[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He was poor tonight.

Grealish got clattered 5 or 6 times by the same player and he did fuck all.

Also needed VAR for the Gomez sending off when EVERYONE else in the stadium saw it.

Shocking. Clearly doesn’t understand the handball rules. In Both cases it wasn’t deliberate and the body shapes were natural. The worst though was allowing foul after foul without punishment. Jack will be black and blue.

To be clear, the referee deemed Mahrez’s handball “intentional” to disallow Rodri’s goal, as unintentional handballs in the build up of a goal are no longer considered an offence. This was confirmed by the Paramount+ IFAB certified official they use as a rules expert during the halftime analysis show.

These are the current rules being used in the CL.

What is going on with Grealish in the Champions League, Teams are looking to kick the shit out of him
last season and this season, Jack is getting smashed and the officials doing nothing,

for me, It's for the reaction in hoping he kicks out and gets sent off, the officials offer no protection and even dare i say want him to smash somebody and an easy sending off. Much like the Beckham in the world cup fouled and kicked but kicks out and sent off,

Also, when you jump for a header and challenged, how can anybody say he deliberately uses his arm/hand to control the ball ?? Clueless or bent, I am picking bent

How could it be intentional? He was expecting the defender to get the ball and was caught when he didn't. If you look at the replays, he wasn't even looking at the ball when it hit his hand.
Ridiculous decision from the ref. Poor all night.
No issues with the sending off, but it killed the game. And the ref missed that too.

He's usually the expert on all things VAR.

I think it is farcical that it was ruled intentional (I also think the decision to award us the penalty was ridiculous).

I was just trying to correct some misunderstandings of the current rules that were circulating in the match thread. Some were saying unintentional handballs in the build up could lead to goals being disallowed, which is incorrect.
