If it takes four minutes to spot a clear and obvious error, then it's not clear.

now they have issued a statement saying that they will reword the handball rule.
This will be fun.

The replies in the third of these raise very relevant points.

You couldn’t make it up.

Still don't understand the handball decision under the current laws of the game, I can't understand how you can determine that is deliberate.

Exactly BD. It’s highly subjective.

Shocking news from Germany - fingers crossed the guy makes a full and speedy recovery.

Apparently the assault took place within the stadium so one can only hope UEFA grow a pair and take any action necessary.

Disgraceful.

City fan in critical condition after CL tie

There has been a little media coverage of this but not much.
Contrast with the blanket coverage and daily updates when the poor Liverpool fan from Ireland was poleaxed by a Roma fan.
Can only conclude it’s a City fan so it’s not newsworthy.

When the Liverpool fan was hurt it was headline news if I recall.

The institutional bias in the media is laid bare by the contrast in coverage

Exactly my point Skoorb. There’s no other explanation except bias.

Oh, and Skoorb, kudos for digging yourself out of your sickbed to wear your 2012 tee-shirt to ensure we came away from Schalke with the win.
I trust it wasn’t only the shirt you were wearing.

Ederson to Sterling to in the net!
Should be shown again and again and again... you get my drift.
VAR should have had nothing to do with the penalty decision.
It was clearly not a penalty and should have been left to the referee to decide.

The shirt of the last minute winner! And no, it was not the only item of clothing I was wearing :eek!:

Absolutely, Col. Fingers crossed.

Let's hope the wheels of Germanic Justice will deliver a suitable punishment (subject of course to the due process of the law and a finding of guilt).

 

[Rising]

Yes, let’s hope there’s no shirkin’ in Gelsenkirchen.
