I hope you're not including that 2009 semi against Chelsea in that, because that was, without question, the biggest crock of shite I've ever seen from a football official.

We miss Kane tonight very badly. Son/Lucas up top means that there's nobody who can hold the ball up and be comfortable playing with his back to goal, so we're very predictable in an attacking sense.
Alli too, obviously. Right now if you stop the ball from getting to Eriksen we're very easy to stifle.

Not so sure about that. Did not really loose so much steam in the matches against Bayern. Problem is that they do not have an end product.
Ten Haag does a real great job with that team.
Jadon Sancho, though, what a player.
good call on the VAR, he's impeding the chances of Real Madrid qualifying to the next round
Rose is injured, only just made the bench. Otherwise he'd 100% be starting, been one of our best players in recent weeks.
I haven’t seen the incident but if a player is offside and is in the goalkeeper’s line of sight or otherwise impacts the decision making of an opponent then he’s offside because he’s interfering with an opponent.
That means that if he’s offside when the ball is played and the keeper can’t make a save because he has to consider the alternative possibility of an alternative effort by the offside player, then he is judged to be interfering.
The typical example is an offside player jumping for but ducking under a deep in-swinging cross. His presence and the possibility of a flick forces the keeper to not commit to the far corner and making the save, thus interfering with the opponent and becoming active even if he doesn’t touch the ball.
Offside doesn’t come under the clear and obvious criteria.
No. Both the Spanish giants are a bunch of ref lucky, play acting, diving cnuts and all that despite enormous talent on the field.
I have to say Ramos has been immense so far. @adexkola
I really liked Ajax, all attacking players. We'll see how long the gasoline lasts.
Kroos and Modric have to appear more. Maybe Ceballos in the second half.

He didn’t though, at all. He did that BEFORE the Tagliafico header, not after. After the header he doesn’t interfere with the play at all or stop Courtois from doing anything
Zagadou only 19? Looks like he could be another young CB to keep an eye on.
You mispelled his name!
It was a mess of a game, but there were wrong decisions on both sides. On the other hand, in the Inter tie almost all important decisions went against them. Although for some reason people remember it differently. Just look it up.
I have never rated him but, Schone is having himself a match.
Not the rules of the game pal, that’s just your opinion.
He doesn't impede Courtois because Courtois has no desire to try and get the ball cause he's fecked it.
Couldn’t agree more. They get everything in their favour. If they don’t they end up diving until the ref does.
So he's doing good. Alright, thanks mate.
Not the way it works, he could be making no contact whatsoever and still be interfering. Was the correct decision.
No, he isn’t. Otherwise every single goal where there’s an offside would be ruled out since he’d be on the goalkeeper’s eyesight and interfering with the play.
He doesn’t attempt to play the ball and he doesn’t in any block Courtois’ movement AFTER the header. It’s not offside.
Obstructing a goalkeeper's line of sight or movement is considered as Interfering with the play and an offside offense by the rule book
Cl is just a pathetic competition now . So hard to beat the big teams because the refs just won't let them lose. How can that decision be changed FFS
If you are talking about the infamous return leg, then it was like 3:1-5:1 to Barca in lucky calls, depending on how many penalties you think Chelsea should have gotten. The 1 call in Chelsea's favour was Abidal's red card, but I am not sure about that one even after seeing the replay countless times.
It is a bit more even over two legs, as Barcelona were not given a stonewall penalty at home. However, over two games, Chelsea undeniably had the worse of things when it comes to refereeing.
He's probably one of the best signings we could make for that position.
Yep, snorefest, what is the go with that lineup from Spurs? No Rose or Davies at LB? Im assuming both are injured but im sure I seen Rose names in the subs. No Llorente or Lamela? And 3CB's just sitting on the halfway line passing the ball back and forth between them.
You don’t know what you’re talking about with all due respect pal. He’s clearly active in that phase of play.
This is why i dont like VAR. Let the ref decide, its his game, and then judge him afterwards.
Dominating the game
Rose is not fully fit but, just fit enough to make the bench.
Ajax's pressing is incredible.
I just worry how long it will last.
Typical for Tottenham. Stand solid but in attack there is missing something. Dortmund slightly better overall. Let's see if they will be able to get the away goal.
Saying disgusting spin then spinning everything in Real favour. Only the title in 2014 Real won fair and square everything after that was with referees help. Ffs that shitty referee Kassai put his hand in the pocket with intent to give a 2nd yellow to Casemiro when he saw that it was casemiro and he has a yellow card he did nothing and five minutes later gives a 2nd yellow to vidal for a non existent foul. Ronaldo scoring from a 5 meters offside.
ok Real won the CL many times but please stop making excuses nobody is blind

Is the Ajax game good?
I've just made a coffee in an attempt to stay awake during ours. Not sure how many more times I can watch our centre backs sideways pass to each other, they should explore this as some sort of new form of torture.

I don’t understand. When he heads the ball he is interfering Curtois and blocking his movements, and he is doing that in an offside position.
Yes, Dele Alli and Harry Kane.
