Real Madrid v Bayern & Wednesday's other football

[Gladstone]

Clearly onside, zero justification for doing that.

It goes by what part of your body you can play the ball with so about the shirt line.

The hand doesn't count towards keeping someone onside.

Think he is just offside.

 

[Pacman]

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

Why do linesman even have flags now. That should've played on, anything that happened could've then been communicated through the ear pieces. Very murky decision

 

[JC85]

It wasn't offside.

Replay showed it was onside.

Going by the image posted above they're offside.

I know that mate. Maybe not clearly but certainly not clearly offside by any measure for the linesman to justify putting flag up either.

 

[SamEng]

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.

Was just going to post this too.

 

[Bknowe]

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

The ref had already blown. They can't .

OK so the ref has cocked it up then.

Linesmen putting their flags up usually still get checked but Bayern will be raging with that

 

[Rino100]

Laura Woods

Absolutely

 

[Pacman]

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

Maybe Chelsea was the game before it. I can remember it being a "thing" that Madrid were just destined to always win

 

[NUL bear]

Shocking - and I have to say- highly suspicious decision leading to an entirely predictable outcome

Hope Dortmund win - but won’t happen

 

[wd1872]

Bellingham saying he had no nerves.

What a guy. Cool as %^*&.

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

Bellingham actually had a poor game tonight, nothing seemed to come off.

He's still pretty decent, though

 

[Tpol_rfc]

Going by the image posted above they're offside.

Only the number 10 that'll count mate and he's further back than the boy that touched it.

 

[TheScotty]

Oh dear that’s a real shame for Bayern Munich that. So sad.

 

[Pacman]

Going by the image posted above they're offside.

Can't see the ball in that image

Laura Woods

All white for Real Madrid, I look forward to the day she does a Rangers game dressed like Geri Halliwell at the Brits!!

 

[Mview83]

None of your “aw I’m gutted I need to play dortmund” pish in Jude’s interview also

 

[WinkieWATP]

Same season mate. Think Chelsea was quarters, City semis

 

[JC85]

Can't see the ball in that image

It's from this. Offside by a knee/big toe etc. But still a shocker from the linesman.

[willowbankbear]

Take it I’m the only one who’s pleased Bayern are oot then ???

 

[tazzabear]

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.

Real Madrid fans will probably be bored senseless by it all.

 

[RFC81]

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

Think you're right. They scored a few late goals against Man City in that run as well.

 

[Pacman]

Cheers. Actually looks like the ball has left the passers foot by that image as well

Very difficult from a slight angle and looks like De Ligt might just be off but scandalous that the lino flagged something that tight in real time given some of the not close at all offsides they let go until the play stops these days.

I had a bet on bet365 that included Jude B having a shot on target that came up so I cashed out. I've just noticed they've deducted the winning amount from my balance and the bet is showing as unsettled and its now saying he didn't have a shot on target.I watched the game and was convinced he had.Anyone else having the same issue?

 

[DJ Blue]

Hargreaves trying to kiss Kane's arse.

 

[Pacman]

Same season mate. Think Chelsea was quarters, City semis

Yeah, think they were only ahead like 30 mins of the knockouts yet won the tournament

 

[WinkieWATP]

Hargreaves is absolutely bang on here. Taking Kane off was a fucking ludicrous decision.

 

[Mview83]

I think de Ligt is marginally off but the linesman should never have raised his flag as early and should have let the attack play out and then go to VAR

 

[Jaki Suds]

Well done Madrid - Bayern put to the sword

Dortmund next ~ bring it on

If you complain they’ll put you to zero, can’t leave people in debt now.

 

[tazzabear]

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

Yes, that really is misfortune.

Scandalous, hans, fritz, otto and tuchel should have walked onto the park to get that game stopped, officials are cheating here

 

[Pacman]

Take it I’m the only one who’s pleased Bayern are oot then ???

No fan of Bayern. They prob deserved to go through overall imo

 

[ssblue]

Going by the image posted above they're offside.

De Ligt is. Irrelevant.

Mazraoui is on. Relevant.

 

[doyle55]

The linesman should never be putting his flag up for a call that close.

 

[The Blue Iceberg]

Officials were outrageously bad tonight, obviously can't believe the last minute non var moment.

But the fact that the Madrid player never got booked for pushing the Munich player to the ground by the throat was truly Clancy/Collum/Robertson levels of corruption or incompetence.

 

[Donsky]

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

I’ll pop in the threads from time to time, but rarely watch it because it is typically the same old every year.

 

[tazzabear]

To be fair I think he is just offside.

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

Can’t see the ball there but, assuming the ball has just been played about a frame ago, the dark shirt looks slightly offside.

 

[Bazza1985]

Surely that have to release the semi-automatic decision from that one to prove the offside?

Mental the linesman flagged that tight decision, thinks he's got it right but flagging at that moment felt a bit fishy.

Reminded me of them 20 years ago tonight, dodgy as hell.

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Well done Madrid - Bayern put to the sword

Nah, this year is like the Tour De France.

Real Madrid done all the hard work in the earlier stages, now it's time for some Champagne and a leisurely stroll to victory in London in the final stage.

 

[MartinS93]

I think he's offside there, it's what will probably save the linesman

 

[tazzabear]

Great interview Bellingham

Crystal ball gif required .

 

[madrid-bear]

Just out of the stadium. What an atmosphere towards the end. Thought Madrid rode their luck at times and the ref made some decisions I thought were questionable but I would need to see them back. The Bayern manager completely fucked it with his subs in my opinion

 

[Kilwinnin Bluenose]

I think he's offside there, it's what will probably save the linesman

The guy who went for the ball first was onside IMO.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Yeah, think they were only ahead like 30 mins of the knockouts yet won the tournament

Did they not beat Chelsea quite convincingly at the bridge first leg?

 

[Bobby Russell's Perm]

VAR decisions tonight = instantly.
VAR decisions last Saturday = 4 minutes!!

 

[WLF]

Great interview Bellingham

Was he there tonight?

Can only be red carded if not seen at the time , can't say it was done with any malice more play acting than anything else still a foul all the same.
