Jones then megs him, probably unintentionally, and is cleaned. Surely that's a penalty? Gets the ball, loses the ball, cleans the man = penalty. Surely? What am I missing?
If it happened in the centre circle it would be a free kick all day long, so why isn't it a penalty?
I'm not moaning cos I want my team to get a penalty every time one of them falls over, I genuinely don't know why it wasn't given. The "he gets the ball" explanation doesn't make any sense to me.
@Cazza what's happened to WH? Lopetegi (spelling) out?
Ohh and much as it pains me to say it, I thought the City goal was fine. Silva isn't in his eye line and does try to get out of the way. The one Wolves had disallowed last season was slightly different and a ****ing piss poor decision. City do get a ridiculous number of soft calls, but that wasn't one for me. It was just annoying that it happened in stoppage time.
