It's just tired defending by Robertson, He's not supposed to stick his leg out at all there. His job is to force the Napoli player, inside towards the massed ranks of liverpool players. (That guy had kicked the ball straight to fabinho) once the leg is out, and he hasn't got the ball, all the napoli player has to do is run towards it and it's a penalty.

Not sure if it has been covered in another thread, but it seems Mignolet has decided to wear 88 for Brugge.
It is the year of his birth, as well as neo-nazi code for Heil Hitler, but in the article I Googled he says
"Ik heb altijd met rugnummer 22 gespeeld. 88 is het viervoud van 22 en dit is mijn 4e club. Dat is het idee. Zo simpel is het. Meer hoeft daar niet achter gezocht te worden en ik ga me er ook niet druk in maken."
Which I guess roughly translates as he's always worn 22, but it wasn't available, so he went for 4 times 22 as it's his 4th club. It's as simple as that, no drama...
Slightly more convincing than Buffon's "4 balls", but then Buffon is a better player and more handsome, so it balances out. It's not as if 22 has brought him any great luck, I'd be looking to change things with his career trajectory.

But he also participated in the PFA social media boycott protesting against racism:

One of the guys who sits with me at Wimbledon and is from generations of Dons fans has a son, who also sits with us, who is close to breaking through in the first team squad. I'm trying to convince the boy to ask for 88 as a squad number if he does make it, for obvious reasons. I should probably tell him the Buffon story just in case though.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 19-09-2019, 15:44.

As you can tell from this and the Europa League thread, I'm catching up with the Opta stats, but this one is worthy of Rogin's Quiz.

The same reason that "people" are calling Stade Francais "Paris" in rugby union.
It is a marketing ruse pushed relentlessly by the ownership of both clubs, which has now been accepted by UEFA and the Top 14.
The official UEFA score bug was already using PAR last season, however.
