2 penalties.

2 clear as day holding offences.

Zero consistency.

I disagree. Not enough for a pen. It’s football, not netball.

We are in the 'Bullshit' society !

Disagree he is good, been great for utd but he does seem way overrated.

It's an excuse to waive away shite decision making.

It just had its big chance to make an argument for it's credibility & shat itself.

Now normally sane people are arguing shite decisons are correct just for the sake of argument.

No it's not, it's an antidote to the game being too fast for one referee to rule in real time and a safeguard against referees with ulterior motives. You've decided you don't like it though so you can't see it and it's better to have the 'I didn't see it clearly' and 'I couldn't be sure' school of refereeing.

BBC are being a bit partisan aren't they.

Strangely quiet on the VAR non-penalty decision in ET.

I didn’t think it was a pen as both holding each other @Neville Kneville thinks it was as the defender held him first, to me that’s irrelevant as both players put hands on each other before ball is played in so where do you draw the line.
What it’s shown is if this forum are split 50/50 then they have to go with the original decision imo.

Fucking hell mate, give it a rest.

Salah couldn’t be there as he was home even earlier than Ramos ffs.

Fucking hell mate, give it a rest.

Bet you it doesn’t happen.

Any money you like.

I think you meant to state that it cannot happen.

Regardless, the idea by @manimanc was amusing.

Harsh, City have had a lot of games like that over the last few years and still do.
It can be hard to break down deep lying defences like that.

 

[SWP's back]

I bet you any money you like you haven't thought it through what I posted..
Go on.
I double dare you.

Oh I did, a somewhat reverse of ‘66 but seeing as Russia would play us in the semi...

 

[SWP's back]

I think you meant to state that it cannot happen.

No, I meant exactly what I said.

No point saying it can’t then offer a bet as it gives the game away.

Fucking hell mate, give it a rest.

Unfortunately Mo Salah went out in the group stage after his team lost in normal time to the Ruskies. Didn't win the Champions League either.
