I didn't finish work until 1am this morning so I didn't see the game Therefore don't care. ****s Anyway, easy homes
If it were the other way around ref would have blown for a pen immediately and VAR would've confirmed it..
Yes of course they would. ****ing bubble blowing babies. You got beat and it wasn't a pen. Off you pop.
It was whatever VAR decided, backed up with a purposefully ambiguous rule which means they can rule it either way. Let's be honest here, unless you rip your arm out of it's socket and throw it at the ball, your arm can be argues to be in a 'natural position'.
I agree that the rule and many other rules at the moment are a mess. As a football fan I would never want that given as handball as it was clearly accidental and did not prevent you from getting anything.
Back to last night's game ... decision I was quite surprised with was the Partey one in the first half ... I actually thought it was a pen but VAR ruled the Citeh player had committed a foul ... Partey didn't play the ball - he (deliberately) went over it and then the Citeh player kicked him in the act of shooting ... for me, Partey committed the first offence ... going over the ball like that had to be dangerous play ... plus there was no attempt to play the ball, which there has to be in a 'legal' tackle ... thoughts?
Definitely the most sellable - still got 3 years (I think) on his contract - and wouldn't be sold on the cheap ... we also have a couple of very promising youngsters that could come in to the first team picture in his position...
Don't think you can claim one for watching them lose on telly. Maybe ask them to contribute to your BT monthly fee.
shame really was hoping for a change from Man City winning title again …….peps got the best team in Europe though so no shock they might take title
They might go on to match United's treble at this rate. If they get past Real in the semis of the CL they have to be favourites, i'd fancy City over either of the Milan teams. United might be the only hope of stopping a City treble in the FA Cup final....might make for a juicy final!!
It will be interesting to see how his lot get on against Real Madrid, especially considering Giorna beat them a few days ago 4-2.
They're different fish in the CL, seem to be able to find a win regardless of form. City will want revenge though and could blow them away.
