Ref Watch

[BringBackSwales]

Wasn't a pen and Eddy was lucky (probably would have been yellow as there was cover). Mad that we benefited from shite Champions League officiating

Yes it was a pen, handball in the area, hands above his head in unnatural position , that’s a clear on todays rules. Admittedly not as much a pen as the one not given in injury time at their place, but still a pen (albeit not deliberate handball, but that ain’t the rule)

Edit just watching the highlights and what was harsh was the yellow card, given it didn’t look deliberate

Edit edit just watched the slow motion and it is very harsh

Why did the ref award the free kick to us from the Eddy incident… thought at the time it was a red, seen one replay and seen nothing to convince me otherwise

Baffled at why the ref gave us a free kick

I can only think that he stopped the game to book Werner for dissent. Definitely a foul and a booking but wasn’t a goalscoring opportunity as the player was a mile away from the goal and heading towards the corner flag

The amount of shit champs league decisions we have had we only need another half dozen referee decisions like last night to even it up!

Not to mention Stones or Grealish (can’t remember which just now) was literally shoulder to shoulder with him when Eddie made contact.

I do agree Eddie was fortunate not to get booked and give away a dangerous free kick.

It was definitely a case of BorEd looking for something to do.

Thought he was too lenient with us last night.

Never a penalty. Not the referees fault but VAR, I'd have been fuming if that went against us.

And Ederson should have been booked and a free kick given, not sure how he missed that.

Ref makes the decision having looked at the incident on the monitor

True, I forgot he went over, just as bad then.

Harsh penalty to be honest, but that was owed to us from the 1st leg.

That rugby tackle from Eddy, baffles me how VAR missed that. Reminded me of how Eddy "got away with one" against Dortmund.

On the whole, teams in the Champions League seem to want to play football and make it easier for the ref. Premier League is stop/start. Too much "gamesmanship" going on.

Looking back at it at first I thought rodri headed it onto his out stretched arm but I'm just wondering if var thought it hit his outstretched arm before the header

Won't be getting those decisions if we play Bayern or Real Madrid
