Match Thread | FC Copenhagen vs Man City (11/10/22)

Oh dear, complete opposite of what we needed before Sunday. Contrived to make it much harder for ourselves than it needed to be. Committing a foul like Gomez did, in the VAR era, is doubly stupid. Let the guy go and he'll likely miss anyway, the ball was heading away from him & he likely wouldn't have reached it which makes Sergio's decision even worse.

Gomez is so fucking stupid, back your keeper and if we go 1-0 down, we can come back

Im saying fuck all ha

 

[Blue and true]

Just a shambles from the ref and VAR.

Can't be too harsh on Gomez, he's been put in a bad position there.

Eddie needs to wake up.

How is it a shambles? Every decision was correct. The disallowed goal is farcical but by the letter of the law it was correct. That half was on us, Pep needs to give them a rocket.

Just seen Mahrez’s pen, wasn’t a shocker but he makes it so obvious which way he’s going

He missed a title winning penalty, but apparently that isn't enough to put him down the pecking order.

 

[blue whippet]

Well what a farce of a half. Gomez was an idiot, can't believe the ref didn't see it first time. The hand balls show the stupidity of the handball rule.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Is the handball rule for goals different in the champs league to the prem league?

These are the current rules used in the CL.

Apparently VAR and the referee deemed Mahrez’s handball “intentional”.

The game is gone if that was intentional.

Bernardo and Haaland for Gundo and Álvarez please Pep.

 

[wattle]

Love it!

Lovely height for the keeper, too.

Yep, lesson there….

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

It's ruled out if it hits the goalscorers hand, intentional or not. Last year it was the assister as well but that's changed this season.

And yet many posters saying otherwise for this competition.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is the handball rule for goals different in the champs league to the prem league?

Yes. Only the scorer handling it immediately before scoring rules a goal out in the PL, any handball from the attacking team in the build up to a goal rules the goal out in the CL.

 

[LongsightM13]

Biggest danger to us is ourselves with sloppy play, the sending off was from a poor decision from Rodri.
Still controlling the game but are showng nothing up front atm and it would help if we could take a set piece that beats the first man or not passed to the keeper

Absolutely this. You can sniff when we turn up half arsed within a few minutes, this was one of them
So much for getting a rest ahead of Sunday

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Put Bernardo on and we're back to 11 v 11.

You know what? That is a stroke of fucking genius. The Duracell Bunny.
You are Pep lurking on BM and I claim my five pounds.

 

[malg]

Well, just went onto the BBC to look at the line up for tonight and fuck me if it isn't half time. Don't really follow the CL games, so missed the early kick off. I see we've made a lot of changes, Mahrez has missed a pen and were down to 10 men. Fucking gutted I wasn't on here, I bet there was a full nuclear meltdown when Mahrez missed the pen!!

 

[Andouble]

we'll still win this

In all honesty I don't even think the ref's know the rules anymore

 

[sir baconface]

Mahrez is already off lol

Never mind that.Take him off again.

The daft fucker was having a mare anyway.
