Match Thread | Monaco vs. Manchester City (01/10/25)

What shite is this woman talking about on BT? This means city have now lost the last 4 champions league matches before tonight.

It's her script - with Lescott and Given nodding on

Some of you are deranged. Nico's shin meets Dier's face at head height. It's a foul and a penalty all day long and he's nobody to blame but himself.

Yet surprisingly no mark

 

[bluwes]

How is that clear and obvious

Cos it’s a foul in Europe, always has been.

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Have to agree with that, all of the changes made us a worse side

How? So it's the changes that screwed us and not the referee and shit decisions?

A high boot is always a foul in Europe. Do it in the penalty area it’s a penalty. We’ve known that for years. As do the players.

And yet the referee didn't deem it a penalty despite being able to see his foot that high?

If its a clear and obvious mistake then fair enough, but the referee wants his collar felt for missing such an obvious foul

I think the rule she is referring to is called “penalty to Liverpool”, it also applies for opposition playing one of their rivals.

 

[johnny crossan]

She said the last 4 away champions league games

quite - totally irrelevant smearing

Football is football, are the rules different in the champions league from the Premier league? If so tell me which rules are different?

Lescott is a fucking terrible pundit.

It’s mostly the ref, however you are asking for trouble when Rodri comes off for Gonzalez.

Haaland a bit of a twat in this interview

Haaland a bit of a twat in this interview

What did he say.

 

[colbee59]

4 past them last time, 8 first team players missing according to TNT, second half walking about as though we'd already won it

 

[Macca77macca]

What did he say.

They played shit, that if you kick someone in the face its a penalty, just trying to be..no idea what he is trying to be but it doesn’t suit him

Seems if you throw yourself to the floor holding your face as Dier did you will get the penalty. He did not need to do that, but this is the cheating game these days.

Monaco clearly have instilled a cheating mentality. Numerous times players touched near the face threw themselves to the floor.

 

[johnny crossan]

What did he say.

Very little, he just corrected the interviewer about what constitutes involvement in the game and said we lacked energy in the second half.

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

It’s mostly the ref, however you are asking for trouble when Rodri comes off for Gonzalez.

Rodri is not fully fit, and to be fair wasn't having the best of games

How long have you been watching European football. A high boot has always been a foul in Europe.

 

[bluwes]

Haaland a bit of a twat in this interview

Say what you see, that’s all. We were lazy and if you kick someone in the head it’s a foul.

 

[bluwes]

They played shit, that if you kick someone in the face its a penalty, just trying to be..no idea what he is trying to be but it doesn’t suit him

What did you want him to say.?
