I love you, you play my Trent: Liverpool 21/22

[two sheds]

Fucking hell that was lucky.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Nah, Alisson just well drilled in springing the offside trap.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Stadium gates not working and VAR not working .

tbf the linesman put the flag up straight away. In the olden days, that also wouldn't have been a goal.

Benzema fucked that up really (with the initial chance). Lucky Liverpool.

 

[belboid]

That was VAR working as I thought it should do - only overruling clear and obvious mistakes. If it was simply balance of probabilities, then it should have been overturned, but it wasn’t at all clear n obvious.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Modric has been anonymous so far. Will Real change it up or are they happy to play like this? Playing more like Atletico atm.

I thought they weren’t supposed to put the flag up straight away ? ( not that I agree with that )

They can when the ball is in the back of the net.

 

[friedaweed]

As long as the controversial decisions go our way who cares ?

 

[The39thStep]

Half time entertainment

 

[Petcha]

What a bizarre rule. Apparently it was ruled out because the last touch of the Liverpool player wasn't 'deliberate'. If it had been then the goal would have stood. Who can say whether it was deliberate?

 

[The39thStep]

What ever you do, don't

 

[friedaweed]

I was denied a goal in a 7 a-side game in similar circumstances on astroturf one night by a mate on the opposite side who was a referee.

I've not spoken to him since.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Glad to see the ex-players didn't know the rule, because I admit I didn't know it.

The VAR people probably went on a google lens search to get the answer tbh

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ooh, archetypal TAA ball in there, could see exactly what was coming as soon as the ball fell in his direction.

Shame Diaz couldn't quite get on the end of it.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Thinking about it, if the rule is "it has to be an intentional play back by the defending player" then it's possibly slightly odd it took so long to make the decision, as it clearly wasn't intentional either way.

Bother.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I really hate Real Madrid.

 

[Steel Icarus]

So frustrating.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Commentators tenting in their trousers about an ultra negative Madrid team

 

[Steel Icarus]

Nowhere near good enough tonight Trent

 

[Sasaferrato]

The Madrid keeper is awesome.

 

[friedaweed]

So frustrating.

Believe

 

[The39thStep]

The Madrid keeper is awesome.

Ex Chelsea

 

[Steel Icarus]

I can't handle this

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, Courtois has arguably been Madrid's most important player.

 

[sleaterkinney]

Nowhere near good enough tonight Trent

Lots of Hollywood bullshit.

[The39thStep]

Fair play to Real Madrid . They beat the World Champions , the Premiere League champions and the winner of both the English League Cup and FA Cup .

 

[izz]

Double bother.
