The week's other CL games (8/12/20)

[RedNoodle]

Mignolet can only parry a shot (surprise surprise) and Correa is on hand to give Lazio the lead which temporarily put them top of their group. However minutes later Brugge have a shot which Reina cannot keep hold of (I'm sensing a theme here) and Vormmer is on hand to level things up.

Thank **** we've now got Alisson. :eek:

Zenit take the lead against Dortmund via a deflected Driussi shot which wrongfoots the keeper, and currently Lazio are back on top of the group once more.

[RedNoodle]

Immobile makes his way into the box and has his ankle chopped by the attending defender and wins a penalty that he coolly dispatches, and Lazio are now once more in the lead. 2-1.

[RedNoodle]

Sobol of Brugge picks up a second yellow and is sent off. It's absolutely chucking it down in Rome. Surely Lazio are now home and hosed in this game and are just hoping that Dortmund don't fight back against Zenit.

[RedNoodle]

On the stroke of HT Reus hits the post with a curling shot.

[RedNoodle]

Dortmund equalise after the Zenit keeper can't hold onto a shot which Piszczek pokes in.

[RedNoodle]

Lazio have been under the cosh for a bit despite playing against ten men, and Brugge take full advantage via a goal from Vanaken. 2-2

Dortmund are currently back on top of their group.

[RedNoodle]

Doortmund take the lead via a so-so strike from Witsel which creeps in past the near post. 2-1 Dortmund.

[RedNoodle]

A Zenit player goes down in the box, but the ref insn't interested in the slightest.

[RedNoodle]

Pogba starts for Man Utd.

I would have done the same. If he down downs tools given what has gone on, it would make him look like an even bigger **** than he is, and it would harm his chances of another big move.

[RedNoodle]

Mignolet was in the Lazio box containing Reina. Zenit hit the woodwork. A goal there would have put them second ahead of Lazio.

[ianlfc]

Pogba starts for Man Utd.

I would have done the same. If he down downs tools given what has gone on, it would make him look like an even bigger **** than he is, and it would harm his chances of another big move.

Pogba starts on the bench.

[ianlfc]

I'd take Lazio in the next round, they're a bad lot.

[RedNoodle]

FT Zenit 1-2 B.Dortmund

FT Lazio 2-2 Brugge

Dortmund top the group, Lazio are second (despite trying their best to blow it) and get out of the group stages for the first time in twenty years, whilst Brugge are third and go into the EL.

[RedNoodle]

One of Lazio's goals was courtesy of a Mignolet mistake.

[RedNoodle]

Pogba starts on the bench.

Blame whoever it was that I was listening to who said that he starts.

[ianlfc]

I hope they get stuffed tonight.

[Kev0909]

Haha good start for utd but let's not get too excited, they seem to be the comeback kings after a hour to wake up

would be great if they got stuck in the europa with all them games ;)

[miller0863]

Excellent start, goal for Leipzig and a booking for Fernandes in the opening 5 minutes

[RedNoodle]

Behave yourself ����

I always behave myself. Perhaps that's why I'm such a miserable git.

[ianlfc]

Ronaldo goes over for a penalty and scores

[RedNoodle]

You beat me to it by a couple of seconds Ian.

[RedNoodle]

I've got three games on the go,

Leipzig score again!!! :D

Haidara with the goal.

[miller0863]

Leipziiiiig 2-0 !!!

[ianlfc]

Get fucki g in !!

[justincredible]

Wünderbarrrrrrr!!

[RedNoodle]

Forsberg should have made it 3-0.

[miller0863]

Gaaa Leipzig miss a sitter to go 3-0 on 16 mins

[Kev0909]

Forsberg should have made it 3-0.

bloody hell, imagine fighting for a CL place and being this bad, something is wrong with em

probably to do with pogba?

maybe they should stop signing big names with big egos...

actually carry on

[RedNoodle]

Juve double their lead. McKennie with a goad volley.

Elsewhere one of the coaching staff on the touchline seems to be accusing one of the linesmen of using racist language.

The game has been stopped for a while and nobody is sure what exactly has gone on.

[RedNoodle]

In the PSG game the Turkish club's players refuse to continue and leave the field.

Nobody has a clue as to what has gone on.

[faridtoxteth]

can Man Utd lose this and still qualify somehow?

[RedNoodle]

Ramsey is booked for a little bit of a flailing arm, possibly largely as a result of Barca doing their usual haranguing of the referee.

[RedNoodle]

Man U are stopped from going 3-0 down by an offside decision.

[miller0863]

Leipzig third disallowed for offside by VAR

Really should be 3-0 by now

[RedNoodle]

Mukiele gets booked for Leipzig.

[Insidious]

Nobody has a clue as to what has gone on.

Racist incident?

[southernboy]

United seeing a lot of the ball. If they get the next I reckon they’ll win.

[Insidious]

can Man Utd lose this and still qualify somehow?

If PSG were to have lost their game I think PSG and the Mancs would have been level on points, right?

Interesting to see what comes of the PSG match situation - whether they play again tonight, or there's a replay, or whatever.

[RedNoodle]

Racist incident?

It seems so, but who said what to whom is not known.

