The people watching Ajax - why did ref go to VAR for Ajax's equaliser?

Either for a possible foul in the build up or the fact Madrid have the right to have very goal they concede double checked.

I think it was to do with a challenge by an Ajax player to win the ball that set up the attack. It was a challenge from behind but not a tackle, more a nudge and the Madrid player fell to the floor.

Ta.

 

Was reading bbc text and when goal went in it said 'this time no need for VAR' (obviously after 1st one was referred)

 

Then they expressed surprise it had actually gone to VAR.

The latter does seem to be a thing - hence my asking!

Spurs completely overmatched Dortmund physically. 

 

Dortmund must be the youngest side I've ever seen at this level and they looked it.

Yup. No maturity and experience in that side. Things you need in spades past the group stage.

Equaliser? Offside for the opener apparently. Wasn't for me.

Both goals were referred I believe.

Argument that Courtois was impeded by a player in an offside position. 50/50 call for me. Went Real Madrid's way of course.

It's Real Madrid. Absolutely nothing wrong with the one that stood.

That cynical twat Ramos ensured he got himself a yellow card just before the end, ensuring he misses the second leg and then starts the quarter finals without a suspension hanging over him.

If we get through i really want them in quarters.

 

They are shite and we'll dick them over two legs - be perfect revenge for last year.

I’d have just preferred to win it last year, if I’m being honest.

Were football to obey the laws of logic, we would be thumping Munich come next Tuesday. But it seldom happens.

 

Haven't seen enough of this Dortmund side myself, but it seemed like their problem was more mental...too overwhelmed by the occasion having had little experience in this competition. Being a young team, they were physically not ready as well.

Repped for the bold effects.

Leicester boss Claude Puel says interest from Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham in Ben Chilwell, Harry Maguire and James Maddison respectively shows the Foxes are doing a good job of developing players. 

 

 

Umm, Claude....

Apparently he admitted it on camera afterwards, which means he's looking at a two match ban.

Yep, and Ramos has form for it too. It'd be an absolute piss take if he escaped punishment this time.

Malmo vs Chelsea. Minutes silence for Sala. Why?

Remembering a fellow professional footballer who tragically died in a plane accident.

Yes get that but is it not a bit much. He has no connection to either club tragic as it was. Will we do it for Gordon Banks?

What about all those poor lads in Brazil.

Uefa said this week that all European games will have a silence or applause for Sala after his body was found the other day. I'm sure Banks and the kids will get one. you are a cunt.
