On the BBC football website they have announced that FCMidtjylland are playing Liverpoo. They have seen the light last!
They were saying Monster Energy Dusseldorf beat Man Utd 3-1 last night In other words, even the BBC didn't think that was a penalty...
It's been like that for years ... players showboating is considered unsporting... utter bollocks imho. Ref was a ****ing moron ... should have book the opposition players for acting like spoilt twats
There is a point where it causes a genuine risk of safety - namely to the player taking the piss Case in point, a few years ago a similar thing happened in Brazil where the keeper misjudged the flight of the ball and left a striker with all the time in the world to score, so he jogged towards goal and scored a backheel right in front of the opposition supporters. As a result, he was soon substituted - not for being unsporting, but so he could be given strict instructions to get the hell out of the stadium and into the cab waiting outside before anyone got hold of him
100% agree with that. I wonder if just like with how bad VAR has been this season, (for all teams at some point) if those decisions are given with a stadium full of fans. Hopefully we'll find out soon.
Shakhtar Donetsk beat Real Madrid home and away, yet they went out because they had no players against A German Team. COVID suspensions meant that they lost to Monchengladbach 10-0 on aggregate and go out on head-to-head results. Very unfortunate.
Their goalie was wasting time in the last few minutes against Inter last night. They would have gone through if they had scored....but they didnt want to risk losing the Europa place?
Remember that season when Man City (as they were then) thought a draw would keep them up so wasted time - and then got relegated?
1 attempt on target for each team with 2 mins left...looking forward to Pep and the pundits complaining of the boring bus parking footie
