Schalke post match thread

Second yellow wasn't correct, it was a nothing challenge and contact.

Agreed. Other than that his post was spot on.

Late to the party.

Great result, we move on.

Night night.

In the FAC (which is a farce as its only a few games) and LC yes, but not in the CL, and therein lies the whole farce of it, lets have one version of VAR in football, and one that is utterly transparent to those at the game (and watching on TV).

That’s a big ask.. uefa don’t understand the concept of transparency. They are a corrupt, shady deals organisation that conducts its business behind closed doors, employing and dealing with a whole range of dodgy characters - like FIFA, UEFA is rotten to the core - there’s zero chance of them making a positive fist of VAR - it will almost certainly reflect their corrupt culture.

They’re arguing about the one on Saturday night not given.

Who?
Wot?
Oh alright apologies, I'm pissed.

What about missiles being chucked at our players ? Imagine if that had city fans throwing stuff.

Hi mate. Don't seem to see much of you on here these days.
Nice to see you again

Yep,same here, where you been? Not been the same without you.

According to Walton & against what the v.a r. lovers are saying on here, handball has to be deliberate.

He is sure Otamendi, deliberately handled the ball.

But he also says he "tried to pull his arm away at the last minute" .

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

I like Pep's attitude.

He's just putting the lot on our players, no excuses. And he's right of course.

The shot goes in it's KDB's fault for pathetic play, rather than the bent box. Otamebdi's 2nd yellow was pathetic.

He's right to push that at the players.

But even so, we would have won it easily without those twats getting involved & better teams will get better chances to cash in.

Attaching foul was checked and cleared.

Generally agree but would add that he was forced to make changes as well after Otto got sent off but the changes he made were the right ones
Fern at centre half has worked before and was working early on as it gave us great mobility but it didn't work ultimately because he was caught out for the 2nd pen and held his man back or so it seemed to the ref.

If we’ve got Vinny available, we don’t really need Fern in defence.
