UEFA Champions League (Part 2)

Its the big limitation of VAR in that it cannot yet intervene on a second yellow. Similar the Jota red against Spurs in THAT fucking game

Think they should have an overarching rule that VAR can intervene if the Ref has been a plonker.

I think there was talk of being able to intervene on second yellows and its kind of crazy its taken this long to get around to it and give it the green light

The referee deserves a statue. He gave the cunts just a taste of what they’ve been doing to the domestic league for decades.

The pundits and the reporters on their payroll can’t stop crying, while everyone else is laughing and making fun of them.

But yes, in isolation it’s a terrible rule not to be able to review second yellows.

The complication is that they would also have to review the first Yellow, on the basis that the second could be correct, but becomes a red due to the mistake on the first.

Only team that’s stopping them is Man City and I feel they are too light.

Ajax imploded in 1 minute and 17 seconds when their captain, Kenneth Taylor, was sent off and they conceded from the resulting free kick.

Ironically, Facundo Buonanotte—who had been fouled—took the free kick, which Wesley Fofana headed back across goal for Marc Guíu to tap in from close range.

Ajax are winless in three matches and in terrible form. Their fans seem angry as Oscar Gloukh is taken off for Jorthy Mokio.

Chelsea fans respond with chants of you’re getting sacked in the morning to Arne Slot’s former assistant John Heitinga, now in charge of the struggling Dutch giants.

Didn’t you get the memo…. Accrington Stanley would knock 5 past them.

So, that rubbish team Frankfurt got a point in Naples? Puts our performance against them into perspective.

We missed a trick when we didn’t sign him a couple of years ago. He was on the Kop with his dad and had a real affinity with the club and, I feel, there for the signing.

Arsenal fielded a 15 year old…wow.

The youngest-ever Champions League player.

Dowman was introduced as a substitute in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League - becoming the first player of his age to play in Europe’s premier club competition at 15 years and 308 days old.

He is SUPER injury-prone. And long bouts of recovery.
