Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

Why? Maybe the penalty they had getting overturned was harsh, but it was handball and Johnstone was off his line. Those are the laws.

This is the thing though - they don't get a decision and its "harsh", but the law must be rigorously applied the other way around. Is there anyone here who thinks that if it had been Maguire not facing the ball and it hitting his arm that it would have been given?

Wasn’t there a foul on a WBA player in the build up to the handball?

Looked like it. But won't be discussed

Dortmund have given a debut to Youssoufa Moukoko, DOB 20/11/2004.

Penalties should be hard to save so I've no problem with that one.

Players shouldn't be allowed to block crosses/shots with their arms so I have no problem with that one.

What's ridiculous?

I think a lot of the problem is that people got so used to these laws not being enforced that they're all mad about it now.

The stutter in the run up is an attempt to trick the keeper into moving early. Its nothing to do with skill or ability and shouldn't be allowed. The keeper has no chance with it.

United got a penalty did they? What a surprise.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Should be deliberate handball rule for me - not a players fault if someone blasts a ball at your arm or hand

We've gotten to used to players having their arms anywhere they feel like and claiming it isn't deliberate. That was handball.

Honestly, how lucky can one team be when it comes to the awarding of, overturning of and scoring penalties at the second attempt. Madness.

The only way to save football is if you all stop watching, i can't bare it anymore, and constantly read crap like this. United are relegation material, they're top half purely because of refs, what an embarrassment this "sport" is, how can any of you actually watch it anymore?

I've not watched a single game this weekend and only followed live updates and had mates texting me whats been going on - whole thing is a farce now.

They'll get away with it until fans are back in the stadiums then It'll boil over at one point and they'll decide eventually to change how the rules/VAR.

Haaland is up to 4 for the day in Berlin

Worlds best striker?

I sort of agree but I still wouldn't change the law. Pens should be hard to save.

 

[Blue Shoes]

if I was Bilic I'd be sorely tempted to take the team off at this point

Managers have to do this, as soon as they all start doing this they'll clean up the game. Honestly, what's the point in moaning after the game like they all do? The game has gone, the fa are happy the rich club has won, fans who hand select their club are happy.

Imagine having 10 games a season forfeited, it'd be brilliant.

Turn my attention to one dungeon on WoW and the Dortmund game has gone from 2-1 to 5-2

 

[TheBigIguana]

Worlds best striker?

Still Lewandowski for me and then you have to figure out what position you think someone like Mbappe plays but he is right there.

Fixed for you.

of course it won't - nor will it be mentioned that he should be suspended for this game
