Schalke post match thread

[Gorton_Tubster]

This bollocks they are talking on bt sport is just illogical. How can moving your arm away from the ball be intentional hand ball. Wtf

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Funny how when Neville hand balled in the area for Everton Walton gave no penalty. Different laws eh Peter

Everton is in Walton after all!

How are Schalke in the last 16?
Forget all the tomfuckery, tonight we are in a totally different class to them.
Not matter how bad things looked tonight i wasn't the least bit worried. It totally confused my missus, who couldn't understand why i wasn't steaming.
I even went as far a saying we would still win.
No matter how bad people here thought we played, i just thought we were in total control of the tie. We were rattled after the penalties, yes. But i think that was more annoyance at the decisions.
Even if it had stayed at 2-1, i felt we had more than enough to beat them at home. This isn't smugness, just confidence we would be alright.

Oh and people who say Bernardo is the new Silva are wrong. They way the ball sticks to his feet reminds me more of Messi...

 

[SWP's back]

You fucking clown. Hes being sarcastic.

All the warriors out tonight I see.

I’d best be careful.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Forget everything but monitor wasn’t working is a fucking lie and a pathetic excuse. This should be examined thoroughly.

Fuck me. BT commentary box gutted. Bring it on. Sane = Hero.

I thought the BT commentary was very pro-City.

We made hard work of it, but showed real character to come back in the face of adversity.

Brilliant work by Merlin for the first. Terrible decision for the first penalty. There was no way Nico could get his arm out of the way any more than he did. The second was a ridiculous foul by Dinho. Bloody stupid!

What a fantastic free-kick by Leroy for the equaliser. He has developed a wonderful technique. More of the same, please, Leroy.

Great work by both Ed and Raheem for the winner. The first assist by a goalie in the CL this season, apparently, and Raz showed great strength to hold off the Schalke defender and put it away.

Raheem MotM.

i have decided tonight that i no longer care for the in-game thoughts and opinions of martin keown

Thought that that Michael Owen & Hargreaves were shite commentators, feck me backwards, Keown has just emulated them!, What an utter C**t!! He spouts so much S***e its unbeliever a bubble

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Can you imagine that bullshit being given against Madrid or united ?

Never. Just never.

 

[Eaglechief]

The question is why do they hate us?

Arab oil money, financial doping, blah, blah, blah.

 

[Ban-jani]

Doesn’t matter. He still has his arm there in the first place making his body larger and stops it travelling at goal.

It’s fucking immaterial now as it’s happened and I’m not sure what cathartic experience is being had by calling everything and everyone bent. I thought it was a pen, I still think it’s a pen and I will always think it’s a pen.

In Fifa's Laws of the Game under Law 12, Fouls and Misconduct, it is stated that a free-kick or penalty is awarded if a player “handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)”.

It will be a pen next season but it isn’t one now.

They’re changing the rule and to be fair the current rule is stupid as how can the ref possibly know what is intentional?
