If you're going to dissalow a goal for the slightest pull then any contact where you don't get the ball is a penalty. **** muppet 

Absolutely nailed it! Bailey's goal was chalked off for something minimal. That guy completely made no contact with the ball and tripped Bailey - it was a clear pen. The fact VAR didn't look at it is baffling.

Serious? That's **** mad

The TNT commentary said they have a screen that tells them if VAR are checking something and nothing came up

Not been following the thread, but would I get crucified if I said that objectively I think the ref has been quite strong?

Do you mean wrong?

We complain about the refs in the Prem a lot but most of the refs we've had in this competition have been complete garbage.

Get Zaniolo on for Diaby at HT and get Rodgers through the middle

Diaby did brilliant for our goal. He can find good spaces in that area, we just need to get quick balls forward like we ended the half.

Imagine Olympiakos will try and slow it down and drop off 2nd half, less of a high press because 2-1 would be great result for them.

The fans need to be motivated and they were in that last 5 minutes, hence, the noise. Olsen not at fault for neither goal, don't just criticise him because it's the easy thing to do.

We can win this.

Luiz is shit. Sold for me in the summer.

He's been poor for a couple of months now compared to the standards he's capable of but this sort of reaction smacks of either mental incapacity or extremely short-term reactivity. (Or, as is often the case, a large dose of each.)

He's obviously not shit, you're just posting for effect.

He is, however, playing like someone who doesn't want to be there, which is **** unforgivable for me. This may be a Mickey Mouse competition in the grander scheme of European stuff but it's our first euro semifinal in 42 years. Man wasn't even a twinkle in his father's eye down the favelas back then. He could stand to show a little respect for the club, pride in the badge, etc.

Marginal offside car call that looked off, knocked the wind out of our sails. Not our usual back 5 and they got exposed for the second. Blatant penalty not given, easy two maybe more clear bookings ignored. Great goal by us and then if Diaby or Luiz we at it today we'd have gone in 2-2 despite all that.

 

Can win here, we will need to win by 2 though...

If it's accurate that VAR didn't bother checking that penalty, we need to kick up a fuss publicly and to UEFA. We're too nice about this shit.

Indeed.  The last one was an absolute nutter.

Luiz has no fuel in his tank

This is closer to the truth. Not to mention that he plays better with Kamara next to him.

Ultimately, they're tier 3 refs for a tier 3 competition.
