UEFA Competitions: Referee discussions 2025-2026 [Rs]

Oh no.

 

There needed to be more cautions there on the bench, but at least he gave it to Arteta.

 

Two good penalty decisions now.

 

That's the best you can say about that I guess. Stonewall penalty.

 

The easier and expexted call would have been a penalty, but fair play to Siebert. He got it right. Whether he was lucky or good there is irrelevant.

 

Guess grabbing a player from behind and then going thru the back is fine now

 

Arsenal grabs the defenders arm and goes down. I’d be embarrassed to win off the back of that.

 

Disagree about who grabbed who

 

I would expect the morons on Reddit to think that second PA decision was a penalty, but not here. Come on guys.

 

We must be watching different matches.

 

I don't see a foul.

 

PSG is playing as if time of possession determines the winner.

 

Arteta so confidently appleaing for handling at the end. Embarassing.

 

A few personal quibbles from me but overall well handed to the kicks.

 

Justice was done. Thank god.

 

Arteta's football wasn't rewarded.

 

How would you rate Siebert's performance, on a scale of 1 to 10?

 

What time was kickoff in Bucharest?

 

I'm not a Ref, but I'm glad I was not the only one.

I still don't know if he called the PK right away, I thought he unclearly motioned it, or it needed VAR review to be called.

First the commentators said he called it, then they seemed to say he didn't & VAR needed to.

But the only time he halfheartedly pointed to the spot was not after the review, unless I missed it.

I will say I thought the final result was absolutely right, as was the one on the 2nd possible PK, for Arsenal, and I was rooting for them.

 

Bucharest, Romania is Eastern Eruopean Summer Time, or US Eastern +7. So if you were in Bucharest, kickoff was at 7:00pm local.

On the other hand, if you were in Budapest, Hungary, which is in Central European Summer Time, or US Eastern +6, kickoff would have been at 6:00pm local.

 

8.5 but if he had clearly indicated a PK for everyone...really could have been a 9

 

God I can’t stand him why was he going on about handball ffs

Wait for the replay😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/y0OnK9issh

Just embarassing. I genuinely don't think I can remember a more unlikeable and insufferable manager.
