So var is now, 'swings and roundabouts' ?

They even themselves out or some shite like that.

 

[Gray]

Penalty or not, the big question is how does Grannyshagger and Sturridge get gigs like this

Refer it to VAR.

 

[plattlanebenches]

Never a pen. Not enough to give that.

Jeez - why are we not allowed to see what's going on on the pitch? Pathetic coverage.

If it was against us you’d be fuming if it wasn’t given.

I have said for years now, Inter have been the best team after us for the last 3 years. No star player (maybe Martinez), but they are so organized and such a hard team to play against.

When everyone here was drooling over PsG and Barca, I said that Inter were better than both and the favourites to win it all. What a team!!

They looked a side that would be very difficult to beat at our place.

 

[GornikDaze]

That fat ugly failure gets some gigs.

She looks quite slim to me…

 

[footballmanager]

flicks kamikaze tactics are a terrible fit vs teams like inter. their games against atleti were also very difficult

either way there was a clear pen by acerbi 10 minutes before lautaro's

 

[cookster]

That's a good tackle since the birth of football. Without VAR it isn't a pen, only when you look at it forensically is it a pen.

Maybe in the 90s on a standard def TV. On a 4k UHD TV it was a clear pen ;)

 

[discopop]

Seedorf can probably speak four languages really well, Rooney and Sturridge struggle with the one.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Nah - great tackle.

They always rely on outscoring their opponents and it's worked for them so far, hopefully a cracking second half.

 

[super_city_si]

lol wenger on Bein. Actually did see something and is insistent it’s not a penalty even after 10 slow mo replays that show martinez had his foot swept and no contact on the ball. Dinosaur

 

[M Gaudino]

lol. WTF are you on about? he’s protecting the ball. If the defender thinks he can win it through his leg he’s an idiot. Foul anywhere on the pitch including in the box.

not for the history of my life up to about the age 35 when the rules changed and under the guise of ‘protecting players’ (which it doesnt) we decided to make football close to a contact free sport

 

[bridgeno1]

Barca's defending makes Tottenham's backline look competent.

 

[M Gaudino]

Didn't make contact with any of the ball

Did however make contact with Lautaro's boot which knocked that into the ball and made it look like the defender got a touch on it.

i would argue martinez engineers it by moving his foot towards the incoming tackle. but like what harry kane does to engineer a body check

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm could see it kicking off second half ..

 

[Chak19]

Nah - great tackle.

How can it be a great tackle when he got none of the ball ? you can argue Martinez was playing for it but you can't call that a great tackle or even a decent one.

 

[GornikDaze]

Hmmm could see it kicking off second half ..

It usually does ;)

 

[CumbriaCity]

Look at the state of the granny poker! Scruffy, fat twat. With a head that size he's a snipers dream

None of the ball?

 

[Kippax77]

Does anyone know what happend between Inigo Martinez and Acerbi after the penalty goal ?

How on earth can we at home witness anything after a goal is scored with the TV companies are too busy replaying the goal 40 times immediately after it goes in.
Then show it all over again at halftime.
