GWT: Champions League - MW4

[bluesfan94]

Zinchenko's volley deserved to go in just because of how pure it was struck

 

[luiginb]

Bayern seem to be playing away against Galatasaray haha

 

[HoseEmDown]

It's actually not worth discussing. If you can look at the Romero and Rashford plays and honestly conclude that the Rashford one is the worse play, then there's literally no point in discussing anything.

Rashford nearly broke that guys ankle. Romero was over aggressive but didn't nearly break Fernandez leg in half.

 

[Jussi]

Romero touched the ball...Rashford broke an ankle.

Jelert must be a medical miracle then, considering he's still playing.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Jelert must be a medical miracle then, considering he's still playing.

No, he's extremely lucky to still be playing. That ankle was very close to being broken from how Rashford bent it.

 

[Jussi]

No, he's extremely lucky to still be playing. That ankle was very close to being broken from how Rashford bent it.

If that were the case he would've been subbed off.

 

[hatterson]

No, he's extremely lucky to still be playing. That ankle was very close to being broken from how Rashford bent it.

Similarly, United is very lucky that Hojlund didn't just break his jaw with that vicious left hook that was thrown at him.

 

[Venkman]

Should be Vavro's second yellow.

 

[cgf]

LeGo having to play CB because of Bayern's lack of depth is an interesting development...

 

[Jussi]

Similarly, United is very lucky that Hojlund didn't just break his jaw with that vicious left hook that was thrown at him.

THAT WAS A BLATANT CLOSED FIST, MCMAHON!

 

[hatterson]

That's just as much a handball as Maguires.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

No, he's extremely lucky to still be playing. That ankle was very close to being broken from how Rashford bent it.

This is basically the equivalent of saying any time the ball hits a hand in the box it's a penalty. Completely disregarding context and how the game is played.

 

[Venkman]

Yep have to give that penalty as they gave Maguire's.

 

[Chimaera]

I think while the fact that Carra and Henry don’t support United is relevant, it’s also somewhat relevant to consider they played in rougher, more liberal times with no VAR as well. I don’t know which fact is more relevant in this case, but I don’t think I would hold either up as the standard bearer of what should or shouldn’t be a call.

 

[hatterson]

To be clear, I think that's an atrocious call as well. But if you're giving the Maguire one because it's hit into his arm at short distance, you also have to give that one.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

That's just as much a handball as Maguires.

Indeed. As in, neither are pens. VAR has been useless all game. All week even?

 

[HoseEmDown]

If that were the case he would've been subbed off.

Again he's very fortunate, the way his ankle was bent isn't natural.

 

[gary69]

Now that was confident PK from Bruno.

 

[King Makar19]

1st Handball was on Varane..than Harry...

 

[Jussi]

BRUNO!

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

1st Handball was on Varane..than Harry...

Lolol the ball off Varane would never ever be a pen

 

[HoseEmDown]

This is basically the equivalent of saying any time the ball hits a hand in the box it's a penalty. Completely disregarding context and how the game is played.

Explain the Maeda red yesterday for me then. Clearly VAR doesn't care about how the games played or where a player naturally has to put there foot. They care about slow motion replays that look dangerous. It's not good for the game but if you call one you have to call them all that way.

 

[bluesfan94]

Saka is going off for treatment to his ankle and the ref is making him walk off the "shorter" way to have to walk around the field. On a bad ankle. And gave him a yellow for it.

So not only has he been allowed to be kicked all game without a yellow to the starting LB, but now Saka gets a yellow for daring to be injured by repeated kicking

 

[hatterson]

I think while the fact that Carra and Henry don’t support United is relevant, it’s also somewhat relevant to consider they played in rougher, more liberal times with no VAR as well. I don’t know which fact is more relevant in this case, but I don’t think I would hold either up as the standard bearer of what should or shouldn’t be a call.

The point has been made many times before that VAR is at it's worst when it's changing calls that absolutely no one on the pitch was complaining about.

In the Rashford case, it was certainly a foul and worthy of a yellow, but absolutely no one was thinking about a red card live.

Copenhagen was complaining about it not being called a foul because right after it United had a very dangerous break, but they weren't lobby/complaining about a potential sending off.

Explain the Maeda red yesterday for me then. Clearly VAR doesn't care about how the games played or where a player naturally has to put there foot. They care about slow motion replays that look dangerous. It's not good for the game but if you call one you have to call them all that way.

I generally agree with this. It can also be extended to where a player naturally has to put their hands.

Saka is going off for treatment to his ankle and the ref is making him walk off the "shorter" way to have to walk around the field. On a bad ankle. And gave him a yellow for it.

So not only has he been allowed to be kicked all game without a yellow to the starting LB, but now Saka gets a yellow for daring to be injured by repeated kicking

That seems extra stupid in a 2 goal game.

Great assist from Tel
