There was a foul on Bernie in the first half that was probably a booking where he didn't even give a foul....which is nothing in comparison to his previous performances against us, apart from that I can't call him but, he's still a twat (on previous showings)No comments tonight. Our fave had a quiet game…
He also gave a nothing-foul against us not long after the Bernie non-foul, blew the whistle bang on 45 minutes as we were threatening their area (despite 2 goals which should have been at least a minute of ET), and got in the way of our passing channels too many times for it to be a coincidence, but apart from that...There was a foul on Bernie in the first half that was probably a booking where he didn't even give a foul....which is nothing in comparison to his previous performances against us, apart from that I can't call him but, he's still a twat (on previous showings)
I've got a really radical solution take two blokes give them a flag each stand em on opposite sides of each half and if they believe a players offside when the balls played they put the flag up, the referee can then blow the whistle. Outlandish I know but it might just work and be a lot quicker.Here's a radical suggestion .................
Every soccer boot should have a coded microchip that records contact with the ball (there must be something electronic in the ball already - just needs a bit of tweaking). When the clowns are scratching their heads over lines horizontal and perpendicular they could correlate that with the exact microsecond the ball was passed to the player deemed to be in an offside position.
He couldn’t see the foul on Bernie unfortunately, he had a player blocking his view. Lino should have given it and helped him out.There was a foul on Bernie in the first half that was probably a booking where he didn't even give a foul....which is nothing in comparison to his previous performances against us, apart from that I can't call him but, he's still a twat (on previous showings)
Is his mate Atwell on VAR as well, cos that red card decision m was more than a jokeOliver warming up for Saturday with an awful performance in the Dortmund game
It will be very interesting to read what Pep really thinks about English refs, VAR and media once he is no longer managing in England (which hopefully is a long way off yet)Really happy to see Pep swerve shaking that slimy tw@t of a ref’s hand as well as make a well timed reminder we only win because we deserve to rather than being one of the ‘big’ teams with ‘istory’.
I really think Pep has developed an indelible bond with our club in the fact he really gets what we are up against more than any other manager we have ever had.
The ‘established’ clubs and their friends at UEFA, Premier League, PGMOL & the media thought they were set for life and then we came along. He has had a ringside seat to the totally subnormal behaviour of governing bodies, referees and the media towards us.
One day he will leave us but I truly believe both we as a club and his achievements while with us will hold a special place in his heart.
He’s a f*cking diamond.
It would be quicker for sure but we have plenty evidence that it works for some teams but not for others.I've got a really radical solution take two blokes give them a flag each stand em on opposite sides of each half and if they believe a players offside when the balls played they put the flag up, the referee can then blow the whistle.

Just seen some highlights. What did he see on the monitor to justify given the penalty having not given it in the first place. And was it really a red card, not in my book. Let's see how he refs us next time and see if gives this ludicrous decisions. Not holding my breath.Oliver warming up for Saturday with an awful performance in the Dortmund game
