[Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

[East Staffs Gull]

Shocking decision, encouraged by the VAR officials. Videos are fine, but leave it in the hands of the ref. Ref should be able to stop the game, refer to the screen and then make a decision.

PSG’s long range shooting has been pub team level, unbelievably shit

On a par with Bissouma’s long range shots!

So AC Milan to draw with PSG and Dortmund to beat Newcastle.

Newcastle play AC Milan and PSG play Dortmund... or have I missread what you meant?!

 

[Justice]

We have the first confirmed participants of the Europa League knockout play-offs as Feyenoord (Netherlands) and Young Boys (Switzerland) will play against a Europa League runners-up.

Didn't a cross skim of Dunks back on to his arm has he slid in, and they gave a pen?

Can't remember if it was this season or last!

Luton at home, this season.

Hahahahahaha

It's not funny. In the long run those sort of decisions affect us all.

I think that's the worst VAR handball decision I've seen, and it sets a worrying bar.

Yep, and besides, PSG and Newcastle are cut from the same cloth ownership wise anyhow, so...

[Psychobilly freakout]

Bad news for us if PSG drop down to the Europa League

Nah, bad news for Sussex Police you mean.

I’m sure Jamal Khashoggi would agree...if he wasn’t dead. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer club.

Now come on Jermaine RESPECT!

Not the point. The issue isn't Newcastle United, the issue is a rank poor decision in a key match that may have a huge affect on the outcome of the group.

If that happened to Albion in a similar situation, folk would rightly be raging.

We all know VAR is the worst thing that has ever happened to football but the smug whinging washers not winning is a bonus

I was at spurs when we were stopped getting to the champions league so I'm glad somebody like the media darlings on suffering now

PSG got an XG off 4.5. That is pretty decent. Finished like morons. Newcastle were battered. The narrative of them being unlucky is daft. They were incredibly lucky that psg were comical in front of goal (as were Milan in Milan who had almost 30 shots that day).

We are not commenting on who desrved to win just that the penalty was a disgrace and decisions like this do football no favours.

 

[zefarelly]

Ref told to have a look a joke. Why hasnt ref got the balls to go against var

Think about it . . . 2 bed villa in Sardinia, appartment in Paris. .. . .it's not a difficult decision. It's a well oiled system.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

It's another shocking decision.

How the hell a group of so called qualified officials can sit watching replays decide that the ref needs to see it again, and then the ref actually gives it. It's rotten to the core.

My bad, not sure where I saw that then. AC to win then which would then put either them or PSG into the Europa league and the geordies sulking.
