Why can`t we just accept that both were penalties ... as Pep says !!!!

Because they weren't.

If that second one was a penalty then smalling gives 4 away in every game he plays In

Absolute carnage in the away end when that third went in, my god I love this club

I don't think he was telling the whole truth. He also said weren't not ready to win the CL, I don't believe he thinks that either.

Stick your vitreous comments upmyour arse you vile creature.

Read back some of the shit you posted and then get to fuck you slimy twat.

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.

Exactly.

Big win in the circumstances but I thought we were poor, and for what it's worth the ref got the decisions right.

I think you are completely wrong. Two of the key decisions were nonsense and we still won. Which is a fantastic result and could not have been achieved if we were poor.

You seriously saying you wouldn’t shout pen if Aguero kicks it at Ramos, same distance, same contact in a CL semi?

Oh fucking course I would but it doesn’t mean it would be correct. I shout for a penalty if someone closes Ederson down. The fact remains it wasn’t even close to being deliberate handball, his hand is in a natural position and moves away from the ball, just not quick enough but considering the ball is twatted from 5 yards away that’s no real fuckin surprise is it.

As we saw tonight, VAR in its current incarnation is preposterous. As it stands, and this is where Peter Walton is so blatantly and willfully ignorant, only clear and obvious mistakes can be overruled.

In essence, whatever decision the ref makes for the two pens can't be overruled, because the error is not clear & obvious. So if the ref gave the pen against Nico, it shouldn't be overruled. There is an argument that the pen is valid ( a tenuous one, but there you go). Equally, if the ref doesn't give the pen, it can't be overruled. Same with the second pen. There was no role for VAR in either case.

What is really bizarre is that City's first goal was reviewed for a foul by Laporte. Incidents leading to goals apply only in the attacking phase. How can a defensive header in your own half be deemed part of the attacking phase?

VAR tonight was not used in the way it is intended. The only valid conclusion is that the VAR officials did not know what they were doing.

I guarantee you that the VAR officials knew exactly what they were doing hence the decisions
