Porto (A) - CL | Post-Match Thread

Can't believe we turned down 20m from Wolves.
He must have hit the first man over 10 times.

It was 15 million but he would not go.

Job done but typical CL Officiating. Non penalty (we really need to appeal much louder and better) and how they only had 1 booking is laughable. Pathetic officiating as per usual, seems their manager moaning got to him.
But 1/2 a team out and job done, but going forward we still look poor and a new world class striker needed

Tonight like so many games this season are virtually attack v defence. This can’t be a new thing for City but whilst on the whole tonight’s game wasn’t bad on the whole it’s difficult to watch. Too many players are not effecting the games. Bernardo (better second half) Torres and Stirling. Oh for a Tevez or a Ya Ya in their pomp to grab the game.

What a pathetic team they are. Horrible cheating cunts.

Watch your arse on that fence. Say what you really mean. Lol

The thing was VAR got it correct ... unfortunately.

And it’s correct when a players toenail or armpit is offside. Either way it’s ruined the sport.

Dias, sterling , torres , referee all had bets on 0-0.

Solid defencivly again which is good to see, but such poor finishing again. Bernardos cross for Jesus's 'goal' was quality and further proof that right hand side of the front 3 is his best position. Thats where he played 2 seasons ago, but hardly ever plays there now.
Porto players were wankstains. Same as their manager.
Hope 4/5 youths get a run out final game.

Is Jack Grealish Spanish or Portuguese ?

Don't know what he is now but he used to be irish

Did it?

A subjective decision based on inaccurate technology, and well before the goal. Also, Rodder's didn't gain an advantage by being an ankle in front of the last defender, and he played the ball backwards.

The fact that the HUMAN generated lines showed him offside doesn't mean he actually was. The relatively slow frame rate (50fps) allows up to 13cm difference between the point the pass is actually struck and the moment the VAR official subjectively decides when they THINK the pass was made, and therefor open to error, or worse corruption.

He received the ball in an offside position.End of discussion.

Job done. Top of the group. Clean sheet. No injuries. Players rested

the ref was a fuckin disgrace

Depends if Foden has and soft tissue damage from the double twatting he got late on, and Fern also got raked.
