Champions League Final | Pre-Match Thread

[The blue phantom]

As others have said though, this is an issue with the ref himself. Not uefa, at least for me it is anyway

Fair do's, but I think it could work in our favour as someone else said :)

... and while copying the info from the official info, realized that they have THREE appointed VAR Assistants ... so four guys on VAR in total ... not sure if that will ensure Senor Lahoz not being able to get away with any goofy decisions or what are the cooking in that VAR room to have that many assistants alongside a VAR Ref?

Also as for the ref, does anyone know if his issues with Pep are anything to do with the Catalonia issue as Pep has been at the forefront of the politics of that and if Senor Lahoz is in the Madrid leaning/supporting Spanish camp then surely that's something UEFA *should* have considered? It's not just that Liverpool game or Monaco game for us that he has had issues with Pep but I recall him being mentioned as a controversial figure against Barcelona (and when Pep was there) in La Liga as well.

The one positive with the Napoli and Monaco games mentioned was that we won both of them.

Fuck sake, This **** will try and make it all about him. Expect some dodgy as fuck decisions and he wont even consult VAR. I believe he's ignored it in the past?

Oh shit ref is Lahoz !!!

This has cemented my decision to start drinking 2 hours before I intended too...so not all bad.

put one over the team that beat his team fairly or do the Barca / Catalan legend. He cant lose

An utter disgrace that this dodgy fucker has got the final. I won't be holding my breath for a treble.
