The excuses keep coming from Stamford Bridge: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-off-colour-display-against-manchester-united
All of us do drugs, it used to be a spliff, acid and coke, nowadays its a bit of spliff, statins and Viagra. That's getting old.
Not sure what the problem is with this. Anything like this is a genuine problem rather than "excuses". I have never understood why an industry such as sport, encourages so many handshakes, which is recognised as the most unhealthy way of greetings.
Well done to Leicester. I didn't think they would get this far but they managed to equal our first season in the Champions League
I have never been a substance user. Nor have I had the "benefit" of a sport career ( "professional" or otherwise) .
Ronaldo scores another. Offside? Probably and then Bayern implode under the weight of dodgy decisions. 4 - 2.
So the way it works it seems is that the "greatest" club competition in the world is decided by the refs rather than the teams on the field. Bit like the rest of football then. You spend the whole season trying to get into the thing, maybe several matches in it, and then the ref ****s you over. But that's football all the pundits cry. But it shouldn't be! What happened to getting the right result? When will they learn that the senior referee needs to be off the field, with the video tech, so that he can overrule the guy on the field when there's a clear mistake (if not clear then he doesn't say anything!) So it's subjective. Yes it is, but far less so than just relying on the guy on the field. And it might take a few seconds longer? Possibly, but apparently it's ok to watch teams wasting several minutes feigning injury, complaining or otherwise cheating. There's plenty of wasted time in a match but apparently a few seconds to get the right decision in a really important match is not possible.
