Match Thread | Schalke 04 vs Man City (20/02/19)

[I'm Blue]

His arm shouldn’t be out sideways in the first place. He stops the wall going towards the goal so it’s a pen. Was far enough away.

His arm is 6-8 inches from his body, it’s not in the air, plus the fact he’s trying to get his hand out of the way. No way that’s a pen and definitely not a yellow card.

So Nic is suspended for the next match because he tried to get his arm out of the way of a shot but wasn't fast enough?

Seems fair.

Joke decision. Should never be a pen when the ball is just blasted at someone's arm especially when it's by his side.

If only his arm was by his side though, it was blatantly not by his side when the ball hit it, he was, however, moving it away from the ball and has been harshly treat but you are kidding yourself if you wouldn't have been wanting it the other way round.

Why


Are you taking the piss ?

I’m assuming you are. It was a fucking penalty. End of story.

Pep will be pissed with kdb

He will but no one was in position. Sterling was just getting to position. Bernardo wasn’t on the right or was also just getting up. Probably why he dwelt on the ball a little too long.

Number 18 for Schalke is in the refs face none stop. The ref is so weak.

VAR
absolute Fcuking joke.
Anyone who says UEFA don’t have an agenda is as deluded as a dipper.

We need to go on and actually put the Fcuking ball in the net. Don’t waste these chances.

Elbow to KDB face no punishment.

They were looking for a reason to disallow the goal.

Disgrace.

Some agree some don't - fair enough but isn't VAR supposed to stop all that and give a definitive answer?

 

[come-on-barney]

That Caligiuri is a moaning twat, isn't he?

How he is not booked a joke

 

[super_city_si]

I think we miss Bernardo in the middle.

 

[hello]

Looked a good shout for a pen to me that. I’d want one for us for that

Was a good shout yes, a clear and obvious mistake by the ref I can’t agree with
