Demba Ba has just scored a goal against Man U. The sort of goal that you might see in an under 10s match. No defence whatsoever as all the Utd players were up the other end trying to score. Great fun to watch.

Did you see against Chelsea (puh!) the Renne defender get a second yellow for a handball from a shot that ricocheted off his own leg!? It was ludicrous. Penalty and a sending off from someone blocking a shot with their leg. As many a wise old codger has said this season, the game’s gone.

Just seen it on the highlights. Truly appalling and desperately unfair. If that’s what the laws of the game now decree then the regulatory bodies have lost the plot.

Just as worrying is that players will appeal for the decision. No honour left at all.

I thought VAR and extra scrutiny was supposed to remove the 'human error' element of officiating?

:9surprise:

I'd love for us to put our group to bed and keep chalking up wins. That way we can play the younger players for the games that don't have any bearing on the group standings. I'm expecting 3 points which I shouldn't do.

Nailed it, AG.

This is why I love the forum. The opinions posted on it really make you think.

Supposed to. Just like democracy is supposed to remove tyrant and crooks from power.

We just have to cling to the faith that having such systems is better than the alternatives.

Just catching a bit of the Benfica vs Rangers game. The stadium looks eerily familiar, especially in its current non-spectator mode.

Mind you it was us who copied them.

Rich · **#509607**

1-0 down. Felt like pure complacency all round there

long time gooner · **#509608**

Well that’s ironic. Conceding a goal by not playing our way out of defence.

long time gooner · **#509609**

We are building attacks like a Subbuteo team.

Just one active player at any time.

Rich · **#509610**

Always that element of frustration that we just don’t shoot enough against teams who stick 10 men behind the ball.
We don’t seem to have players who can get the ball, make half a yard and fire an accurate shot at goal

Lincoln gooner · **#509611**

Half an hour of absolute rubbish so far.

Ash · **#509612**

Karen Carney. Urgh, not that I like many comms but she really is awful. Arsenal rivalling her in stinking the place out.

Just like virtually all of the Dundalk game. Tedious, unexciting with no real penetration or threat.

Hopefully the rested players will do a job on Villa.

Rich · **#509614**

Consistency in focus and urgency not there still.

Missing what Nelson gave us v Dundalk, just someone willing to run at them. Pépé is infuriating at his lack of desire to actually try and beat his man. He does a few step overs, keeps the ball close, stops and plays it backwards

At least she offers a reasonable commentary, unlike the judgemental and superior attitude of Steve McManaman.

long time gooner · **#509616**

Horrible slow motion attacks.

She can barely get her words out coherently sometimes, kept insisting Bernd Leno's long pass was a goal kick and mostly deals in stating the obvious or pointless. So yes, still better than McManaman :laughing7:

Rich · **#509618**

Goal disallowed for offside. Terrible decision. Willock was offside but Nketiah who tapped it in was a long way onside

Rich · **#509619**

No var. typical the one time we need var to correct an awful decision and we don’t have it

Someone tell her his name is Nketiah, not Nketiay

long time gooner · **#509621**

Doh. Nketiah wasn’t offside when he ‘scored’.

Still, nice of Molde to make amends by scoring for us.

Lincoln gooner · **#509622**

Willock was offside there but Eddie was onside and I think he was the one who put it in.

And there's the equaliser. We don't really deserve it but we certainly needed it.

Rich · **#509623**

1-1 own goal

At least she hasn’t said “for me he should have hit the target there”. :1laughter:

She's working from the commentators book of cliches. That's her 'philosophy'.

Or do they know something I don’t???

Rich · **#509628**

Just the 4 players playing Nketiah onside for his rules out goal. If the linesman thought Willock touched it in I can understand it but then have a word with the ref and say it’s only off of Willock touched it, then the ref can tell him it was clearly Nketiah so it’s onside

When she commentated over the replay of the Molde goal she said “And he’s not going to miss from there” he was 30 yards out and bent it right in the bottom corner, not exactly one you ‘don’t miss’!

I doubt it John.

Did Ceballos play the first half?

Why is he in the team?

Yes.

To play midfield?

Rich · **#509633**

Some of the basic passing has been really poor and slow tonight.

Lincoln gooner · **#509634**

Ffs Kolasinac

Rich · **#509635**

He’s so deep, virtually a centre back

Rich · **#509636**

Kolasinac has been awful. Missed an open goal

long time gooner · **#509637**

Oh wow. I can imagine what McManaman would have said about that miss.

Rich · **#509638**

There’s been a couple of times when Kolasinac has got in behind and just been too slow to get the ball across. Just bring Tierney on and we win this game

john1 · **#509639**

It’s a cheeky this, and a cheeky that.

Annoying commentary, as well as bleedin obvious.

Rich · **#509640**

2-1 a brace of own goals. Willock makes it by making the off the ball run and forcing the pass
