Schalke post match thread

The match day thread was a joke.

Ederson is shite
Sterling is shite
Aguero can’t pass
Kdb is shite
Silva is shite
Gundogan is shite
Otamendi shouldn’t play for us again

And yet we won away in Germany with ten men and having two tough penalties against us.

Last 2 of league cup
Last 8 of fa cup
Fighting for the league
Huge chance of last 8 of the champions league

Amazing how well we are doing considering we have such a shite team.

Proud of the lads.

Pep agreeing with the decisions was actually his Spanish sarcasm coming out, he has had some harsh words to say about officials in the past and he is just keeping his powder dry.

As for Mr. bla de bla de bla Walton, has he actually played at the highest level like the three ex-pros who all said the first was not a penalty and the second would have been given offside by some officials. He is a prick of the highest order.
 
Bet that Schalke player who pushed Zinchenko shat it when ederson went steaming in. He's the last person I'd want running at me.

He could have said no comment but probably risked getting a fine for that alone.

Forever the diplomat but the body language suggested he was lying through his teeth especially the first one.

Fair enough if the arm goes away from the body but when its the opposite action and at that speed its not hand ball and not a booking.

Of course he was lying. He knows that if he told the truth he would be fined and or given a ban. He is absolutely fuming with those decisions

Or, since we won, he's just being sensible ??

Exactly. He’s probably learned from Liverpool last season where he was in the stands for the second leg and missed a further two games this campaign

For those of us thinking he was ok with those two decisions, trust me he wasn’t ! They were contentious as FUCK.

As I said to @SWP's back in the match thread, the actual decisions aside, the implementation of VAR (and the way it is functioning in practice), is farcical.

There was far too much confusion, delay, and opaqueness in the way the referee handled the incidents and the VAR “assistance”.

Many changes need to be made or it will continue to be maligned, and deservingly so.

Exactly.
 
My issue with the VAR was that the moment that the screen was unavailable at the side for the referee to view himself, then it shouldn’t have been used for review at all as it meant the referees interpretation was no longer final.

I don’t have that big an issue with the decision given how far the ball travelled. I’d have wanted a penalty if the same had happened for us, put it that way.

Hahaha.......Pep agrees with VAR and is a fan. Agrees with both pens and red card.

Pep out........for all you conspiracy nutters.

We won so it doesn’t matter By doing so they can’t draw him into anything that could get him in trouble he learnt from last season

Can someone tell me if VAR is only meant for clear and obvious mistakes? The fact they took 3 minutes to give the first penalty shows it wasn't clear and obvious.

I was also frustrated with their free kick for their 2nd penalty. Silva won the ball.

Clear and obvious is still in the vast majority of situations a matter of opinion.
VAR is a joke. I remember in the carabao cup final last season it was in then and every goal was reviewed. It dulls celebrations as you wait for permission to cheer your own team scoring a goal.
Couldnt care less if it gets more decisions right than a twat in black, its not something I want to see.
As delph would probably say, get on with the game

Not to play devils advocate but if the ref was against us and it’s all corrupt he’d have probably given a foul against sterling at the end ! I well thought it was going to VAR

Think ref was just shite. Be interesting to see if uefa fine themselves for var screen not working. They like throwing fines around
 
They weren't the worst mistakes going but performances tonight will turn people off VAR big time, if this is a sign for things to come. At least they didn't rule out Sterling's goal for a slight nudge on the defender(standing his ground) before his winning goal or that would have really added insult to injury.

Perhaps Peter Walton has just revealed the real reason studio refs have been introduced in the last few seasons... they are there to tow the line UEFA's officials. They clearly made mistakes tonight but Walton was just doing his best impression of a politician, good points raised by the studio panel for every decision, wordy textbook replies that don't really answer the questions posed, to avoid criticising the VAR decisions.
