My respect for Ferdinand increased after he was the only one in BT studio who had the guts to admit the ball hit Llorente in the arm. It is a pity that the World is filled with so many fickle people who wants to see the better person cheated to suit their inferiority complex.

Majority of the EPL fans were happy that one of their best was getting robbed a chance to win the trophy. Either way, we march on.

‘That’s off his arm for me. That’s hit his arm. Watch the skin on his arm, it moves,’ Rio Ferdinand said, to which Lineker replied: ‘But even if it just flicks the arm and then goes onto the hips that’s not… is it?

‘I’m just saying the ball’s hit his arm and then it’s up to the referee to determine whether its a handball or not,’ Ferdinand said.

‘I think its handball personally I’ve got to be honest.’

forgiveness:



As soon as I saw the replay I agree it was a goal. Llorente tried to move his arm away from the ball"s direction.

There was a slight touch but it didn't influence the direction of the ball. The hip had to do all the job.

They hate pep because he has schooled them over there in the Epl and he is from Barcelona

They also forget conte won the Epl in his first season at Chelsea

Ferdinard doesn't say nonsense he knows what he says and he is not bias like carragher who was crap during his playing days but knows how to criticize a player who is not English ,should I also remind you of Gary Neville ? One of the worst manager in the history of laliga

I don't want to talk about the city game as I respect VAR ,Tottenham are the deserved winners ,football is some how most times

TheGoodJoe:


That is you being dishonest as much as the VAR crew that night. I wonder how people are happy seeing someone cheated. I do not have a drop of that in me. That is one of the reasons I stopped supporting Manchester United.

Back to the topic. As long as it is handball, saying moving away does not add. You know it is handball, the referee and the VAR crew members knew it was handball and the goal should not stand.

What beats me is how people like you can keep a straight face and try to defend cheating another.

forgiveness:



It was a pure and clean goal.

TheGoodJoe:


I respect VAR but what we saw that night was not VAR. That was corruption and a conspiracy to oust City caught on tape.

The VAR crew had the footage that clearly showed it touched his arm. We had already seen the footage before. They refused to show that angle because it was clear they wanted City out.

There was a moment during the match the ball touched either a Manchester city or Tottenham player in the box but the referee didn't give penalty.

Who is Messi competitor for balon d or ?

It should be saido mane ,dude has been fantastic

komekn:


What is the something else, l am lost explain more.

But before you do the superiority of the EPL is becoming more and more apparent.

Look at how many EPL teams got to the last 8 of the Champions league. And the possibility of an all EPL final is now a possibility.

Then look at the Euro cup it seems highly likely that we will have an all EPL final.

Now what could be more emphatically resounding to prove the complete SUPERIORITY of the EPL.

Yea, it should be Mane but I won't be surprised if they give it to Salah or VVD, if Liverpool were to win the UCL. It's all politics.

watching Arsenal vs Napoli yesterday,the way Sokratis handled Koulibhaly during the altercation really got me. How I wish we got someone like him in the SE squad. All our players are damn too soft..we need a Vidal,kolasinac or sokratis kinda player...our boys need to stop dpubg fine boys up and down...IMO

EmmGee:

i thought if a players hand is not flapping around and the ball hits his hand, it doesn't count as handball??
From the video, llorente's hands were not flapping around.. right?

You mean they will give salah balon d or or vvd? Lol

That will never happen

jihday:
LMAO, what is this that I'm reading?

Icon79:
Don't get me wrong, no one deserves it besides Messi but I'd worried if Barca fails to win the Champions League. After all, Messi was the best player in Europe last season as well - had the highest goals & assists in all competition and won a double. But did he even make the top 3?!
That's UEFA for you … it's all politics.

Omo no Match today.

Today wey person come dey house.

Well, let me ask my Mrs whether my catfish pepper soup don ready.

TheGoodJoe:


That is when you are debating if it is a penalty. It is unfair when a defending player is not making an attempt to stop the opposition from scoring a goal and the ball hits his arm. Especially, if his arm is tuck close and does not make him bigger. In this case, Llorente was the attacking player and use his hand to aid a goal.

The VAR drama there was to check for the possibility of a handball and they refuse to use the angle that clearly shows this. Llorente's arm played a role in scoring the goal. Handball any day. Even the referee knows.

andrew444:


No politics Modric was a deserved winner ,remember it was a World Cup year ?if Modric didn't win that balon d or ,it belongs to Cr7 and not even Messi

I don't think Liverpool players will be given balon d or even if they win champions league which they won't win .

Should I remind you that sneidjer won the champions league and frank ribery ,Cr7 and Messi took those balon d or

Messi will take the balon d or this time after coming 5th last time

Forget all this politics stuff ,Modric deserves last balon d or

Even if Liverpool won Madrid in that final ,Highest salah can get is making the top 3 ,he won't even dream of winning it
