Ref Watch

and it was about the number of consecutive bayern fouls, me thinks

I wish they would do this in the PL, as teams take turns to kick our players but always get away with it, as it's their first foul. When really they know exactly what they are doing, taking turns.

I don't think that helped Cancelo either - three fouls in 2-3 minutes, or coming down on Bernard's foot. It seemed reasonable on both grounds.

 

[Blue Budgie]

Still fuming over their penalty tbh. Thank fuck it wasn't crucial to the overall result.
Other than that I thought the ref was decent although ours are so shit that when we see a competent referee maybe they stand out more.

You’re going back 12-13 years?

Didn't you say it's always been the rule?

Thought he was very good, would happily have him against Madrid.

 

[SWP's back]

So anyone who gets a red card can go get a hotdog and soft drink and sit in with the fans; fair enough.

If they’re the manager, yes.

Well it has. IFAB laws say a player that’s sent off “must leave the vicinity of the pitch”, coaches must “leave the technical area”, they’re two different things.

Wenger was sent off in 2009:



I don’t remember the Pearce one to be honest but he left us in 2007 so it’s either always been the case (and that decision for him to not go in the stands was wrong - which is likely seeing as he’s thick as pig shit) - or that’s it’s been the case for at least 14-15 years, in which case the other poster should have probably noticed that managers don’t have to go to the dressing room in the intervening period.


More examples:

Conte last season:




Pep sent off:




Mourinho Sent Off:





So erm yeah, I’m quite surprised the fact he’s confused about TT not going into the dressing room.

 

[gazinho]

Thought he was good last night, although booking Ederson without (I didnt see anyway) a warning was harsh.

Both penalties probably were in the letter of the law, which we all know is bollocks. Having said that I was sure I read somewhere if a ball deflects off another body part ie Akanji's foot onto the arm it wasnt handball but I could be making that up

Nah - Ederson was stupid - he was warned and should have booted it when the ref was walking towards him.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Other than the the two penalty incidents (although that was more down to the law) he was decent.

Yes agree. Both pens were very harsh and should have shown a bit more common sense.
Thought he was strong and stood up to the Bayern players constant moaning and pressure.
