Champions League Final Thread

No; "handball" has to be intentional for it to be given. Hence, if the ball is blasted point blank at a defender in the box, penalties are generally (though not always) not given. No way was that intentional. He fucked up the header, and headed it onto his forearm.

And yet no referee ever makes the decision based on that definition as watching any weekend of football would tell you.

That should be a goal; it wasn't intentional.

Phil Dowd disagrees

I want Juve to win as much as the next man but intentional handball.. Get a grip

Vidal and Lihschti are awful. Our Vidal and George EVans would offer Juve some and could have more impact on the game

Great fucking call.

It came off his hand and it directed it into the goal.

Exactly.
Controlling the ball with your hand is one thing but

ok so if a player goes to head a ball, misses it with his head but it drops onto his hand and goes in - is that ok?

Pirlo has been utter wank, liability all game.

His set pieces have been dire.

That lad Didier Pogba looks decent.

Called that sub after 19 minutes. Watch an exposed midfield, unless they do it because of Xavi, who's not the most mobile either.

As long as it remain 2-1 then you never know but Barcelona is now dominating
