Barkley you utter twat.

[jimmygreen]

Hopeless. Wants the free kick and then doesn’t have a plan on how to take it.

Cavani knobbles AEG who falls into Maguire who moans

Yeah how AEG wasn't given a red card for that scandalous challenge on Maguire...

VAR checking

[TonyD]

Get the fucker off the pitch.   

[cdbearsfan]

Davis and Wesley on.

For a big block McGuire is a right fucking wimp

I'm guessing that's a typo, but I reckon the typo is a better choice of word anyway.

Yeah, I spotted the typo and decided to leave it.

Free kick hit it first time FFS

[andyh]

2 midfielders replaced by 2 strikers ?

I've seen enough of Barkley. He's just not good or consistent enough.

[Flamingo Lane]

Oh, Ross, you're better than that.

You know... I’m not sure that’s accurate

No, it's the sort of thing a commentator says when he means that was fucking shite.

[CT]

Corrupt. It’s blatant.

Don’t be surprised if Kavanagh takes the free kick.

[Villan82]

Last week you couldn't criticize Ross here.

[TonyD]

Again our player gets a card. 

[Smithy]

Anyone saying that was a penalty and handball is a bit desperate

No more desperate than your bit of attention seeking.

If it was the other way round u would say no way was it a penalty, don’t know what attention seeking has to do with it. Funny though

I think the reason VAR didn't give it is because of the "The ball travels some distance" part of the rules, they could legitimately say it didn't move very far to hit him.  I've no idea how far is "enough" distance, but it's a nice vague rule that allows them to chose to do what the fuckever they like on decisions like this...
