I've still not given up,never will I
Its definitely not over until its over

Barcelona has been written off by some pple,I pray we pull off a surprise.

It would be nice if Madrid lost the league on the last day of the season by a last minute goal

so nice

Olamyyde:
Hernandez hernandez and lahoz are shameless madrid fans.

Don't expect any good refeering when those 2 are officiating a match.

Ohh,no wonder,the ref is even a Madrid fan

Blueelf:

Thanks brother.
I appreciate

ure welcome

do4luv14:



They dont for a reason,

did Semedo even protest the dicision too?

He was short of words, the decision to award it as a penalty made him speechless,and barca players actually protested

Happy Birthday to u bros Blueelf,age with grace and prosperity

Danielnino00:


They obviously didn't..

Players can influence the referee to revise a penalty decision...

How sure are u to use the word obvious, what if they requested for the use of var but the ref refused.

U re not even disputing the fact that it isn't a penalty, u know its not

do4luv14:


Oga you get whahala ooo, shoroniyen abi kilode?


See the way you shot ursef on ya foot,

do the word IN MOTION ever exist in ya dictnry?


So you expected him to keep his foot on the floor, when running and turning,



come somebody should help me here ooo, TheSuperNerd, coman see something oooo

You've only just confirmed it that Carrasco did the touching and not Semedo, since no man born of a woman can keep his feet on the ground while running, Carrasco inclusive, his feet kept moving up while in motion, his left foot moved up and hit semedo on the knee,he trips and falls because of his misplaced right foot,but Semedo ends up being punished, someone that was moving down to his right side so as not to make the tackle from behind.

Do u think Carrasco would have fallen if his right foot wasn't placed across his body?

do4luv14:
Semedo.............



The touch, cause it has to happen, before a foot will be misplaced

It's Carrasco bro,u lift ur legs behind u when u run, it was carrasco left foot that he lifted off the ground while running that hit semedo on the knee not the other way round.

do4luv14:




You never shala anything,

the keyword for those epitaph you wrote is INTERCHANGE, that where the infraction happened,


while Rasco was about turning left, ( in ur words ooo) and Sme was on his righm on his back, while Rasco was infront

since he was runnning with the intent, to tackle, any SLIGHT touch issa touch, even if indirectly

,y verdit, itssa PK mehn

who made the touch, Semedo or Carrasco?
what caused the fall,the touch or the misplaced foot

Sommyroy10:
Till this moment, I still don't understand that call.

Brotherly I still dey argue with some pple on that super eagles thread,they re saying its s fair decision by the ref

Danielnino00:


Did the Barca players ask the referee to consult VAR ?

Did u hear conversation? How did u know they didn't ask him to check??

[quote author=do4luv14 post=91265735]

Bros, its a PK shioo, your player doesn't meant to tackle, then why Running after him, abi nah escort e dey pursue am, go do?



Rsco is clear on goal, so any infringment, wether direct, or indirectly, is interfarring with Rscos play, the Rules say, PN,


so drop it, its a pk finito








Was he meant to stand and watch cara take a shot, or he was meant to start shouting "clear road oo,make una clear road, ma carrasco dey come",so that he and his team mate won't interfere with carrasco's play in other to prevent him from tripping.

Of course he was going to make a tackle nw,but did he?No.Semedo simply didn't want to make that tackle from behind so he was running down to carrasco right side, carrasco on the other hand was trying to turn slightly so he can comfortably use his left leg, it was as if they were interchanging sides, carrasco's misplaced right foot caused all this but semedo was blamed for trying to carry his defensive duties.

And carrasco was on the extreme left,he wasn't face to face with the goal keeper,there were still other players in front of him so he wasn't clear on goal.

Chai i don over shalaye gan sef

Danielnino00:


This isn't the first time a penalty of that nature would be awarded in a football match na..

I don't think you would complain about it if it was Barca that benefited from it...

Of course i won't complain, but I will also not call it a penalty when it's not.My argument is if its a penalty or not which it clearly isn't.

I response to ur 1st paragraph, I tot the introduction of var was meant to put an end to calls of this nature

Edopesin:


The contact is the main thing here, carassco was already on the run and away from semedo at his back
Tackle or not, Carassco was on his way to score and he was tripped even though it was an accident

So semedo should have kept his distance so as not to make that light contact that will trip carrasco.

U were moving with the ball, I followed u, ur booth hit my knee, instead of me to fall and start rolling on the floor in pains, u fell down yakata like mango tree, at the end of the day I was punished for doing notin.

I repeat, is football not a contact sport

JorgedeToledo:


I know football is a contact sport. I know it wasn't the intention of Semedo to tackle Carrasco. But since Semedo's inadvertent contact with Carrasco caused him to lose his balance, that act prevented Carrasco from being in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper or squaring the ball to his teammate to score, then it will be a penalty.
Also, VAR would have looked it up and if it wasn't supposed to be a penalty, it would have been ruled out.

Semedo's inadvertent contact??
"Semedo's inadvertent contact" wasn't even the major cause, carrasco right foot was placed across his body causing him to fall as soon as his left leg touched it,watch the video very well,he was trying to turn and face the goal properly when "Semedo's inadvertent contact" happened before his right leg caused him to fall.

And is it the var that gifted Royal Madrid a penalty the other day u re talking about

Edopesin:


It's a penalty
The contact halted his movement, it was significant enough even though semedo didn't mean to

Is football a contact sport or not??

I think there is a big diff between "semedo didn't mean to" and "semedo didn't even make a tackle".

No tackle was made but a penalty was given, explain something to me bro.

JorgedeToledo:


If you watch the replay more closely, you will discover that Semedo's knee made contact with the trailing foot of Carrasco. This unsettled and made Carrasco trip himself. So in my opinion, that's a penalty.

Semedo was chasing carrasco and in the process, carrasco back foot slightly hit semedo's knee,semedo didn't even make a tackle and that is a penalty to u.

Is football not a contact sport.

Edopesin:
nawa o the ref that officiated Atletico vs Barcelona didn't check VAR ni?

just saw the second Atletico penalty and no one touched him, he tripped

Now this is correct

VAR saw Ter stegen take his feet of the line but didn't see carrasco trip and fell on his own

WONDERMENT

By the way Suarez issa comedian, very funny guy

Mcleo007:



Passtomessi will continue until we have a coach with an understanding of the basics of Tiki-taka. Tiki-taka is only possible with positional play. We cant continue to have Messi drop deep or drift to a central postion when off the ball, and expect not to have other players look out for him. We either revert to him playing as a false 9, flanked by 2 inverted Forwards or stations him permanently on the right wing. He has the skill sets to play either centrally or on the right. Every player must stay in thier positions while trusting oters to know what to do on and off the ball. Its simple!

Agreed without reservation, everybody is always drifting to the middle,can't they maintain their position

I think barca players re encroaching into Suarez space,thereby making it easier for the opponent to defend, how will a midfielder give a defense splitting pass when the middle is choked up,u see them leaving the wing for the fullbacks alone.

Let everyone try and pick a position to play, it open up spaces, u can't choke the middle up and expect to just breeze tru like spirit, u re playing against professionals, not academy players

DenreleDave:

Too funny.. Jokerman and fergie01 must see this

lol

biomustry:
Messi tonight becomes the first player to score 20+ goals for 12 seasons

Assisted with the head
Assisted with his left leg
Scored with his right leg.

.

The beardless Messi is back

Didn't watch the match, but it seems the over reliance in Messi is reducing, its a thing to be happy about I must confess,

Heading to YouTube to catch the highlight
