Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

Mbappe 1-1

 

It’s nearly impossible to defend. The ball was kicked into him bounced off and hit his arm while in stride.

FT

 

I can't believe it

 

Why even play these games?

Just tell us the result you desire and save us the time we invest watching them.

That PSG penalty was criminal. Like that should be immediately investigated.

 

The good thing:
If Newcastle win Milan at home, PSG must win away at Dortmund. A draw won’t be enough.
In that case:
Dortmund 11
Newcastle 8
PSG 8
Newcastle has the advantage vs PSG

 

It's not even that it rebounds and hits his hand

It's the inside of his damn elbow

 

Lol as if they would allow PSG to go out in the group stages. Al-Khealifis best purchase has been that bum Ceferin.

Also never ever trust Dortmund to come through.

 

I thought ball rebounding off of body is not a penalty anymore? How many times do they change the rules? Both VAR and the ref took a good look at it, how could they miss it hit his sides?

 

That made my blood boil for real. What the hell was that penalty? And never forget that Mbappe chose over and over to be the face of this farce. Yuck.

 

It is extremely rare for a handball to actually stop a goalscoring opportunity. We often see a handball penalty when it wasn’t even close to being a big chance.

• If the ball touches any other body part first, no penalty.
• Give an indirect FK instead of a penalty.

Handballs are punished too severely, defenders literally play with their hands behind their backs and attackers just aim at the arms. This is just dumb.

 

This is the first thing that came to my mind. They are on course to buy themselves a ballon d'or via UEFA too. My guess is Mbappe stays at PSG so he can farm Ballon D'Ors bought by his Qatari paymasters.

 

If he stays in Paris, it is actually fine with me.

Edited: I will be happy to see him here next season, but I don't care if he stays.... we might be better off without him.

 

Barnsley's 91st minute winner against Wycombe tonight was wild. 🤣

Did the keeper have one of his family members kidnapped? Is this another Tonali situation? No way this is not investigated....

 

Ok the keeper was terrible

but even then, how is that not a foul?

 

JUST IN

The VAR who awarded PSG's controversial added-time penalty against Newcastle has been removed from duty on a game on Wednesday.

Clear indication UEFA views this as a VAR error.

However, this is not due to the deflection off the body.

I think the referee is more at fault than the VAR team. He was the one who awarded it at the end of the day.
