Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

No, he booked him for the second time during the shootout, but in the Europa Conference League, bookings picked up during the match do not roll over into the shootout. Weird.

Indeed

Absolutely ridiculous rule that encourages cheating / extreme brinkmanship, such as we saw from Martinez there.

Good to have characters in the game however irritating they are I think

 

[TyphooToffee]

i got the west ham one on

Watching Atalanta hopefully dump the rs out of Europe

 

[matty1878]

west ham doing good

 

[Ivo]

Don't know why, but cheering on west ham here.
Reckon that Antonio would have scored a hat full for us this season, deffo a lot of the chances dcl missed.

 

[Huyton Layne]

What an odd rule. Actively encouraging people to get a yellow in the pens as it means nothing. How'd they come up with that rule?

I wonder if this just a Europa Conference League / UEFA rule, or if it’s the same in English cups too

 

[the golden visionary]

Rules are rules

 

[marsh]

What times the next penalty or red card or awful mistake to help Liverpool

Exactly - unreal. The Lille keeper should have retaliated by booting the final Villa penalty from the spot to the half way line before the Villa player could get to it - it would have delayed the kick significantly and caused the player's nerves to kick in.

 

[ste d' indica]

Hahahahaha, no mate, no matter how much you wish it to be.

So he even gets away with a suspension as well despite getting two yellows in one game? Unbelievable.

Seems to be IFAB so does that apply to all

Is it just me, or does Zouma look a bit awkward physically? Like in the amateur leagues he'd win all the headers but you'd lace him with your pace?
