PSG v Bayern

[Big Cat]

TBF, it does sound like a good game from the score line etc, but I'd struggle to stay tuned after seeing that HB decision
The Hemel Town game was interesting. Sort of a terrible watch, but in all the ways I like! They went out on PKs unfortunately
Off the Boreham Wood with the kids tonight. Not particularly interested in how Arsenal get on either

Good question, but Rusty is correct in that it has virtually always been the case for as long as I can remember & it doesn’t matter what tweaks are done to the Laws or any additional guidance provided, Europe/UEFA/European Referees continue to do the same thing with the same/very similar incidents - penalise. As to why - looks like it’s just in their DNA.

I think its just weird. Bi peds move limbs when they move, that really (it really is) in our DNA.

I’m sure it wasn’t as remotely exciting as the smash n’ grab 1-0 away playoff semi win that I watched instead last night and nearly fell asleep standing up.

Caution for simulation after EIGHTEEN seconds though, great stuff.

Why?

Because the heads of FIFA and UEFA refereeing have told referees to be strict on handling. Whereas Howard Webb has done the opposite. That’s why you’ll see the English FIFA badges referees judging handball decisions completely differently in the EPL than the ECL.

There was also the incident when a PSG player went down with a foot injury and the ref stopped the game as Bayern were attacking.. Not at all dubious ;-) but then again I see plain poor refereeing in the PL every day of the week so it's no surprise really.
