I have two points to make:

1, That is not a foul on the goalie in a million years. Awful decision.

2, That clip looks better than the HD on my TV.

City paid off the refs. They're going to win the CL this year.

I really thought that Dortmund would be destroyed so good to see them make a game of it and should be level if not for the bent ref. Hopefully a sign that they can put it up to City over 2 legs.

True they don't seem completely out of the tie just yet but if their history is anything to go by they are going to hold their own, maybe even equalize up until the 75th minute and then concede 2 or 3 stupid goals in the final 15 minutes.

Pool are shocking :lol:

Real did foul in the lead up to the 2-0 though.

Yes! Very clearly so! He's just been letting people maul each other near the boxes for whatever reason :lol:

We probably should have had a penalty too. Two free kicks at the edge of the box. Liverpool should also have had two free kicks near the box(the one mentioned in the lead up to the second goal and another on keita). The one saving grace is that he's been consistent with it
 
The fact that they have VAR but don't use it for none penalty decisions is crazy right?
 
For all the apparent superiority in ~a billion € of players' worth vs maybe 200 mill, PL 1st vs Bundesliga 5th, Pep vs Terzic, this is a close match and Dortmund should arguably be level here.
Still expect them to crumble later on in round two.

Have to say this ref is trash. He's consistent at least, but damn some of the stuff he let go :wenger:

Liverpool have been worse than atalanta

I think the ref knows he’s dropped a bollock on that mane foul, suddenly he stopped being so bold with his play on calls after that.

Real have been as good as Liverpool are shit. Love to see it.
 
I fully expected Real to trash Liverpool. Imo they're a clear favorite on that side of the bracket, only City and Bayern look better and they're on the other side

Also Zidane is schooling Klopp real hard
 
Like I said in the Premier League thread, City's football is just so safe, considering the talent they have. It is patience above all else.

And it's obviously devestatingly effective. But it's still painfully boring for me to watch. I'd love to know if City fans enjoy it. You get 70% position for 45 minutes and in a good game take 3 shots. I mean listen, you're never going to concede, so that's nice, but really isn't what the sport should be about.

Pep’s away record in Europe is nothing to write home about. If City doesn’t get a second then they might sweat it big time in the 2nd leg.
 
Pool are awful.. Arsenal shat the bed and made them look good.
 
My Liverpool-supporting brother is refusing to take my calls. This is wonderful :lol:

Why would the ref blow so early if he wasn't determined to stop the goal.

That stinks of corruption more than incompetence.

Honestly, this. Took ages to look at the replay for the horrible pen call, looking for the slightest indication there could be a pen somewhere, and doesn't even overturn the yellow.
And then for that goal, he blew the whistle just in time to make sure Bellingham couldn't score. Complete joke.

Bribed, corrupt, oil money buying refs. Have a word with yourselves :lol:

If he was bribed he would have stuck with the penalty call as he could have used the contact on the knee as a reason to stick to his original decision.

Horrific decision from a terrible ref, end of.

Supports one of the most corrupt clubs. Checks out. :p

Was thinking similar, no soul in how City play. Feels like every goal is a cut back or from ball across the six yard box. They're really effective but really dull to watch.

I considered him to be whilsting in City's favor on numerous occasions. Fair play to him recalling the penalty though but the Bellingham goal was a disgraceful foul. In the age of VAR these kind of things are unforgivable.

Nowadays refs even let play continue when someone's 2 meters offside just 'in case' evem for half a chance. Now he couldn't wait 1 second for a certain goal. It's disgraceful.
 
Still fuming over that Bellingham decision. Even if he thought it was a foul, at least let him score, call a foul after it's crossed the line and then VAR will check it.
