Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Kantareller]

Why no VAR check?

I saw no contact

GK's hand was on him, but deffo not with enough force to drag him down. More like a slap.

Turbo snide is Son

Barcelona in meltdown after Lionel Messi hits back at Eric Abidal

Barcelona are in turmoil after Lionel Messi accused sporting director Eric Abidal of tarnishing the players’ reputation

All falling apart at Barca

messi is so arrogant, his poor leadership for me is why he is the 2nd best player of his generation

The funny thing is they've been worse than under Poch, but football is a dumb game where teams can go 5 or 6 games without playing well and still get results. They were battered by City who couldn't finish and even tonight were outshot 15-9 by Saints at home.

thing is he is round him with an open goal, but his instinct is to cheat

I mean, if his subs did turn it around then it’s on him.

As opposed to Ronaldo's selfless example?

Leadership at Barca is a problem that someone needs to push to fix fwiw.

Ronaldo is a vastly superior leader in my opinion, I know the media narritive that him loves himself etc etc but on the pitch for club and country he is a fighter who tries to get the best out of everyone. Would have him over the little shoulder shrugger every day of the week

Can't believe we won those last two games.

Onwards and upwards.

Suit yourself I guess. Messi's consistency week in and week out is why his team win the league every year. I value that highly.

Players go down now and strikers are clever enough to exploit a possibility where doing so may bring a pen. Whether that's a dive or not a player absolutely must go down to win a pen and most know it and will anticipate contact even if the result in is either minimal or no contact at all.

Can you blame the players as what happens when you're legitimately contacted and stay on you're feet?

Ask Theo Walcott a few games back

The referees severely punish players who are 'fair' and desperately try to stay on their feet, no pen hard luck you stupid mug is their message.

Blame Son, not me not one bit.

The var official can sometimes be powerless if the ref has a clear view of the incident and rules on it anyway even if the ref makes an absolute clanger. Theo Walcott and many others know it too well.

It's not though is it, otherwise argentina would have won a pot. No one way ronaldo bottles it at the world cup, roma and anfield like messi did
