I wont be renewing my CL season pass next year if we qualify, I have had enough of watching corrupt football. Last night we scored two equalising goals ruled out for offside, the first was not referred to VAR because the linesman got his flag up as the ball was hitting the net - replays show it was onside. And then the 2nd time, the line showed the Union player was 6 inches onside, but the line was drawn in the wrong place on the graphic - a very clear error for everyone to see, and one that won Marseille the game.
It is always the same. Last year we got knocked out by Ajax, but in the last minute their keeper flying kneed our striker in the head challenging for a 50-50 at force, left him with a broken cheekbone, nose and unconscious for a few minutes on the floor, but the referee decided it wasn't a foul and didnt refer it to VAR. Newcastle's second penalty was a joke, everyone in the British media in their reports said it was clearly not a penalty. Inter's two penalties were a joke. In Madrid, a player two footed challenged one of our players with both feet off the ground, yellow card and not referred to VAR. In Galatasaray, a studs up challenge to the ankle was not given a red card, and left our left back with a long term injury.
And its not even the big decisions that matter the most, its the constant 70-30 bias you need to overcome on everything. They kill a break with a professional foul? no yellow card. You win the ball in a 50-50, the referee blows for a foul. Its every single minute of the game.
Goals being disallowed for no reason vs Marseille.... I am sure its above board. Marseille after all have no history with bribing match officials, do they ??
Cough cough **Bernard Tapie** cough cough.
