UEFA Champions League (Part 1)

Hopefully before the United final we can fit Sevilla and Napoli in there if they drop out the CL.

Dream run. We haven’t played any of those 3 for ages.

My friend, you have more aspiration than all the MU fans combined :blush:

OK, there’s probably a probably missing in that sentence :upside_down_face:

I’d rather they finish a jammy 2nd.

Keeps the delusions that they are on the rise over Xmas/NY, but will get fucking spanked by whoever they draw in the Round of 16.

nevermind the mugging just before the handball, the striker was being pulled all over the place before it hit his arm.

I meant the man u penalty…how can you jump to head the ball without your arms lifting and then he was struck from point blank range…ridiculous

it’s the same for both, to be honest. it’s an honest ricochet.

Hag was funny, “Rashford didn’t mean it, he was going for the ball”. Mate, he doesn’t have to mean it for it to be a red card, which it clearly was.

It should really highlight again, but it won’t, that all these “football people” often don’t know nor understand the rules that they’re talking about.

It really now depends on the Galatasaray game.

Bayern in the final one, Bayern might not rest to be honest. Germany is never one of the most strenuous leagues and now out of the their domestic trophy which is mostly what fills the midweek I can see them not.

Somewhere in Munich, Harry Kane will be practicing saying “Bitte Chef, lass mich gegen Manchester United starten”

Tuchel won’t be able to understand it, of course

I normally really dislike the Ref analyst the US coverage brings in because she speaks without saying anything. You don’t explain to non refs why something is a foul by citing the wording of the rule, you do it by reconciling what the image shows with how refs are directed to interpret a rule. But last night she had Cara and Richards on toast.

  • Intent has no basis in the decision
  • You may not like it, and even as a ref I may not like it, but this is the rule
  • We dont even make the rule. That is determined by IFAB by a committee of coaches, directors and ex players without input from the refs

Celtic flushed right out of European competition, though their EL hopes were already pretty slim

In a way, you have to admire the amount of research they stick into their racism.
