Champions League Round of 16 (13th Feb - 14th Mar)

Dembele is a great footballer, so strong and balanced and always take a good option, rarely tries too much, just keeps it ticking over efficiently.
 
Exactly... that’s why they dive. For the 3rd time, the tackle was shite and it could’ve been a fecking pen. He dove though and he’s a bellend. Happy?

Still don't think that was a dive. He was put off balance. But sometimes there are times when players are fouled and they dive. In those instances I would like to see the refs do what they do in hockey (I am Canadian after all lol). In hockey if you are hooked and you take a dive the ref gives a penalty to the one player for hooking and the diver gets a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. In football I would like to see the ref give the foul but then also give a yellow card for diving. But in order for that to happen, the refs have to start calling fouls when players don't go down (other than advantage)...
 
That yellow for Sandro must be one of the worst I've seen.

This ref is an idiot.

Fair enough mate. There’s some sense in that.
