    The journalist trying to chat when Rashford was literally there when Aston Villa got a pen against Club Brugge

  2. As a fan, I don’t want to see this given. The defender clearly thought it wasn’t in play, and there was absolutely no advantage. That should be ignored every time. The Aston Villa one was the mistake IMO. I hate the “rules are rules” argument (not to mention that spirit of the game and ref subjectivity is written into the laws). I want to see more common sense applied, not less. I want to see it applied to stupid penalty calls, handballs, etc. Fermin’s goal against Madrid last season is the perfect example where the “rules are rules” argument won out, and that shit ruins the game.

    Don’t get me wrong, as a Barca fan I would have been happy to get the pen and a second yellow here, but as a fan of the game, I don’t want games to be decided on this shit.

    Im still baffled at how this penalty is the talking point of this game. The biggest controversy is how many fouls atleti got away with unpunished and how koke didnt get sent off

  4. Honest to god, if this had ever been given against us I would have 0 complaints about the referee, as long it’s always given. I’d just roast the idiot defender who did it.

    Spirit of law this, no advantage that. You remember that offside goal we scored in laliga this season, where the offside came from the corner kick pass? Was that “an advantage” over the opponents? If you wanna judge us by the textbook rules with 0 haggling for interpretation, then do the same for everyone.

    For now I want to see the var conversation that made them convince the ref to send off cubarsi. I just wanna know what they told him. For the hand ball one, apparently the var room didn’t even realize what happened, they thought the players were crying for time wasting

    Handball is a foul. A foul inside the box is a penalty.

    Can’t understand the damn fuss about it.
