senor enrique's qatari bankrolled, sulking parisian wannabees v monsieur eddie's guerriers saoudiens noirs et blancs.

That was the only way those cunts were scoring, and they knew it. They'd screamed for two total non-pens already.

 

I think Jenas is right that the ref caved under the pressure. Watching that on the monitor, the right decision was no pen, and he just bottled it under pressure.

Worry about the effect this has on them for Saturday.

Thankfully it's a Tuesday game.

VAR is 100% just an apparatus for entitled big clubs to have a second layer of additional pressure to apply to match officials to get them to bottle big decisions. The complaining and crowding of the ref throughout the match was 100% the reason for that decision. Decisions should be made in isolation but that was the product of cumulative dissent by the PSG players throughout the match. And they got their reward. Why wouldn't they do it? Refs are a bunch of cowardly nerds. What a way to ruin a wonderful match for us.

[Monkeys Fist 42442]

As much as it’s fucking bullshit regarding the “Pelanty”, have to say those 11 lads out there tonight have done themselves proud, especially the nippers. 

[Isegrim 9775]

What a ridiculous decision. Jorman commentators were furious.

[RobElliott 1493]

Just need a draw and we are in the Europa League, I would have taken that before a ball was kicked in the CL considering our group.

 

Another couple of years and we will be swatting these teams away city style

[Rayvin 5223]

Well fucking done lads, absolute heroes. Genuinely proud to have this team representing the city.

They're going to have nothing in the legs surely.

 

We're hugely disadvantaged in the CL going to the last game now and will have zero in the tank for Saturday. Proud of the performance tonight but this has ended up being a very poor day on the whole for us.

 

Thanks to that pathetic decision in the end. 

[wykikitoon 20140]

Hopefully Dortmund bum the fuck out of them

[Isegrim 9775]

Anyway what a fantastic performance.

 

Well done.

[Gemmill 44879]

Problem now is that I want us to beat Milan for the Tonali business. But we absolutely cannot afford all these games.

[OTF 7295]

That's a monumental failing of not only the VAR but also the ref. VAR should have taken one look and confirmed it was off his chest. The only way it could not have then contacted his arm would have involved a prior amputation. Baffling.

 

Still, lads worked their absolute bollocks off despite getting harshly done in refereeing decisions quite consistently throughout. The result is not the upsetting part, it's 100% the way it transpired.

I don’t see how anyone goes to the screen and awards that.

 

Its the sort of decision that if he gives the pen in real time you’d expect him to go to the screen and overturn it.

And Pope. He deserved a clean sheet for that performance.

[Toonpack 9404]

Robbed, but still a great result anyway, unbeaten home and away against PSG and still in it up to the last game, avoid defeat and were in the Europa.

[Gemmill 44879]

On the plus side, it's an hour home on the plane for us. Man United have got 4+ hours to Turkey, play a day later, and all the Welcome to Hell shit to deal with.

 

Hopefully they get the absolute fuck kicked out of them for 90 minutes.

[ackas 311]

Best ref on the planet?

He was for 97 mins and then just handed them a goal.

Fucking bizarre.

German commentators were certain the pelanty couldn’t and wouldn’t be given. They banked on the polish cunt being an honest man not bowing down to pressure. They were furious afterwards saying nowadays all a striker has to do is trying to hit an arm.

I think we are seeing that at all levels it's being used in that way.....they have absolute bought that ref in the end and he's single handedly evened it up for them. Mbappe doesn't miss penalties. Yellow cards are being given out for arm waving yet countless times there nearly the whole PSG team were calling for it. He could have booked the majority of them several times over. 

 

Our lot were magnificent again, such an accomplished performance and we were clever in the press in periods. Top defending from them all. They should be proud of that performance, unfortunately it's been completely overshadowed from one single VAR decision.....again..

[ewerk 30610]

The commentary team kept telling us this was the best referee in the world. In the first half he avoided giving them several yellow cards and in the second half he carded them for everything then is bullied into a ridiculous penalty at the end. If that’s the best referee in the world then maybe we’re not too badly off in the PL.

[RobElliott 1493]

Permutations...

 

We beat Milan and Dortmund avoid defeat at PSG and we qualify for the CL KO stages. Very doable

 

Draw Vs Milan and we go into the Europa

Club needs to add its voice to the calls for scrapping VAR tbh. It's an absolute disgrace and just another tool for the status quo to preserve itself.

We have all these games in December anyway  Every fucker bar Tonali is back by the middle of January 

[OTF 7295]

At least it is pretty much universally understood that it was never a penalty and that PSG needed a competence malfunction of the highest order to claw a point in Paris.

[Gemmill 44879]

Watch the class from Howe that's coming up here though. You don't even have to worry that he's gonna make a complete cunt of himself like Arteta.

 

Even though I'd personally get a lot of satisfaction out of it if he called the ref a "big daft Polish cunt" in the press conference.
