CL knockouts

[Toby Gymshorts]

VAR does its job in the Liverpool game, not giving a pelanty that wasn't a pelanty.

As I write, Firmino blazes over a clear chance for 3-0.

[hobbes]

For the pen non-incident, the ball was already out, anyway.

[Sporting]

It's not VAR which is the problem but the interpretation of handball.

[Toby Gymshorts]

It's both, frankly.

[Ray de Galles]

Looked like a sneaky elbow to Kane's head from Fernandinho as they both hit the ground form challenging for a header.

[elguapo4]

A couple of them, then pushing his head into the ground as well.

Two.

[hobbes]

That's Fernandinho's game. Spends his whole time fouling and getting away with it. It's positively Carvalho-esque.

[Sporting]

Or Pepe or Ramos

[ursus arctos]

Does not look good for Kane. Straight down the tunnel

[Toby Gymshorts]

Fernandinho is a sly shithouse who gets away with this stuff constantly.

[Jah Womble]

Surprised generally at how dirty City are.

Perhaps I just hadn't noticed it in their other games.

See also: Barcelona, Bayern Munich.

It's almost like there's a link.

[Gerontophile]

Good on ya Son

[Sporting]

Well well well

[Toby Gymshorts]

Play to the whistle, Man City.

That said, also: fuck off, Man City.

[Jah Womble]

Brilliant from Sonny. But will it be enough?

[elguapo4]

Delph standing round with his hand in the air, Pep should have a look across the city if he wants to see the folly of playing a midfielder at full back.

[Sporting]

See also: Barcelona, Bayern Munich.

It's almost like there's a link.

Topic for another time maybe but Guardiola's Barcelona dirty? Not too sure about that.

[Gerontophile]

Mo Salah just went over the ball on some guy (who was trying to do the same.)

[Toby Gymshorts]

Really? I suggest you look again. They were more than capable of mixing it when they had to / felt like it. Notably when they were losing.

EDIT: to Sporting

[Toby Gymshorts]

Origi is rapid, but his delivery is awful.

Which makes you wonder why Klopp insists on sticking him out wide.

What's that? Oh.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Part one of Nostrarogin's prophecy is complete...

EDIT: though I'm not sure it was that nervy, in truth.

EDIT: to Sporting

No more than others I think but off to bed now. Let's argue tomorrow!

[Snake Plissken]

I'm sure that I heard / read something about City regularly having 70% possession and committing significantly more fouls than the opposition.
