Schalke post match thread

[aguero93:20]

If Aguero hits that shot on Sunday and Luiz does the same as Otamendi, will you ask for a penalty?

I'd chance it after that tonight, but not with any degree of expectation.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

In real time, he had no chance.

They originally said, they were going to use 'real time' as the main guide.

Just like they said it would only be used for clear & obvious errors.

From the slow motion it looks a harsh decision. From the full speed it looks fucking ludicrous. Throw in the fact they were breaking their own rules by allowing anyone other than the on field ref to overturn the decision and I think we can conclude that VAR isn’t going to stop us being stitched up. As expected really.

I lost count of the number of times the ref gave advantage when one of our players had been taken out and then failed to book the offender when the move broke down

Of course.

Why not, when we never get them & others do ?

It would be a lucky one if we got it though.

If it was on the goal line & nobody behind but an empty net, I'd agree with a pen even if it's a complete accident, but on the whole, we don't get those either. Just like we don't get handballs above the head or Ashley Young etc etc.

But a bloke moving his hand away, wearing a City shirt, yeah, book the **** as well.

Are you allowed beer in your seat at the games now ?

If you're in England, no.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Well done, City ... to concede 2 penalties and a red card away from home in the CL knockout stages ... and win ... is quite a feat.

Am hoping this instills the belief that we could go all the way?

Exactly. Not a chance.

Pep agrees with you (interview on BT Sport, however I am not sure he actually saw the offences. I think he's just assuming VAR must have called it right).

I didn't think either were pens.

No.1 - Ota) He was pulling his arm out of the way. It's interpretation but VAR should only be used if it's a clear error and it is not clear.

No.2 - Fern) It's a foul, but those fouls are commonplace. Refs normally ignore them.

No. 3 - Ota Red). It's a foul but there was no force. It's not a yellow.

I think we started giving the ball away too often after a good start so I agree it was not a great performance, however the closing goals were nothing short of sensational. Not only the free-kick but the build-up to the free-kick. And then the pass by Ederson. I think commentators might think it was a hopeful punt but that was a wonderful pass.

Ederson is changing the concept of goalkeeping. You can not speak too highly of that pass.

Majestic pass by Eddie. Compare his passing with the so-called sweeper keeper at Liverpool.

Come back to me when we get a game where all those decisions go on our favour. VAR or no VAR.

Im not saying whos favour theyre going for. That was not a penalty & they certainly should bot have overturned the refs original decision

One for everyone in the audience.
