2023/24 Champions League

[Misfit]

Oh come on. That’s not funny

If they did themselves a mischief trying to do someone else a mischief, I'd quite literally chuckle.

Har har hoo hoo.

They could always simply stop being dirty bastards...

White, Havertz, Saka. all divers, all cheats.

and yet their fans really can't see it?!

 

[Buggsy61]

Keown is unhinged. Makes a dig at Kane for scoring a legitimate penalty, but nothing regarding Sakas despicable behaviour. What a chimp!

Used to actually like Saka as well. Lost a lot of respect for him over this season and tonight especially.

There was zero need to do it?! He was past Neuer with the goal gaping. He goes down, fakes an injury and apparently goes after the ref. Kids look up to him as well. Great role model that is.

I love to bash Saka, so by all means carry on - but this is a team ethos, and Saka is just one of the team. Every single player on that squad has that same mentality - go down on slightest contact and exaggerate contact/injuries.

 

[Guernman]

if Maddison's "punch" was violent conduct, then so was Saka's kick on Neuer...

 

[Shanks]

Tbf I thought it was a pen watching it live, then saw the replay, more of a foul on the keeper than the other way round!

I’d be more annoyed at Saka just staying up and scoring.

ian Wright tweeted exactly that too

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Honestly I'm happy they've dedicated their club to an ideology that would rather cheat when it's easier to score.

Credit to the ref. Brave decision.

The ref is Swedish and in the Swedish league we don't have VAR.

He has his faults like any other ref but at least he is used to making his own decisions on the pitch.

VAR would never have taken that goal away had it been given in the first place IMO.

Keown still whining about it.

“9 out of 10 referees would give a penalty.”

9 out of 10 wrong ones, Martin.

He tweeted that on the 1st January

Well.... There's always that 1 who won't

 

[Scot-Spur]

Embarrassing they both think it’s a pen

And that's why the 1 out of 10 are in the CL quarterfinals.

 

[rebrab]

Ironic, gooners always said Kane was an Arsenal fan but clearly Saka loved Klinsmann growing up

 

[Joe Bjorn Hotspur]

Literally this before going down like a sack of spuds. TNT ramping it up.

Going down is one thing and every club does it. But it's the feigning injury and going after a ref for seeing right through it that tops it off for me.

I genuinely believe that was not a pen for Saka. The ref got it spot on. However had that happened in the premier League that pen would be given. Why are the officials not as strong in prem?

 

[Buggsy61]

the Saka non penalty reminded me of the Schumacher incident in the 82 WC.
Trail a leg against him and there would be nothing left of Saka apart from elbows and toenails!.

Keown is unhinged. Makes a dig at Jabe for scoring a legitimate penalty, but nothing regarding Sakas despicable behaviour. What a chimp!

A Chimp would be offended. Keown is a caveman who’s come out of the permafrost for the night.

The CL gets the best refs from all of Europe. Of course a CL QF ref is better than the average PL ref.
