    Years since I've seen a streaker like that. Given the price of those tickets, I hope she's getting well paid for that.

    The ref did not check VAR. He checked with the people viewing VAR I believe. He didn't look at it himself.
    Which is checking VAR. He didn't conduct an on field review.

    That is a disgrace. I hope she goes to prison.

    Harry looks rusty.

    He had his arm held high and brought it down as the ball was knocked towards him. You can't move your arm in the direction of the ball have the ball touch it and expect it to not be a penalty

    There's no 'expect it' in the rules. He clearly doesn't intentionally handball it. You can have your hand high all you want.

    Gotta be some sort of viral marketing

    Didn't go full nude.

    Shame

    Her twitter account is interesting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 732 ✭✭✭RicketyCricket


    A controversial penalty, a goal and a streaker inside 20 minutes. Great stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,001 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Spurs getting a good foothold in the game and looking dangerous .

    Of course he is. Madness starting him. Will not last 90 mins either.

    Indeed.

    Liverpool aren't really doing anything apart from long balls & look outnumbered in midfield.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,116 ✭✭✭✭RasTa


    Spurs doing alright in fairness

    Trippier is a good shout for one of the worst players to play in a CL final.
    He isnt even the worst player on the field tonight.
    Karius, traore,loveren,pennant, zenden,Garcia, cisse.

    He has to deliberately stick out his arm to handle the ball for it to be a penalty. He doesn't. He is pointing to a teammate to cover. Ball hitting outstretched arm doesn't mean penalty, simple as. He has to INTENTIONALLY gain an advantage.

    Definitely wrong decision.

    First I'm a United fan, stop being ridiculous. It's a penalty. By your logic get everyone randomly pointing with out stretched arms and narrow the target in the box.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Dirty one from Robertson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,001 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Not too much in that, a free would suffice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,333 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Lots of hard work from Spurs but going nowhere, can see them getting stretched on the break as the game goes on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,641 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    How the fcuk does a commentator know if somebody meant something or not??

    That's not the rule anymore. In the CL at least. If the arm is extended, as Sissoko's was, and the ball hits it, chances are a penalty will be given.

    Agreed. Touching Trippier, I'd be scrubbing my fingertips after.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,668 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Never a penalty. I'm a Liverpool fan. I would be gutted if it was the other way around.

    Spurs look pretty comfortable. Harry shouldn't be on that pitch as he is too slow. Keep getting over the top balls just not coming off, thankfully.

    Liverpool not pressing as normal for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,580 ✭✭✭ArielAtom


    Trippier going down quicker than a $10.00 hooker in Bangkok, embarrassed for him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,684 ✭✭✭FatherTed


    Whoa that flag was really late

    Your logic makes me think you never played.

    It's blatantly obvious why he had his arm out. If you don't understand that. You don't know. Had it hit his arm outright it's more debatable.

    The fact it was chest first then arm makes it so much worse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 921 ✭✭✭The Good Ole Boys


    This thread has taken a turn for the worst. Grown men are getting very passive aggressive. It is grim. The game is a very poor quality too.

    Rules changed as of today around various things.

    One I believe is handball. If it comes off head/body/foot and hits our own arm it's not to be considered a foul.

    It definitely hit his chest. And brushed his arm.

    It was as soft a peno as has ever been given.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,017 ✭✭✭sReq | uTeK


    Spurs have settled well. I would be changing Kane with with Moura at half time. I feel Kane is just too slow and VVD is easily marking him out if the game.

    Neither team playing well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 921 ✭✭✭The Good Ole Boys


    I think most people who have actually played the game or have a rational mind can see it was not a penalty.

    Not a good game so far

    Liverpool have created nothing & are just hoofing it.
    Spurs are more comfortable on the ball.

    Bit of let down so far. Hopefully it’ll open up.

    If that is indeed true then the Referee should be shot.

    Spurs are out of their depth at this stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,333 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980


    Poor enough game so far. Certainly well off all the hype anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,251 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    Typical game after major hype week,not much happening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    It's never good when two same league sides play each other.

    So many errors.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,047 ✭✭✭Jamiekelly


    The only person who was not complaining about the penalty was Sissoko. He knew well he messed up

    FFS.

    I agree. Very poor in terms of quality for a CL final so far. I'd say the rest of Europe are flicking through the channels as we speak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,489 ✭✭✭✭lawred2

    What was he doing though?

    He's been a calamity all game..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,749 ✭✭✭golfball37


    Son very poor

    Doesn’t make it a penalty.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,251 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    Liverpool sitting like a Carlow defence,hope they get caught.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Christ, awful passing form Spurs again. Liverpool looking very nervous. They'll be on their own six yard box by the hour mark at this rate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,877 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    The main thing with handball is it has to be deliberate.

    Was he deliberately trying to stop the ball with his arm? I don’t think he was.

    It could be argued he shouldn’t have had his arms up at all I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,595 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    Liverpool have played nothing yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,001 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Liverpool dropping a lot deeper, Spurs getting domination of territory and possession now.
