Champions League 2017-18

I've seen so many reporters saying Oliver will never referee a big match again. So now we're stopping referees careers for making the correct decision?

Public enemy number 1 for cutting Buffon's final European outing short in such drama.

Did the referee who correctly sent of Zidane in the WC final get this criticism?

I don't remember it, but that ref was retiring from internationals after that match. Oliver is in a position to be England's #1 for the next 10 years and should be in prime position for the 2022 and 2026 World Cups.

It was a penalty.

How do I know this I hear you ask.

Simply put...

Because I saw Ronaldo score from the feckin spot kick.

Just seen this video of multiple Juve players trying fuck up the penalty spot in the intervening minutes before the penalty’s taken. I’ve seen the odd player do it here and there, but my do Juve take the dark arts to a new level. Also love Sir Asensio, protector of penalty spots, being a good little helper and patting it down every time.

Sergio Ramos may face another suspension because of his actions during the game last night. Spotted in the players tunnel during the last minutes of the game. Surprised he wasn't escorted by the 4th official to the stands. Stood there and gesticulated towards the ref also

Not quite up there with T Henry coming from the stands in street clothe onto the pitch to have a little dance after Adebayor scored against us.

The only mistake he made was not giving Benatia a second yellow.

Great find

What would people be saying if Vasquez had gone for the easy header and been kicked in the head/face for his troubles?

Based on what happened in a match thread on here earlier this season, I imagine a decent number would say "he shouldn't have lowered his head".

At least all their hard word to ruin that penalty spot proved worthwhile.

Now I feel like checking very missed penalty kick.....

someone load the one Kane ballooned.

Seriously. A lot of games-men-ship going on. Shows how important it is not to get caught in the heat of the moment. Just have to maturity to pick up the ball And reset everything the way u want it. Shows how much of a professional the Madrid team are. They know what's gonna happen. They just step back and wait for everyone to clam down and got back to business. On the flip side, Juve also did their best to make the spot kick as tough as possible.

Political reasons, juventus’ owner or chairman is the current head of the European club association and has a lot of power in Uefa, Buffon could well go on the be involved in Uefa as well so. Oliver made the right calls but football’s so corrupt it could ruin his career at the top level. Sad really

That one was down to Virgil Van Dick who kicked up the turf for that one.

He was caught and booked by Bobby Madely against Arsenal for doing the same thing a few weeks earlier.

Apparently Roma's website accidently displayed tickets for Liverpool vs Roma before removing them

 

[Cheltenham Spur]

Hoping Liverpool get Real. They will hopefully get stuffed and Real can use the opportunity for to tap up Salah.

 

[cwy21]

Even this morning I was thinking how tasty a Barca/Real semi would be. Sorry Roma, even I still don't believe what happened.
