Champions League 2018/2019

Bit of a strange gesture after the defender hit the deck, but it is quite literally clutching at straws to suggest he pulled the lads hair.

Absolutely ridiculous that he got sent off for that. He basically ran his fingers through his hair lol

Are we watching the same video? That clip very clearly shows him grab the player's hair with his hand and pull it away.

You'd need fingers like tweezers to pull hair that short

Why Neymar will never come to the Premiership (or Yorkshire...)



'Ave it.

I've put it in here but VAR is coming to the CL next season

City struggling with Hoffenheim. Nagelsmann has always given Pep headaches. But it is amazing what you can implement with 11 actual footballers. He will be a different animal at RB next year. He needs to sort out those eyebrows and makeup though.

I'm watching - City wearing what looks like their Cadburys Double Decker kit - it's not great viewing but what makes it worse over here it the fact that it is Irish Yorkshireman Mick McCarthy is doing the co-commentary.

Such a droning whiney voice.

/\ That's on Virgin media here in ROI, also showing at 20.00 is the Man U versus Valencia on RTE2 free to air.

Walker could be gone on that challenge...wasn't great

 

[TheChosenOne]

McCarthy called that a great challenge by Walker - nothing wrong with it - until he saw the replay, then it was "awful" LOL

Juve just went up 3-0 on Young Boys. Dybala hatty. Shame though as I know Young Boys are a favorite of some on here... @Gb160

In Walkers 'defense' he didn't make contact with full force/straight legged but it coulda/shoulda been red.

Blatant penalty. What was the ref doing?

 

[heelspurs]

How's that not a pen? I want City to lose and all but that is quite Pen-y.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Nothing on the ball - got Sane 100%

 

[mark87]

Even the keeper knew it was a penalty.

Right! He got up like "Awww, man...".

Fair to say the folks on BlueMoon thought it was a pen. They're irate.

I'm not surprised they are, everyone on here would be going ape shit if that happened to us.

Definitely penalty. Starting to look like uefa aren’t too keen on Man City doing anything in this competition. Guardiola’s reaction if they don’t win will be worth watching I suspect.

Time for City to Nick a goal ...


..and as I type ... LOL

 

[heelspurs]

Look how Hoffenheim pass through and around the City press. Their right-sided CB sent a ball through 2 lines up to Kramaric earlier that most folks on this board would be screaming WC if Eriksen did the same. And they are missing 1 of their best players in Amiri and their captain in Vogt.
