It was all day long.

Bye bye barca

Roberto Firmino

Fine pen, but that’ll be debated long into the night.

Don’t be fooled into thinking this is done.

Might as well outlaw tackles in football

Oh dear, what now.

Love me a bit a VAR…

One crazy night it’ll be if it’s not. But definitely not worth switching the game off; not yet.

Not sure on this one.

Looked a perfect tackle at the time.

Enter VAR to technically get it right.

I know. The difference in cash-flow and money from commercial sales, is just too vast. But you have to embrace what little romance that still exists in this decadent sport.
I am a Liverpool fan, but honestly, in many ways I detest the Premier League and everything around it. The financial muscles of the top leagues, particularly the Premier League, are just too strong and have destroyed much of what I loved with football as a little kid (of course, already then it was dying, but I grew up in the waning years of football, when Portugese and Dutch teams could still win).

Now, everything is plastic.

It looks like that Inter are getting ready for the Allianz stadium.

Well if we’re on the subject of technical perfection then the tackle on Yamal is also a PK

Don’t get me started on VAR….

Defender kicks the attackers foot while attempting to win the ball in the box… penalty. As plain as the nose on my face.

That was their left back winning the ball back 20 yards inside the Barca half, and far enough infield he was within the width of the goal posts. The through ball was to the RB who was 1-1 with the keeper. This is total football.

Marginally touches the attackers foot. It’s routinely ignored in several phases of the game

It was a great spot. He went through the foot first before the ball. It’s tiny margins, but them’s the dice at this level
