Europa League 2017/2018

[Savant]

Mustafi probably should have been booked (based on the Vrsaljko yellows), but who else?

Ramsey. His leg was up way too high.

 

[hatterson]

Yea Ramsey and Mustafi were the two that should have had it based on the standard.

Lacazette too based on a dive, but that's a separate issue.

 

[KJS14]

Ramsey. His leg was up way too high.

For what lol? The challenge where he beat Correa to the ball by a country mile??

Laca could have been booked for simulation. Forgot that.

 

[Cassano]

Pathetic display. They played better when there were 11 men.

 

[Pouchkine]

Yea, I said that as soon as I saw his reaction to an Atletico player coming up to him after the sending off. It was the turn and glare like he's challenging the player to do something.

A good ref doesn't try to escalate the situation, this ref clearly seemed like he was doing that.

Now that I would agree and after the two correct yellow he has had a bizarre time.

That half summed up why Wenger was going to be sacked.

It was a dangerous play. With as high as his leg was. It was an ugly tackle, and yellow by the standards that the ref set

 

[Pouchkine]

Mustafi yellow for sure and Lacazette for the dive.

 

[Pouchkine]

Arsenal are really poor though. I still think Atletico will take this game.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

That was some disgraceful refereeing.

I couldn't disagree more. The Atletico player had a dangerous high leg play and there was no yellow. Ramsey completely beat Correa to the ball and was sliding with his leg out.

 

[hatterson]

Also, what did Simeone get sent off for. All I saw was him yelling from the sideline but didn't see him come on the pitch at all.

Are you serious?

According to Spanish lip readers on twitter, basically called the ref a mother f***er.

It's definitely a foul.

2nd yellow is 50/50 by the letter of law it's probably a sending off but in context you'd think the ref would have some discretion.

Atleti will go through. I don't see how Arsenal are playing though 180 minutes they come out with a result. They're playing against 10 and still giving glorious chances.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Simeone should be sent off... coaches get sent off for far less

 

[KJS14]

Not sure what he might have said, but I've seen Wenger sent to the stands for merely kicking a water bottle. Probably not completely deserved again.

 

[Pouchkine]

What always makes me laugh in those situations, is why nobody is talking about the clueless plays by Vrsaljko?

 

[HoseEmDown]

Let's talk about the handball goal by Marseille vs Salzburg. Very close to call as it's close to the body and head so not sure it would change anything. I just want to see an underdog win one of these cups so I'm going for Salzburg and they will need all the help they can get.

 

[Pouchkine]

Marseille are an underdog if you talk about winning it. No French team has ever won the Uefa-Europa.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

This ref is more interested in fighting with the players... than protecting them. He might be in a bad mood.

 

[KJS14]

Atletico is more interested in wasting time and diving than trying to score on an Arsenal team that they very well could beat despite having 10 men.

They look like they'd rather draw a yellow than score a goal.

 

[Evilo]

Noticed it's Turpin who's reffing Arsenal/Atletico.

Yeah the guy is moody. Can be excellent or terrible. Seems that's a bad day for him.

 

[Evilo]

OM/Salzburg ref is also very bad.
Sarr just jumped and headed a ball while a Salzburg played tried to chop his head off with his foot (almost touched Sarr's head really).
He called foul on Sarr and actually booked him because the Salzburg player jumped to the ground showing his hurt foot...
If Sarr had fainted being hit, the other guy could have been red carded in fact.

The only goal had Thauvin's head touching the ball, but to be fair, I never noticed it live, and needed 2 replays to be sure.

Finally.
