Real Madrid v Bayern & Wednesday's other football

[Tpol_rfc]

Linesman made a James Hunt of it

Knew what he was doing. Absolute joke that was.

 

[Cooper's left peg]

New villas for the ref and linesman there

Linesman now owns Ibiza !

 

[muttley]

Can Rudiger’s hand play him on?

Not sure why the lino flags as that is tight.

That's what it looked like to me.

The Madrid player's arm was stretched out. ?

 

[SimonLeBon]

Why in the world is the ref blowing the whistle there? There are times an absolutely ridiculous amount of time goes before whistling it for offside and that was given immediately

It's called cheating.

 

[Pacman]

Real Madrid are absolute jammy bastards. Any time they need a goal in the closing moments, they will get it; nothing more certain.

Didn't they win the champions League a couple years ago by only scoring goals in the last few minutes in their knockout game Think Chelsea were going to knock them out and Madrid scored a couple at the end

 

[Barca Bear]

why wasn’t that allowed to play on?

Pressure

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Is that a massive lump on Diers head or just mud?

Plaster by the looks of it.

 

[scottishcampbell]

VAR guy sweating his baws off right now trying to get the lines working in his favour,sound familiar ?

 

[venturablue]

 

[The U.S. Male]

looked offside but think ref lost the plot at the end there - should have let play carry on and to add an extra 6 minutes on when he said 2, I think he lost track of time.

 

[SDF91]

A brilliant game that didn’t deserve that controversy at the end. Unbelievably poor from the linesman. Bayern have every right to be raging.

 

[rossgers]

The desperation and ruthlessness to win of Real is pretty admirable. We need to get that back.

 

[BSOI]

Knew what he was doing. Absolute joke that was.

A typical knew camp decision

 

[WLF]

Wow. Real Madrid in another European final. Predictable as it is boring.

People say the CL still has the excitement, but what’s exciting about seeing the same team win it all the time

 

[G33]

That's why VAR is so important IMO. I know it can be slow (will get quicker), but it gets offsides correct and almost eliminates human error, like we just saw there.

 

[Alpinebear]

Does Pat Nevin agree or disagree!

I think the linesman got that just about right. I'm not even sure the player he flagged offside was offside. I think they've got it wrong, De Ligt was offside but he wasn't the one that got the ball.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

VAR guy sweating his baws off right now trying to get the lines working in his favour,sound familiar ?

Trying desperately to find a Bayern foul before it

 

[Bknowe]

Var should have been looking at that

Sit fucking down StinkieWATP

Well Played

 

[Gibby926]

Harry Kane showing his grandchildren his silverware from his playing days

 

[Arkanoid]

Is it the Bayern no.10?
His right knee against the defenders right heel, far too tight to be blowing early with no review

 

[SpandauBear]

That decision at the end gave a sour taste to an otherwise epic semi final.

Why blow the whistle so early? Baffling decision.

 

[Holytown_loyal]

That wasn’t offside lol. Referees have had a nightmare there

I blame the linesman not the referee he should have kept the flag down referee was only acting on his trust from linesman

 

[Bouncebackability]

Some stadium, you’d think the players were clapping at the roof but it’s just the top tier

 

[Mal3]

Wow. Real Madrid in another European final. Predictable as it is boring.

Yep, the thought of a Dortmund Bayern final in the UK brilliant too. But most likely a Real win the in final, boring as you say.

 

[RoxburghGer]

That's woeful from the linesman guess they can't do anything after the ref stops play but that's a poor decision.

Did the referee actually stop play? I missed that bit. I've seen loads of times pre VAR where a flag went up but the referee overruled it and let play carry on

 

[WinkieWATP]

I blame the linesman not the referee he should have kept the flag down referee was only acting on his trust from linesman

Still shouldn’t blow his whistle till the ball goes dead

[Ian1872]

Hopefully Madrid get fucked over in the final now. Cutting about in top with 15 on them after a semi win?

Birthday caird pish.

 

[JC85]

I think it's probably just offside but it's absolutely scandalous that he put the flag up.

 

[DJ Blue]

Var should have been looking at that

The Ref had already blew the whistle before the ball was put in the net.

 

[Holytown_loyal]

Still shouldn’t blow his whistle till the ball goes dead

The linesman shouldn't flag so he's to blame

 

[london_bluenose]

Var should have been looking at that

The ref had already blown. They can't .

 

[TBagg]

Didn't they win the champions League a couple years ago by only scoring goals in the last few minutes in their knockout game Think Chelsea were going to knock them out and Madrid scored a couple at the end

They did it to City in the semi 2 years ago, two goals in the last two minutes to take it to extra time

 

[TQ3]

Two great semi finals. Taking Kane off was mad, you can’t think a 1 goal lead is enough at the Bernabéu. Crazy from Tuchel.
That’s said they were robbed by the linesman in that final minute or so.

 

[Pol1_]

Let the laddie go and celebrate with his team ffs

Biggest game of his career

 

[Gladstone]

To be fair I think he is just offside.

But the ref shouldn't have put his flag up.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

Clearly onside, zero justification for doing that.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Rudiger is a fucking nutcase, randomly running about the pitch with a chair

 

[theryesider]

Seriously flawed win, how that at the end never went to review is unbelievable.
Don’t think the hand counts mind you, still tight.

 

[Albert Bridge Bear]

Should just do away with linesmen

 

[bkerr72]

Did the referee actually stop play? I missed that bit. I've seen loads of times pre VAR where a flag went up but the referee overruled it and let play carry on

Yeah the whistle went just after Muller's header.

 

[JHDaaron]

incredible end to the game

 

[RoxburghGer]

Yeah the whistle went just after Muller's header.

Ah fair enough

 

[Cooper's left peg]

Bellingham saying he had no nerves.

What a guy. Cool as %^*&.

What a life he has. At the age of 20 !!

 

[JC85]

Clearly onside, zero justification for doing that.

It's not clearly onside? It's probably just off.

 

[ssblue]

I think it's probably just offside but it's absolutely scandalous that he put the flag up.

It wasn't offside.

Replay showed it was onside.

 

[G74Bear]

Great interview Bellingham

 

[Flesher's Haugh]

Well Played

Cheers Winkie

The English media will be pushing the St Jude v Hitler narrative from now till the final
