BlueSi13 Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Another huge failure for Pep and Manchester City in the Champions League. No wonder their fans can't stand it.
Kitchandro Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 That is mental. To be fair, offside is probably the only thing VAR should be used for, you can’t argue with that decision. However, the amount of time it took to make the decision leaves a bitter taste in the mouth because, as a football fan, you basically can’t let loose and celebrate a euphoric moment anymore; there’s always a chance it will be ruled out 2 minutes later. They should be able to get the message across that it’s offside almost instantaneously, certainly much, much quicker than that because it was obvious and football fans do not deserve to have the wool essentially pulled over their eyes. Celebrating a goal is not what it was and that’s tragic.

AjcW Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Ughh, was hoping to come in here and see the majority spaffing over one of the greatest games of football ever not a load of moaning!! The Spurs goal would have been given without VAR and was given with because in the refs eyes he didn’t move his arm... what’s the issue? At the end of the day the ref is there to make decisions, he made one without VAR and stuck to it when he watched it back.

That sir..is what is all about.not the other poor boys,nights being ruined because their dislike for another club or clubs take priority.... Brilliant game,brilliant controversy...Brilliant talking points.....Best CL quarters,for years!!! Few had spurs on their list....I did.!!!! now the game on Saturday...Spurs to ruin MCs PL title as well!!!
TheUltimateWinner Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 FairPlay Spurs gotta hand it to you there. VAR is gonna **** with the psychological aspect of the game. Imagine going from elation to dismay in a matter of seconds. How do you bounce back in a game like that?

This VAR is a slippery slope, believe me.

fazzyfox Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 These pundits literally can't tell their a**e from their elbow!

It can produce negative football too. Works both ways. Of course and many tried it. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not. But in my opinion, taking away the away goal would actively encourage the bus parking, while the incentive of nicking an away goal, which could be crucial in the second leg, would still appeal to a lot of teams. A kind of high-risk high-reward.

You can celebrate twice...or cry twice....They should put up the prices,double enjoyment of emptiness and empathy for the price of one ticket!!!

Danizen Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 That was as good as the Man U-Real Madrid game in 2003. An absolute classic.
UniFox21 Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 This is ridiculous; like we could have an impartial player on there otherwise it's literally just a Liverpool love in
Vacamion Posted 17 April 2019 Posted 17 April 2019 Worse than Spurs winning the Champs League would be Liverpool winning a League and Champs league double. Any right thinking fans are all Ajax, now.
