Red and green dots were prime GOT currency until these pampered millennials came along... all butt hurt and offended when somebody dared disagree with them ... a sad era for GOT....and a major embarrassment for mankind
 

I'm feeling uneasy now, because as soon as I started posting I came straight to this thread and set up base camp (apart from The Ale House mainly)!

In my defence, when I was merely a lurker, I used to come straight here. Having a dislike for them of an almost pathological intensity, reading the post here has a therapeutic effect, like Sheldon having Soft Kitty sung to him to go to sleep...

'Kopite lurkers, RS lurkers, little balls of cr@p / Mutant lurkers, Full Kit lurkers, fap, fap, fap' :zzz:
 

With decisions and luck that goes their way, it's still incredible they managed to lose the Premier league after being so far ahead at Christmas...

Had hope VAR would crush their title chances from now on, but after Saturday night I've lost faith in that...

Don’t think Liverpool will be a threat in the prem next season. They’re nowhere near as good as City and couldn’t beat them even with every card stacked in their favour last season. Their football towards the end of the seasons was as ropey as anything. They could easily drop back to a top 4 squabble with Chelsea and Spurs.

They’ll be a huge threat again in the CL though. They’ll be out the group after being seeded and so will be once again into a scenario where theres only 3 opportunities for a decent team to put them out over 2 legs. So if they draw a Porto or a team who can’t play away from home they probably only have to traverse one tricky tie to make the final again.

Absolutely, given a penalty that comes off his chest even with VAR - doesn't bode well.

I hadn’t seen the penalty decision (avoided watching the game by going for a cycle in the countryside). When I saw it later I was pretty shocked it was given, but then again Man U got a ridiculous pen against PSG. If these are pens then there will be a glut given from now on. There was no intent with either pen, just arms hanging out.

Even with the arm hanging out, it definitely hit Sissoko’s chest first so surely that cannot be given? I thought there had to be intent or has this changed?. It was silly he had his arm out like that (looked like he was pointing to his teammates to get into position type thing) but hitting his chest first negates any argument he intended to block it illegally.

To be given that decision in the biggest game in club football was a huge call, and unbelievably harsh.
