Never mess with the soccer gods! Gave himself bad karma with the whole Greenwood thing...Injured. Will be out for two or three weeks due to a sprain. Of course, he misses the Leipzig game in CL.

Disgraced himself tonight.
ah yes because spanish players are so famously sportsmanlike and mannerly when it comes to refereesI'm ashamed to be English

He's always been a tool you could tell but he's a great player.He’s turning out to be a bit of a tool. Great player though.
He's absolutely right to be fair. There's a reason we didn't see a goal disallowed like that since 1978...
Ref probably stood down for a week at least.
Ehh, don’t think they’ll punish Gil Manzano for this. Not often refs get reprimanded in Spain.
Sucks to miss Jude again though. I think the default is something like 3 games for comments at the referee. Guess he’ll be well rested for the CL at least.
It's a criminal error for a pro ref, even a school boy ref ain't blowing up as a cross comes in.
No idea La Liga ref procedures but I'd be shocked if some action wasn't taken for it.
I hope he gets brexitedI'm ashamed to be English
Disgraced himself tonight.
He had played over the allocated time and blew the whistle. What was he wanting the ref to do?
“ah I see you still went for that and it went in, I’ll just blow it now and pretend the first one didn’t happen, add that little bit of extra time on so you guys can win”.
No, he didn't, It's the ref that disgraced himself. I'm with Jude on this. I mean, how any of would our players react if this happened to us. Look at Vinicius.
the key word been MINIMUM in the added time, no ref calls it whilst in that position.

Exactly. There’s a reason the players are all going crazy, because none of us have ever seen anything like that. It just isn’t done.
I love how some people in here are trying to normalise or justify what we’ve just seen. . It’s nothing short of outrageous.
How dare you
I for one fully support what the ref has done. It is a bit ridiculous that a team can get minutes of additional time to try and score if they can apply enough pressure (the ball is in the final third so the ref will not blow)
If anything, it should happen more often.
He blew the fecking whistle while the ball was mid air after a cross. feck that, precedent is generally set that if you're going to blow it blow it before he even gets a cross off (or honestly when they are recycling around the edge of the box)
I'd be livid too.
I’m with you. I would be furious if that happened to United, and I have no idea how people suggest Bellingham react. It’s a virtually unprecedented course of action for the referee to take. Been watching football, actively, for well over 3 decades and I’ve never seen that before. So for it to happen in a big match is beyond absurd. And people want Bellingham to do what exactly? Shrug his shoulders, say “oh ok then”, and calmly walk off? No….the guy is doing what any of us would do in that situation and throwing a fecking fit. A well justified fit. Absolutely incompetent, and/or cnutish refereeing.
They should. I find it funny how refs feel they have to keep playing just because the ball is in a dangerous area.the key word been MINIMUM in the added time, no ref calls it whilst in that position.
It's got nothing to do with simping for Madrid.He won't get his red overturned. Sets a bad precedent. Can't curse in a ref's face like that.
Also it was already 1:40 mins over allocated extra time. Some cry babies here and in the La Liga thread who love to siimp to Real
Ah you guys have the league all but sewn up anyway, better off keeping him fresh for a tilt at the CL.Ehh, don’t think they’ll punish Gil Manzano for this. Not often refs get reprimanded in Spain.
