Just had a check of my ifab. Never going to ref at a high enough level to have VAR . So never really looked at that part before. Think you are right because of the pen being a “game changing decision” ref then has to take appropriate disciplinary action. Still not a hand ball though…

As I understand it, it was given for handball. Can’t think it would have been a yellow for foul outside the box that would be a red for stopping a goal scoring opportunity and that should have been issued first downgraded to yellow following VAR review for foul inside the box and pen (still ultimately a sending off I guess, if officiated properly). But if somehow he’s decided it was a foul in the box and a yellow card offence it’s still a routine foul, so can’t issue a yellow following VAR review.

Club need to call out the ref and UEFA. Laws of the game it’s not a handball. Far too close, and arm in a natural position. More importantly though the ref can’t issue a yellow following a VAR review for a routine yellow card offence. Only for simulation if they’ve originally given a pen (dissent) or downgrading a red to a yellow following review. Not sure how it’s possible to happen in the circumstances. Surely someone in the VAR team could have pointed out the error in the CR’s officiating??

Possibly we were looking at Josh Mulligan?

At the 2017 final, I got tickets off a lad who had something to do with Village Hotels. When I went there to get them, he invited us to stay for the pre-match entertainment. They had Cooper, Kennedy (and I can't think who the third was?). Joey Harper also said a few bits at the end; he seemed to be there with Cooper. Cooper was the entertainment, though. Had the whole place in stitches and was the highlight of the day for me and the lads I was with. Imagine everyone who met him came away with the same impression of him.

What a fucking day. Up at 430 for flight up the road. 10 pints deep by the time I met my dad, nephew and BiL. First final for nephew and first with my dad since 90. Was close to greeting losing in 17, but fucking hell was closer today. Better not wait 35 years for another one, I’ll be 80! Wasn’t confident at all and said before I’d take a shithouse 0-0 and 9-8 on pens so the 1-1 and 4-2 on pens was even better

I blame the Irish.

Odd one, didn't the club suggest we'd turned down a 7 figure bid in the summer? Unless there's personal reasons.

Did I see something on social media over the weekend that a £1.5 million fee had been agreed with an Eastern European team, for Ruby? Also can we not send Ambrose to wherever it was we sent Pape last season?

Been turned down by Nazariy Rusyn on loan from Sunderland allegedly.

I’ve just turned 45 and my first game was one of Fergies last. Was at SCF in ‘90 under Smith and was probably at Pittodrie for most of his reign. Ebbe was a bit of a cult hero. But after Pele, Calderwood brought a bit of respectability back to AFC. Beating the Huns when Ricksen got sent off and going 2 up against Bayern are two of my favourite memories of being at Pittodrie (along with the Mimms, Gillhaus, Nicholas goal). The forum carry on in his last few months and when he was sacked was ridiculous and tainted, arguably, our best post Fergie managers legacy (definitely at the time). Might dig out my old sky plus box and watch back the Copenhagen and Bayern games.

Baffling subs, Palaversa and Keskinen off and somehow Nilsen and Okkels stay on the pitch?

Well he clearly likes his pints and burgers as much as I do!

Just start posting MAGA, right wing shit and Covid conspiracies then your posts will start appearing on everyone’s timelines.

Sidebeh's goal against Dundee at the end of March was something else. But no way are we blowing 1/2 a million on someone who, this time last year, was playing level 7 of English football.

Supposed to be signing soon. “City Group” player. Man City and loans till moving to Troyes. Could be absolute rubbish but thought I’d add it, just in case it’s not. As Panda says looks like the type of player we would be trying to sign.

Ante Palaversa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ante_Palaversa

He also led the centipede after the sna ba game...

Massive superiority complex and misplaced arrogance. It brings out the worst in the whole population. Particularly bad are the ones who know nothing about sport. Most recently having a conversation about rugby just after the 6 nations. I made a comment which was responded to by an older English lad very confidently with "come back to me when you beat us" to which I laughed and replied "you mean like this year, or last year or the year before that." Or the dickhead my wife saw yesterday wandering down the street shouting "eng-ha lund eng-ah-lund" only stopping to stick his head in the door of the kebab shop and Turkish barbers to shout racist shite at them. Thankfully I married an Irish girl and have mates that treat it like a rivalry, same as we do. Cheering and giving me shit when we lose or have crap results (memorably the draw against the Faroes). I wanted to go to Germany and tried to convince one of these mates to come with me, he wouldn't, saying that he would have done had England not qualified but didn't want to go and have the Germans (or anyone else) associate him with the rest of his countrymen. I always like to tell them that half their team should have been missing from the final in '66 had the semi been refereed correctly, having spent 90 minutes taking turns kicking the fuck out of Eusebio (something my dad goes on about), so really the goal given that didn't cross the line just typified how corrupt that whole tournament was. In fairness the jingoism has died down a bit over the last few years and yesterday meant I got a lovely round of golf in on an empty course while the rest of England tried to drink more than three cans of cider while comparing guts and bad tattoos before seeing their team capitulate and giving their wives a slap to reassert their superiority complex and misplaced arrogance.

Thank fuck for the Spanish. Have endured years 31 to 58 living down here following their fixed win in '66, not sure I'd have coped starting at year 0.

Just read that back in Trump voice in my head...

Seen Keith Wyness has been talking about the huns issues around the redevelopment of their shit hole.

Funny they announce Barron the same day it comes to light they can’t afford to pay their builders Make your stadium playable/sign a player from Aberdeen

Mingin’! Stupid cunt…

Fuckin' right. Barron's a decent prospect, with still a fair bit of deficiencies in his game. Won't get the game time, to develop, he needs at the huns as their followers won't allow it. IF he goes there he'll end up no more than a journeyman lower premier/championship player at best. See the balmedie hun as an example. BUT we can present the ridiculous price they're putting on a 26 year old goal keeper with about 30 top flight games played and use it to compare it to the 21 year old midfielder with 70 odd top flight appearances for the "independent" panel that decides the fee.
