Wasn't a penalty or a yellow, anyone arguing against either has a screw loose or is a wum.

Pep tbf :)

But he's putting it on our team instead, which is fucking brilliant when you think of it. He saw us both fold & get cheated at Anfield last season. We will have to put up with this bent fucking shit against better opponents, if we want to win it.

If next season continues with this shite aided by v.a.r though, it will be my last as a season ticket holder.

Football can fuck off if the games are manipulated by faceless criminals.
 
Pitch ruined that, we couldn't move it quickly and you could see our players took extra touches, especially de Bruyne.
Rrally good win but we will need tighten uo
 
There is not a hope in hell Otamendi deliberately handled that ball, He's standing like a defender would, The player strikes the ball and Nico goes to put his arm behind his back. NO PEN

Second penalty was a shambles, Ferny did have his hands on the player, I can see why I would of given it but refs arent consistent in giving those decisions...But either way it shouldn't of stood. Two players going to attack the ball (BOTH IN OFFSIDE POSITIONS). NO PEN.

F*ck VAR, F*ck UEFA.

I'd fancy us to beat any team in Europe on our day, But not a hope will we win the is complete and utter farce of a competition with these officials.
It was a shot on target that was blocked by an arm so to me it’s a pen. If it was the other way we’d be screaming for one.
 
Don't think VAR and the decisions for the penalties were to blame for our predicament at 2-1. The implementation of VAR was a fucking shambles and needs improving drastically, however I see why both were given, though I see the controversy of the first.

I wish more posts on here were focused on the team's performance and fight back, or at least constructive criticism of those who under performed, rather than UEFA and the referee. We've been fucked over regularly by UEFA but I don't think tonight was one of them.

That being said, I think sane deserves a start on Sunday, as does zinchenko. David and Kevin aren't in good form (Silva was better today), I'd have gundoqn and Bernardo in midfield on Sunday with sane, sterling, and aguero up front based on the performances tonight.

The second pen was offside mate. A decision like that could be the difference between the teams.

I would have Vinny and Sané in the team for Sunday
 
1) It was ball to arm. - irrelevant, and debateable
2) VAR should only be used when there is a clear and obvious mistake. - there was, it hit arm, not body as ref first thought
3) The screen was fcuked, thus preventing the ref from reviewing his decision - maybe desirable, but not essential if studio review can be communicated to ref
4) The resulting yellow contributed unjustly towards a red - possibly, but he could have ended up with a straight red.

Any poster defending that is being contrary for the sake of it.

Sorry, just my opinion, not for sake of it, honest
 
MODS: Here’s hoping all the flappers who had us dead to rights losers in the Match day thread get a ban for the next Schalke Match Day thread! Some shocking comments from so-called fans on that thread!

I called 2-4 at 2-1 down, and almost...

When did so many “fans” turn into internet rags?
Agree. Name and shame the flappers...
 
Bit worried about KDB tonight I was hoping he was starting to find form again but he looked like he lacked match sharpness. Probably needs more time but we need the old Kev back asap

Was proud of the team tonight. We’ve been in that position before against Newcastle and Palace (penalties playing their part in all 3 cases) but tonight we showed our class.

I didn’t agree with the first pen or the yellow card. The BT pundits who have played the game all agreed that it wasn’t a penalty- even camel gob. Not sure about their resident referee saying that that he made a fist in preparation for the ball - he had milliseconds to react and he did all he could to move his arm out of the way

I hope opposing fans don’t visit our match thread. That was embarrassing
