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

Worst thread in Bluemoon by a mile.
Best avoided like the plague

Its the alcohol bro ....

First penalty is wrong and an affront to VAR and also an affront to football aficionados everywhere.
Second penalty is sadly correct.

It's a game of two half's onward and upwards ...

 

[Breadsnapper]

First pen a maybe, maybe not. Second one stupid but what I find strange is the fact the ref is constantly talking to someone or being spoken to. Very odd.

What?? If it is handball it is a penalty... what’s your point?

You obviously don't understand the handball rule.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I wonder why they didn’t use VAR to look at encroachment, as half their team were in the box when he took the penalty.

 

[hihosilva]

Up until their dodgy penalty we totally dominated. No changes required yet.
I fancy us to get at least a couple second half.

First of all whoever the twat ex ref is on BT Sport is a prick. It was not a penalty. The 2nd one was a penalty.
We will smash these 2nd half and there are some right fair weather cnuts on here, I'd rather you fucked off.

 

[heslops barnet]

Their players are pretty dislikeable, it has to be said.

Fuckin Germans what do you expect?

 

[Newman Noggs]

Struggling a bit tonight. I'd like to see Sterling running at his defender more. KDB and Silva a bit ineffectual. I'd bring Leroy on, take off David and put Bernardo central.

 

[M12Blue]

Just seen why VAR in its current format won’t work. First definitely not a pen, second soft

What is really worrying me about VAR is not the penalty decisions but the way they went back to check on the build up to our goal, it was like they were just looking to find a reason to disallow it. Are they going to review every key decision and goal?
If so the game will have at leat 10 minutes of injury time.
