Some goal that by Valverde

[cdbearsfan]

That's a really good goal.

[Pete3206]

Ha!

[Flamingo Lane]

That's a lovely goal by Real Madrid.

As brilliant a hatrick as you will ever see from Valverde. Brilliant.

Come on Bodo!!

Trouble with the penalty was the ref gave it first. The player sliding in did catch Madueke's trailing leg with his torso which then allowed him to fall over "with contact". If ref hadn't given it, VAR wouldn't have.

So, if the ref hadn't given it, neither would VAR. But as he did, VAR go along with it? Is VAR just there to rubber stamp the refs decision then?

The trouble with rhetoric is that there's always commonsense expression to justify both any given position and its opposite. For instance, you deride this kind of decision as 'rubber stamping' - however, it is the logical consequence of demanding that VAR correct only 'clear and obvious errors'. So them's the breaks.

What a hattrick by the way.

VAR doesn't correct only clear and obvious errors, though. They spent 5 (five) minutes disallowing a Burnley goal the other week. It was a blatant dive. Arsenal are cheating ******.

[ChicagoLion]

Made Guehi look like a pub player.

[PeterWithesShin]

We should look at signing Valverde in the summer.

[RamboandBruno]

I want all the English teams in this to go out, but presuming for 5th place purposes, we need one or two to get through. Arsenal will probs get there, and I guess Liverpool are the least worst option, given how many times theyve won it?

[Ian.]

That’s some finish by Valeverde. What a goal.

[Ian.]

Actually, just seen all three, what an incredible hatrick.

[Toronto Villa]

What a story Bodo is becoming.

[Dave]

Chelsea were so nearly ahead, now they are behind

I remember something similar last Wednesday.

So the Lord giveth, so he taketh away.
