The Big Cup Final

Var is a bawhummer

They looked worse against Man City who ripped them apart - it should have been 5 or 6 nil by half time, but Madrid took their chances and somehow got through. Mainly thanks to Benzema.

Great striker but hes a long way to go before reaching Giakoumakis level.

Poor 45mins.

It hit off the Liverpool lad first

Bit bit bit there was a Liverpool defender between Benzeema and the goal

Be prepared to be shafted by VAR decisions next season. It's shite.

 

[Hoopy427]

Not the best 45 minutes I've ever seen, Liverpool certainly had the best of it.
Wee Modric was quiet.

Some cant needs to walk me thru that offside decision cos am confused as fuck here.

How Wis that aff side , that’s a goal all day long

Benzema was clearly lying in an offside position, but when the replay showed the ball was knocked through to him by the Liverpool defender's knee then I would have thought he was considered onside. Unless they are saying he was offside at the point when the Madrid attacker connected with the ball immediately before the defender - but then is Benzema interfering with play at that point???

Essentially no-one really knew what decision should be made so they went with what the assistant ref said! What a mess. And I'm wanting Liverpool to win but thought Madrid should have gotten the goal.

You need to have 2 defensive players (usually 1 defender and a goalie) between you and the goalline. But it was a goal in my opnion.

That's what I was just typing then I actually confused myself! Does the last Liverpool defender not play him onside because the keeper was further forward??

Ah right, now I get it. Still feckin stupid though.

Convinced now GS that they continue to mess about with the off side rule just to justify some of this VAR nonsense.

 

[Brimcbhoy]

Madrid will move up a gear here and win it, imo.

No. You need to have 2 defensive players between you and the goalline.

It appears VAR has followed the rules correctly here, but I don't think many people knew that the latest interpretation of the laws is that it has to be a deliberate pass from the defender.

I think most people connected with football would not agree with this and we'd all be raging if one of our goals was disallowed for this.

Fuck it I'll stick to 8 piece jigsaws!

I'm quite partial to doing a jigsaw. The last one I did was extra tricky. I was really chuffed with myself because it said 3-4 years on the box but it only took me 6 months to complete!

 

[Hoopy427]

Fuck some bastard shot that Real player in the face!

 

[The Galway shawl]

yeeeeeesssss!

 

[John nó]

Shocking the amount of long balls played in this game so far, especially when most of them have picked out no-one.
This competition desperately needed our return to show the whole of Europe and the world how football should be played "The Celtic way"

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL
