Fair enough. I guess I'm just bitter about Oliver given his previous with us
Very poetically put, but I suppose you're right.

I honestly think Bayern are too strong in defense and in possession to succumb to Pool. It's why I was more afraid of City going through. They could do it but I wouldn;t fancy them against any of the remaining teams as much as I would an in form City to be honest. Don't forget that the correct ref calls in both legs would've knocked Pool out by now. Although I'm scared of the fact that there may be a 'Chelsea' type feel to the whole thing for Pool. To be honest even Roma should 'in theory' cause them a lot of problems though. Saying that let them have Madrid and let Ronnie run riot and I'll be more than happy.
clear pen.
was it him who sent DiMaria off?
To those who don't think it's a penalty, what is it that blinds you from something obvious? Your poor vision, lack of understanding of rules, or your hatred for Madrid?
In terms of football, it was a fantastic spectacle. City turning it around and Juve edging through would have been perfect though.
Do you really think a referee wants to award a penalty in the 93rd minute? When he knows it’s soft (although clear, if that makes sense)? No way in hell! He also knows that not rewarding a clear penalty is even worse, so he shows balls - compliments to Oliver
Bayern were unlucky to not get at least two. They completely outplayed Sevilla tonight.
Yes but this year it’s not happening. Atletico out in the groups, Barca knocked out by Roma. They haven’t struggled as much as the English teams but still haven’t been great.
Watched it again, its a pen. Its a dive but his hands were in his back.
If that was Lukaku; he heads it in!
But if we got the decision, you wouldn't.
We got away with one against City
If you watch it again Benetia doesn't even kick the ball when he wraps his leg around...
It's not even a "soft" penalty
It's not even a "soft" penalty
Maybe he had absolutely no doubts it was a stonewall penalty having seen it from 10 metres away??
Clear penalty and red card
Gonna go with the player falling over already and the fact he looks as douchy as a Liverpool/City player
Contact without ball is obvious, clear pen, soft or not.
Don't see anything that can get Buffon sent off though. Maybe he insulted Oliver or something ?
There's not much to choose between the lot of them is there. They're all bellends.
Could you give me the lotto numbers since you’re already predicting the future?
Off course not. I know very well that we’re not as good as we used to be. We’re playing a relatively weak season. But that doesn’t change anything about our performance against Sevilla. We progressed with ease. They had about one actual opportunity to score, that’s it. It‘s a bit ridiculous that some guys on here undermine a perfectly fine performance, to feel better about their team screwing up against a clearly inferior side.
That logic is about as dumb as the insult.
Anyone got a gif or whatever of the Correa red card challenge? Can't find it.
Nah. I was gutted for Juve, obviously, but the drama was worth it. Plus, we already had one epic comeback. This soul-crushing last minute was exactly what was missing.
Wasn't it you who said Young's tackle on Aguero wasn't a pen?
I think that’s more a case of analyzing the past?
thanks Gif
I dunno, I'm 50/50 now - take your pick, he's mad keen to go down isn't he?
On a VAR - I think you probably get it, though.
(I know that's illogical but just how I feel)
Refs not on the Spanish teams sides? My bloody arse! Chelsea were robbed against Barca to stop another repeat all English final. We were robbed against Madrid with the Nani red card. Ronaldo was at his floppy best tonight with no caution. I doubt if Juve were in that position a penalty would have been called. Do Real get the goal disallowed v Porto that we did? No bloody way.
At first I didn't, when I didn't see me left the ground... Now I've seen it multiple times it was a penalty, but not a red card.
Definitely my hatred for Madrid. Easy answer.
It's stonewall. You can't just take the guy out from behind as he's preparing to leather it top bins.
Vasquez only had eyes on the ball all the time too.
Of course. Teams go through boom-bust cycles. Barcelona is in a massive transition. This Madrid team will be gutted in a year -- quite a few of their big game players are past 30.
Don't think you can argue that the past 10 years have been quite predictable. The Barcelona domination was incredible but was it enjoyable to watch for a football fan? Same goes for Madrid particularly because of how fortunate they have been in the last 4 years!
Just watched the highlights from the Real match. Wow, what a soft pen. Time the US attorney looks at UEFA
there is no reason for me to go ahead on this matter, we are out ... I think oliver is an utter twat and we all knew it before but, again, it is hot hair now. congrats to real and good luck in the semis.
I mean I get why anyone thinks it might not have been a pen. It just doesn’t look like much. But that’s not the point. If Benatia doesn’t push him ever so slightly, he might score. In a situation like this, a soft push is all it needs to make your opponent lose his balance. Which is all that matters. Benatia had no chance to get to the ball and pushed his opponent to prevent him from scoring. Always a penalty, even if some refs lack the balls to call it one in a situation like this.Fair enough. I guess I'm just bitter about Oliver given his previous with us

This was nothing like Chelsea Barca though. Juve were lucky to have 10 on the pitch at the end, they committed 20 fouls in that game.
Clear penalty but I don't care what Buffon said, you don't just send him off like that on what's possibly his last CL game.
Giflords video...about 55 seconds in. He puts both hands in his back.
Might not be a terrible foul but he clearly nudges him and denying a goal scoring opportunity.
Soft? Maybe a little, but looks a pen.
Regardless, Buffon (same as Pep) is stupid. Decision isn't going to change and staying on the pitch gives his team a better chance

fair question
I want it to be an Oliver cock-up.
It's a bit divey & I always go against that if I can.
