GWT: Champions League R16 First Legs

[Scandale du Jour]

What?
Is it so funny that you guys wrote an entire page of dissing Vinicius while it wasn't him?

Dissing Vinicius is always warranted, even when it was not him.

Love Mendy though.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Speaking of Vini... another bottled chance.

Love Mendy though.

To be fair, the Real team playon that foul was great and Vini made a tremendous pass to Mendy.

 

[Power Man]

Gladbach should start taking some risks

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Ohhhhh Rafa... so close

 

[hatterson]

Catchup up on the first half. That's an awful, awful red card. Inexcusable for VAR to not intervene.

 

[Blender]

Wow that was a horrible decision.

 

[Peen]

Count me in as seeing the highlight and thinking that’s harsh

But I don’t think it’s too ridiculous from the refs pov. Maybe he thought the tackle was from behind, in which you have to make that call then.

VAR should have stepped in and said to have a look though

If the official thought it was from behind he shouldn't be officiating a CL game.

 

[Power Man]

Wow

Plea almost scored a golazo

 

[Peen]

If the official thought it was from behind he shouldn't be officiating a CL game.

I can see why he made the mistake live from his POV, honestly.

Key word - mistake.

 

[StevenF1919]

That was a borderline red and I can see it going either way. But to not even go to VAR is absolutely shocking. Once again, Real Madrid playing by different rules in the CL.

 

[Power Man]

That's why when in doubt, check VAR

Sure if you pause it after the foul. But look at it when the foul occured:

As I said, if an official in the position he is in (which could not be better) thinks that's from behind, he should be reffing in the CL.

 

[Power Man]

I wonder if Pep calls his players in the middle of the night to tell themwhat they could have done better

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Atalanta just hanging around.... madrid should be weary of a sucker punch.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I wonder if Pep jackson

yes

 

[hatterson]

What an awful official. How in the world do you lecture a player who is already on a yellow about diving and not book him.

He's already on a yellow that's the only reason i think.

Maybe that’s not when he thought the foul occurred though?

Like - I’m in agreement that it’s a yellow card after seeing the replay and being able to see where you paused it.

I just wish we could have seen a simulation from the refs pov or something to understand why he might have done what he did.

Still shambles from VAR to not intervene.

 

[Halladay]

Nice shot.

 

[hatterson]

Awful for Atalanta. Shouldn't have been sent down to 10 men and then when Real should have been the ref lets them off easy and they score 5 minutes later.

Are you surprised? Real Madrid have needed questionable reffing decisions to advance in the CL for the last 10 years now.

 

[Power Man]

Ooooooof Rodri almost gave Gladbach hope

What a save by Ederson

 

[StevenF1919]

With neutral reffing, I think Atalanta wins the next match and advances.
