Yeah I thought it was marginally outside the box. Could argue either way on it. Can certainly see why it wasn’t given because you can’t give something if you can’t see the contact clearly and it would have been hard to see. But equally if it was deemed a foul it wouldn’t have been an injustice.
Eamon Dunphy now suggesting that association football should have an action replay committee for contentious decisions based at Cliftonville’s Solitude stadium. Given modern technology it makes sense to have everything done centrally I guess.
Not a dive but not a foul either. Sometimes it’s just play on, which is what happened.
Correct.
Sahin is on the bench tonight, does that not contravene regulations given he is on loan from Madrid or is it a private stipulation between the clubs. Madrid obviously lacked the foresight to see this fixture coming.
Presume it is the latter, you may recall Fernando Morientes eliminating Real from the Champions League back in 2004 while on loan at Monaco
Oh yeah.
Ah lovely
Ah lovely. I was certain it was offside and was waiting for it to be disallowed. All’s well that ends well however.
It is indeed the latter. Also it’s an 18 month loan deal so less restrictive you’d imagine.
Lewandowski again.
That was a brilliant chance for Ozil just before that goal - unusually poor touch from him.
Still no replay?
Great call by the linesman.
Definitely on alright. Lazy line from Madrid.
Rocko, you would know better, is Gundogan left or right footed. Watching him on the ball it is hard to tell as he is so comfortable on both
Yeah - often criticised but that looked off for all the world and he got it right.
Beautiful finish by Lewandowski.
He is nominally right-footed Chewy. Moravcikesque in his comfort both sides though. I laboured under the illusion he was left-footed for quite a while.
I hope Mourinho doesn’t leave a Champions League legend like Kaka on the bench tonight.
Oh wow. What feet and what a fucking goal.
