GWT: CL Match Day 1

[Jussi]

So unless that CR 7 red gets turned over/reduced, he'll miss the Old Trafford game...

 

[East Coast Bias]

I posted that on the live shot. The replay makes it even worse.

I would have lost my mind on the receiving end of that. Laughable.

He'll miss both United games I think.

I mean, that has to get overturned though... You'd think.

They play matchday 3 and 4, so yea if it's not reduced he'd miss both.

 

[StevenF1919]

Guess which one of these was a yellow and which was a red.

 

[Theokritos]

I have seen a couple of replays now, but I still have no idea what Ronaldo got the red card for.

 

[Jussi]

Now that I saw it, I think Juve might have a case for an appeal.

All BT Sports studio guys played with Ronaldo at United and they all said he can get a bit nippy(?) or something.

 

[Venkman]

Young Boys unlucky to be losing. Great finish by Pogba and a terrible penalty call. So far, Fred is making me miss Anderson.

 

[les Habs]

Ronaldo got carded because he pulled the opposition player's hair. Ronaldo being Ronaldo couldn't control himself and his ego. I'd say what he did constitutes violent conduct. It may be a minor instance of it, but still technically violent conduct.

That top video is clearly altered.

As the overwhelming majority of those who posted an opinion on it, I also think that’ll get overturned and he’ll get no further suspension.

No, it's not.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Looks like he actually did pull his hair based off of that angle they just showed.

Wasn't just a simple rub of the head.

 

[Prntscrn]

Isco with a free kick goal that looked as effortless as Messi's yesterday. Madrid needed that considering the excellent chances they created early on weren't coming so easily anymore.

Great free kick but gotta wonder why they put a midget in prime position in the wall..

 

[les Habs]

No, it's not.

That does nothing to suggest otherwise.

Clearly looks that way.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Seems like Ronaldo pulled his hair for a split second, going by this replay atleast

Petulant lmao

 

[les Habs]

Yeah, a better wall might have stopped that. Still pretty effortless take. I think Madrid looked like winning all along, but their chances weren't as good as the half wore on and with Ramos on a yellow you never know what might happen. Still even with 10 men I could see them winning this.

OK, City might win this game, for all I care, the point will stand.

Where are all the posters yesterday talking trash about L1?
Saying PSG couldn't win because they were not facing good enough opposition?
Weren't used to teams that were pressing them (like Lyon is pressing City in midfield)?
Saying draws and reffing are excuses but rather than low level "farmers" league was the reason for PSG's failure to win the CL?
Also saying EPL bottom teams were so far better than L1 bottom teams it was not comparable.
And also that yesterday's result means Liverpool is a better team than PSG and thus drew conclusions from one single game.

Now, Lyon finished so far from PSG last year it was not even funny.
This year, they've struggled, grabbed a late tie in Caen last weekend.
Caen was more dangerous to Lyon than City today.
If you get the chance, get a look at the Guingamp/PSG game. Guingamp is last in the league with 0 point. In the first half, Guingamp dominated PSG. Like Liverpool couldn't do yesterday. PSG won because of individual brilliance from Mbappe, that's all.

Of course, teams don't play the same way in Europe. But this should teach a lesson to all these posters commenting on a league they're not even watching (even though I know it won't).

EDIT : Forgot the soon to be dominant Serie A team so vastly superior to the french top 4 teams.

 

[StevenF1919]

He didn't pull his hair.

 

[hatterson]

Honestly I thought his kickout at the beginning of the play was worse than the hair thing

 

[Live in the Now]

He did barely pull some hair, but the extent of what he did shouldn't be worth a red card. Still he is 33 and should know better than to pull hair like a little girl.

Farmers.

He didn't pull his hair.

Then what did he do? If he isn't pulling his hair it looks like he's scratching him. Same call.

Tapping someone on the head to get up isn't a red card.

Like I said, if he did that's technically violent conduct. One can argue the degree, but it's by definition violent conduct.

Damn, farmer hit the post instead of making it 3-0.
