I doubt anyone would have had an issue if the ref had blown staright away for the Onana handball, it was a clear one. I'm still far from convinced about Ollie's.

I called the Onana handball immediately and I suppose these days given it was 10 seconds before the goal it was an easy decision for the officials. The Watkins decision was crap though, as there is no clear evidence he handled from any angle.

Im really pleased we  looked so much better than most of our away games last season - a great return to the European cup and chuffed we won the day after Gary Shaw’s death.

Probably yeah, but what happened is quite different from that scenario.

I thought accidental handball in the lead up to the goal was allowed, but not in the actual act of scoring.. Was it perhaps deemed deliberate?

The ref must have decided his hand / arm was in an un-natural position as it was high up. So not deliberate/ but less accidental then they would like?

I'm just wondering when they decide a decision 20 seconds and 7 touches earlier in the play needs to be called back? Afterall if a through ball is offside but not called on the field which leads to a corner someone scores from, they don't go back to the offside.

How impressive was that performance from #AVFC!

It felt like the kind of game a mature team with dozens of games in the top European competition would have

There was control, order, attack with intent, reaction after losing the ball, good solid individual performances...

Brilliant!

I doubt we'd be happy if this wasn't given as a handball against us.

I would have been fine with it being called back if that was 5 seconds and 2 passes from goal. I would just like consistency on them deciding when something in the build-up is too far back to call. For example if Onana had done that outside the area, the ref then blew for a freekick and we scored from that,  the handball would have been ignored. We went 20 seconds, 7 passes and 4 other players touching the ball after the handball. If we had done one of our traditional 16-20 pass moves, would they have still called it?

Wobbly first 20 but a breeze after that. Watkins disallowed goal was bullshit, Duran one more understandable but a pity after a great finish. Bring on Bayern.

It wasn't just the finish, it was the build up play from him beforehand. Channelling Shaw through out it.

Refs lean towards big sides Bruce admitted as much as he played for Man Utd
Call it what you want but it happens not all the time but enough to make a difference

Remember that time at Old Trafford in the FA cup when we equalised they went back so far and found that JJ ran into someone and disallowed it
No way would that have happened the other way around, no way and I don’t care what anyone thinks

So how does all that relate to what happened tonight?

Delighted to see McGinn talk about Gary Shaw unprompted. Well done Meatball, he's always been a great ambassador for us.
