[Albion] Champions League 23/24 Thread

[Nobby Cybergoat]

OK. It's funny because I hate the Toon.

But this is an appalling decision. What Newc fans are learning is that there's a pecking order with getting these decisions. Normally if they're playing us or Luton or something, they'll get the decisions all day long.

Up against PSG, the ref will be looking to throw them a bone all day long. VAR, as ever helpfully assists to get the right club the right result.

Club badge check complete. Decision penalty.

Oh well. Can’t stand the Saudi Magpies with Tindall Mr ego and dull and miserable Howe. Imagine being stuck in a lift with that miserable sod Eddie Howe.

Are we looking at this through premier league interpretation? Uefa have different rules for pens don’t they. If the arm is out and it hits it, even off the body, then it is a pen. So the issue was not VAR or the Ref. It was the rules. It was recommended that uefa took the interpretation we have in the prem ie if it hits not then arm it is not a pen, but they didn’t adopt. So was this actually the correct decision based on the rules?

Maybe it is all of us who are wrong because we have different rule in prem (which is better)

Can I just put it out there, the PSG fans were pretty damn vocal, cracking atmosphere and if I dare can I add, that is how you utilise drums, they sounded awesome with that military kind of beat, very tribal and added to the atmosphere.

In my humble opinion.

Were they all wearing black, custom-made, Armani jackets and displaying a banner stating they were formed in 1066?

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.

Yeah but we don't care about Newcastle as they are run by a bloodthirsty regime.

Man Utd winning 2-1 in the "we all hate Leeds" derby.

Onana with some more hilariously shit keeping allowing Galatasary to halve the deficit

Oh, interesting. I might turn back over. The other game is a bit dull.

This one is chances aplenty. A great watch. Except it's Man Utd. And Zaha.


Zaha just missed a presentable chance that would no doubt have been in the back of our net if we were the opposition.

Yeah, switched over just in time to see that.

The commentary team for this game is just horrendous. I'd mute them, but the atmosphere is amazing.

I don't really get the joy some are feeling here when other English teams lose... The more PL teams having to play two games a week for as long as possible, the better for us, surely? I'd rather see them lose the final.

Edit: Ok, it was a draw for the Saudis yesterday, but still.

I will NEVER want good things to happen to, amongst others, Manchester United.

 

[Steve in Japan]

It's been a good game at Istanbul so far. United winning but seems to me the bigger chances have gone to Galatasaray. Second half should be entertaining.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The Gala offside is why VAR needs to get in the bin

He's not gained any advantage

 

[Krafty]

Whatever happens, I hope that Man United do not finish third in their group.

Fancy a trip to 'hell' instead? I do.

3-3. What a goal. What a game.

 

[Muzzman]

Nice goal that 3-3

 

[Grizz]

This is a cracking game of footy, could be 6-6!

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Do I want an English team to progress in the CL and watch zahaha throw a wobbly, or do I really, REALLY want fernandes and ten hags to cry?
What's turkish for you're forgiven, wilf?
