Wth - looked like Chiwell was in the box first - that’s a load of **** even if he was nudged

Wth - looked like Chiwell was in the box first - that’s a load of **** even if he was nudged

I think this is a *right call, bad rule* situation

The kick is retaken either way under the rule, but they seem to only call it on misses/saves.

 

[The Gator]

Ollie Palmer in the 6th minute and Wrexham have a 0-1 lead at Dag&Red.

Won 0-4 and now four points clear of Notts Co at the top.

Even if the offensive player is in the box first? I think there’s an argument Chilwell was pushed but seemed obvious to me he was in there first - but I’ll be honest, I have no clue what the actual rule is.

I think the rule when both teams encroach is its a retake, whether the first kick was made or missed. Agree that Chilwell was in the area first.

Game in hand converted to three points, nice

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Rog - “do it for Everton Mo”

 

[gianmarco]

Filthy late equalizer for Durkin

 

[gianmarco]

What a start for STL City. Go down by a goal in first 3 minutes away at Portland and come back to win 2-1 and improve to 3-0, sitting in sole possession of 1st place. The only team in MLS with 3 wins. They've also tied Seattle as the only expansion teams to win their first 3 in a row.

Crazy.

 

[B Maverick]

Amazingly bad weekend for the refs and VAR.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Haaland is pretty good

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Leipzig getting outplayed but on the wrong end of two major calls that were questionable.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Grealish what a doosh

 

[CGRdrJoe]

wow, Haaland is wild. 38 goals through all competition for Citeh this year and more to come for sure. He may put up a double hat trick

 

[CGRdrJoe]

welp, minutes later and there is 5

 

[titusbramble]

The only redeeming thing with this is that Leipzig are the single team in the competition who are less likable than City

 

[B Maverick]

Leipzig getting outplayed but on the wrong end of two major calls that were questionable.

Whoever is doing the play by play on Eurosport agrees with you.

"First City goal was never a penalty, the second one came following a blatant foul, and Ederson somehow got away with charging Laimer. I've no idea how VAR allows this"

 

[B Maverick]

welp, minutes later and there is 5

make it 6

Sorry, 5 for Halaand, 6 for City

Surprised he came off. Tied with Messi and Adriano with 5 goals in a cl game, thought he would go for 6...

Got to save him for Burnley at the weekend, who even we put five past

 

[El Floppo]

Filthy late equalizer for Durkin

Damn... Durkin. He was my great hope for the US at the 6. Really thought he had all the translatable tools in the yutes to make the leap. Had totally forgotten about him.

Filthy?

 

[prefontaine]

So Austin up 2-0 with 30 minutes to go in CCL needing to win by 4. One more goal at least pushes this to extra time. This is happening.

 

[prefontaine]

wow! even with 10 minutes of stoppage, Austin is unable to put home a 3rd and Violette AC (Haiti) is through to the quarters

 

[B Maverick]

Another game, some more bad calls by a ref.

I don't think I've ever seen a player booked for as clean a tackle as Pellestri just did.

 

[B Maverick]

Not really sure what game the ref is watching but it isn't Betis v United

 

[B Maverick]

United, Juve are through
Feyenoord are through 8-2 on aggregate after a 7-1 win
Sevilla trying to hold on to their 2-1 agg with 9 mins of Fergie time.

 

[AAABatteries]

Ramsdale giveth and he taketh away. Great save after getting beating by a ridiculous midfield shot from Sporting player.

He took that one on the chin, and I don't mean that metaphorically on the goal.....

 

[McBokonon]

Gimme gimme gimme a striker from Sweden

 

[Desert_Power]

Southampton's LB forgot he was playing that position

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Wrexham at Bromley scoreless at HT. Gotta get all three points today to protect their small cushion at the top of the table.

2-0 Wrexham just like that. Notts County being held to a draw with about 20 minutes left.

 

[NewlyRetired]

I can't help myself

"Haaland won't be able to handle the big strong defenders in England!!!!!!!"

Another friggan hat trick today.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Haaland has more hat tricks at Etihad Stadium than he has games he has not scored at the same venue. Holy hell...................

Conte going all out in the press conference today trying to secure his position by playing nice

============================

"They're used to it here. Don't play for something important. They don't want to play under pressure. They don't want to play under stress.

"Tottenham's story is this. Twenty years there is the owner and they never won something. Why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here. I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench.

"It is time to change this situation if Tottenham want to change. If they want to continue in this way, they can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change. Believe me."

I’d say blaming the refs may be a better strategy having actually watched that game.

 

[AAABatteries]

Thiago Almada with his 3 ridiculous goal of the year. This one was so insanely far out that we never thought he’d even go for goal.

 

[AAABatteries]

Price should just keep going up but I don’t see anyway he’s not sold this summer.

And should bring a record return I would expect.

 

[gianmarco]

STL City sets the record with 4 wins to start as an expansion. Small sample, but they are not a team you want to face. Just relentless and aggressive and keep taking shots whenever they can.

Keeper has to do better but look how far out he is and he put it on a dime.

Doyle for SHU with a laser to put them up 3-2 late - hoping they hold on for our gb @titusbramble

 

[titusbramble]

That was liquid football

Bank balance isn't going to like Norwich and Wembley in the same month but we'll cross that bridge later

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Keeper has to do better

I was ready to see something bad, but that's just a great shot.

 

[titusbramble]

Well bollocks. Couldn't we have got Brighton?

 

[bigbottom]

LET’S GO ROMA!!!!

 

[bigbottom]

Well, that was terrible.

 

[AAABatteries]

Maguire is horrible

 

[AAABatteries]

Thats a red and a penalty.

Willian handles it on the line

 

[AAABatteries]

Mitrovic is being an idiot

 

[AAABatteries]

Oh wow - he got sent off too. 3 reds in 2 minutes. Fulham were the better side until now - sucks for their fans if this goes as expected but they only have themselves to blame as it was the correct call

 

[AAABatteries]

Well, that didn’t take long - 2-1 United!
