That's something I understand, but if there weren't any english team?

Then I'm not really arsed. Suppose I'd rather an underdog like Ajax, Roma or Porto win it than one of the favorites.

Genuinely don’t know what a player is supposed to do anymore when jumping to block a shot. That is never a penalty in a million and one years and if you’re saying it is you need to have a long look in the mirror and have a word with yourself.

Lol.

 

I'm no Man Utd fan but must admit the night they came back to beat Bayern to win it in '99 was awesome and I wouldn't mind them winning it again

I think the thing that swayed the referees decision was that he was watching the ball when it was struck, there's a split second, and then he turns, so he knew where the ball was going, regardless of wether his back was to it

 

I can see why it was given tbh, if he was facing forward it would have been a nailed on penalty, and he was until the last possible millisecond

I think what swayed it was the defender was watching the ball till the last second so he kinda knew he was blocking the shot with his arm

Owen Hargreaves suggested that "they should get football people on the panel". 

 

What's a referee, then? A rugby person? 

 

:blink:

judging by most the decisions we see every week most refs don’t have enough of a fu cking brain to even register as a person at all

Yes I think you’re probably right. But apart from jump, literally with his hands bolted to his side, there’s nothing else he can do there.

PSG are frauds, United are down to the barebones and threw it away. Absolutely no resolve in that side

They don’t have the pedigree to be a top European side for me. Far too manufactured.

Not a fan of United but even I was pleased to see them progress, decent bottle from Rashford.

 

Personaly don't think it should be a penalty, but after they gave it against Otamendi they've at least been consistent.

 

Also Neymar's attire made it even sweeter.

Come off it, if they went and signed Messi and Ronaldo they would win the champions league.

 

Their current side are absolute bottlejobs, no doubt about it.

I agree but that has no bearing on the pitch, this group of players can't hack the slightest bit of pressure - at least chucking a 5-0 aggregate lead at Barca is against one of the best sides in European history. This was a United side with 10 players out and 2 teenagers on the pitch

 

 

 

 

 

Real are proper ****ed, can see them going daft to try and bring Neymar in and I reckon he'd go

That’s like saying if your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle. 

 

They havent so they won’t. I think if we signed Messi and Ronaldo we’d probably win the champions league lol
