Today’s Games 2023-2024

[Oh When the Wolves]

Would it not have been common sense to allow Kilman's goal?

English refs have no common sense

Seeing Arsenal fans still claiming that Saka should've had a penalty is fun viewing, he literally killed Neuer and it gets clearer each time you watch a replay of it.

Eh. Saka runs very wide legged generally. It's unusual, but gives him ridiculous power. Neuer makes a movement toward him. He's under no obligation to dodge Neuer's foot. I don't think it's that obvious. 50/50 to me.

I also thought the Sane penalty was baby **** soft. Lad did get touched, but he also clips his own leg on the way down and was obviously looking for it. I can see their annoyance.

I'm at the stage where I turn off games as soon as they are over. Don't listen to pundits before games or at half time. The only problem left is the commentators and pundits during the game. I've heard people say that McCoist is great. Listening to him last night he just seems to fill the air with words. One of his gems last night "the Arsenal supporters have been great its just that Bayern have kept them quiet". Genius.

British play-by-play commentators are often very good, but the colour commentators are almost universally worthless.

 

[brianm]

To be fair the last World Cup was unbelievably entertaining, brilliant tournament. The Euros before it were very good as well.

Eh. There were lots of goals in the last WC Final, but tbh the whole thing felt plastic to me. The last euros I mostly remember the fan trouble at the final.

English refs have no common sense

They don’t have any functioning brain cells either….

 

[Perton Wolf]

I'm going to assume that's autocorrected 'literally kicked' to 'literally killed' or I feel there would have been more discussion of it by now?

Haha, reminds me of a foul/incident where the commentator actually says 'he could have killed him!'

 

[thommo1984]

Haha, reminds me of a foul/incident where the commentator actually says 'he could have killed him!'

Remember when Fergie said RVP could have been killed when he had the ball smacked at him

Robin van Persie could have been killed, claims Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's manager, has claimed Ashley Williams' fly-hack at the ball which struck the prone Robin van Persie on the back of the head could have killed him

No chance -

He's got two legs in the air before he's anywhere near him. It's a dive.

That's how human beings run?

 

[JR WAS KING]

Yes, like most ex pro's have said.

Only time I have thought that might be true was Nicky Hunt on Cech.

 

[5150]

To this day I don't get how we said " nah....you're alright. Think we will pass"
He now starts in midfield for PSG

 

[Wolf316]

He didn’t want to sign for us which is hardly surprising seeing as he was barely used.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Anthony Taylor is such a **** ref. Obvious yellow against Raphina but he’s bottled it as it’s early in the game

 

[RosehillWolf]

Barca almost score

 

[RosehillWolf]

**** winning

 

[RosehillWolf]

Stuart Attwell on VAR for PSG/Barca lol

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Deserved lead for Barca.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Raphina scores for Barca. What a player that 16 year old is for Barcelona, great assist

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

This horrible, geordie commo.

 

[Skrilla]

I'd love to have seen Griezmann play in the Premier League, just for more people to realise how good he is. What a player. A shame he never reached those levels at Barcelona, but they never really built around him like Atletico do.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

This horrible, geordie commo.

I muted the audio, it's not too bad, it's a pity there's not an option to have crowd noise but no commentary.

Ps. I missed an additional 'horrible' in my first post.

 

[Jawwfc]

Albion have just been awarded a penalty..... it hit the Rotheram player in the face and the player was in the D.

It was the worst refereeing decision I have saw.

 

[Watfordfc]

Stuart Attwell on VAR for PSG/Barca lol

Good luck to them !

 

[Wolf316]

PSG ****ting the bed in the champions league yet again.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Great strike from Dembele

 

[CelebrityWolf]

PSG ****ting the bed in the champions league yet again.

To be fair this PSG is a long way from the strong sides they have had in recent years.

Would also say this Barca is a bit better than people give them credit for of late. They were rocky early season but much better since

 

[RosehillWolf]

Vitinha makes it 2-1

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

Vitinha scores to make it PSG 2 - Barcelona 1

 

[Skrilla]

Vitinha has scored, he looks a good player. Portuguese too. Surprised we didn't sign him when he was younger...

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Vitinha... Oh bull**** Jeff...

 

[WolvesAndCows]

PSG ****ting the bed in the champions league yet again.

They must have read this message in the changing room

 

[JR WAS KING]

Vitinha... Oh bull**** Jeff...

Not sure it's Jeff's fault unless he picks the team. He was hardly ever picked.

 

[JadeWolf]

Albion have just been awarded a penalty..... it hit the Rotheram player in the face and the player was in the D.

It was the worst refereeing decision I have saw since Saturday.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Stafford]

Mad to think we had deals agreed for Vitinha, Goncalves and fernandez. What a young midfield that would have been over time.

 

[Summer_Wolf]

Not sure it's Jeff's fault unless he picks the team. He was hardly ever picked.

We had an option to buy for a modest fee and we didn't take it.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Fixed it for you.

I would say since last night, when Gabriel picked up the ball.

 

[RosehillWolf]

What a finish from Raphina. 2-2

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Hell of a ball from Pedri
And a great finish.

 

[Skrilla]

Proper Barca goal that.
