Andrew 4718 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Fucking hell! Aguero gets the winner in the 93rd minute and VAR has ruled it out! This has been a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13794 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Fantastic game and while Spurs play better football without Kane, his consistency in front of goal can’t be ruled out. Bit torn because I like this Spurs side but it would be good to see someone win the Quadruple, just to prove it can be done. Got to think the fixture congestion plays into Man Clty’s hands with the league now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4718 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Is it? Didn't VAR get two huge, tie/competition changing decisions right during the game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6986 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'd happily swap the odd wrong decision in place of sitting for 60 seconds before finding out whether you should celebrate or not. And the angle the referee didn't get to see for the Llorente goal clearly showed the ball come off his hand before it hit his leg and went in. The offside rule is fucked as well if an opposition player can play a pass back towards goal, skim a player who knows fuck all about it and still be given offside.

Clear and obvious error and all that. If the law needs changing to make that more clear cut it isn't VARs fault, same for the offside, KDs right to say the offisde laws fucked too, we've all known that for years though. (though he and I have a different definition of skimming a player considering the hit off bernardo made the ball loop up into the air rather than barely changing its path) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4371 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Getting things right is one thing but it shows football is now for the benefit of TV audiences rather than attendees more than ever which I find sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, as well as letting referees be the star of the show which is something nobody has ever asked for. Not to mention, it makes for thrilling arguments about the minutiae of decisions, rather than talk about the actual players themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 32728 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Pep's the bees knees but if he was called Kevin Keegan he'd be crucified for that game. Man City battered Spurs yet Tottenham scored three and had a couple of half chances as well. Waiting for the first 'tactically naive' comment from the usual bullshitters though it might be some time. Great game to watch but still preferred the Ajax game on Tuesday. (As an aside, BT had Peter Drury commentating on that one whereas their main man on the mic is Darren 'Fletch' Fletcher alongside his mate Steve 'Macca' McManaman. If BT think Fletcher is a better commentator than Drury than maybe they need to advise Pep and Klopp to drop Sterling and Salah and buy and play Jacob Murphy and Joselu instead). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pair of tits that ruin watching a game. BT is shocking for Premier League coverage mind. Though the channel itself is great value so I can't bring myself to cancel in protest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