[miller0863]

“N” word used by fourth official towards a Turkish official or assistant or summat. According to BT

[RedNoodle]

“N” word used by fourth official towards a Turkish official or assistant or summat. According to BT

One of the players intimated that the official had highlighted a player by saying something along the lines of "that black guy". I must have missed the bit where what you said was suggested.

[Insidious]

“N” word used by fourth official towards a Turkish official or assistant or summat. According to BT

That would be absolutely appalling. Hope that's not true and it's something a bit less unpleasant.

An exchange something like "who was it that made the foul?" - "it was the black fella wearing number such and such" wouldn't be the best, but would be considerably "better" as it were.

Shouldn't happen at all, needless to say.

[ianlfc]

“N” word used by fourth official towards a Turkish official or assistant or summat. According to BT

Shit, thats mad .

[justme]

Blimey even the officials are being racist now?

[Kev0909]

apparently assistant refered to Ba as the black guy

Istanbul assistant manager Pierre Webo was sent off after 14 minutes after words were exchanged with the fourth official, and a heated debate continued on the sidelines at the Parc des Princes.

With the game goalless, Basaksehir claimed the official referred to Istanbul substitute Demba Ba as 'the black guy'.

[RedNoodle]

Marcus Trashford MBE (Massive Bell End) gets caught using 'inapropriate language'.

[miller0863]

I can’t believe they would refuse to play because an official said that black fella or the black player No 6. Colour should not be mentioned obviously but I don’t think that would cause them to go off

In the current climate anything/everything is being taken in the worst way possible.

[ianlfc]

Scholes and Rio will be funny as , during half time here.

[RedNoodle]

It's currently 1-1 in the Chelsea game, with Krasnodar having taken the lead. Chelsea should have gone ahead but Havertz didn't make the most of a good chance and fired over.

[RedNoodle]

Scholes and Rio will be funny as , during half time here.

Time to take a few screenshots Ian.

:disillusionment: + :dejection: + :hopelessness: + :distress: + :crushed:

[Kev0909]

Scholes and Rio will be funny as , during half time here.

I'll have to find a stream now

[miller0863]

According to the BBC now it’s because Ba was referred to as “the black guy”.

Can’t help but think that this is an overreaction.
No doubt someone will tell me different

[faridtoxteth]

They're going to restart in Paris at 9 oclock I think.

[Kev0909]

It's getting ridiculous.

[Insidious]

So - do we hope United fail here, thus dropping into the Europa and having a possible alternate route to Champion's League football?

Or do we hope they prevail, knowing the likelihood of them missing Top Four and NOT winning the Champion's League is relatively high?

[justme]

Fail and end up in the Europa league then fail in that.. basically fail forever

I don't know the way things are going I don't think they're anywhere near favs for europa

Will be some decent teams dropping down

let's see if they have the usual 2nd half comeback

[Kev0909]

It's getting ridiculous.

I honestly think if Istanbul had a chance, he wouldn't of done it

Why not have some drama?

[RedNoodle]

Juve win another penalty which Ronaldo scores.

3-0.

I said it a day or two ago and I'll say it again, other than a stupidly big pay increase, why would Wijnaldum or any of our players currently go to Barca?

[Kev0909]

Juve win another penalty which Ronaldo scores.

3-0.

Jesus i got that one wrong, shouldn't of gone for a draw pretty obvious barca are falling apart

I thought they might actually try a bit and come away with a draw, but nope you are correct, they are trash, though they do have the 'goat' :rolleyes: playing for them, so they really should be doing a lot better than they are.

[justme]

Why are BT sport calling Man-united MUN? short for munsters?

My mum says it's rude to point.

How about positioning one's eyes in the direction of the person you are trying to indicate? :rolleyes:

I could tell you a few 'funny' stories connected to that. Maybe one day.

Good tackle there from the Leipzig player.

[faridtoxteth]

Ref giving yellows every other minute. Think it might not finish eleven a side

[justme]

they still havent returned in France..

[RedNoodle]

Fernandes hits the bar with a free kick.

[RedNoodle]

Nope. On the plus side I've had a good look at PSG's pitch/stadium.

[3underpar]

Lol game over Mancs

[justincredible]

Fernandes hits the bar with a free kick.

Alcoholics be like that.

[RedNoodle]

Kluivert makes it 3-0!!! LOL!!! :D

That could include a hell of a lot more people after tonight.

Captain Maguire continues to show his worth

[Kev0909]

Haaaaaa ha

Booo disallowed by VAR for offside

at least they put Braithwaite on at HT to help try turn it around!!

I guess it's a nothing game though really, can't see them getting far mind

Chelsea resting some players i see, but why not

wait does this put juve top on GD?

i'd love to play barca

[CCTV]

Maquire.

Bingo Ringo :)

[Kev0909]

they need a another official to come in to start the PSG game

[Balinkay]

Juve's last goal has been disallowed.

[3underpar]

Typical soft pen

[RedNoodle]

That is never a penalty.

[justincredible]

Juve's last goal has been disallowed.

Who said it's their last? Lol....

[RedNoodle]

Typical soft pen

And yet they'll still deny that they get lots of very soft/dubious penalties.

[miller0863]

An absolute joke of a penalty given to Utd, some things just never change

[justme]

Penchester again. never a penalty Greenwood ran into the defenders space and threw himself down

[RedNoodle]

Fernandes scores.

Boooooooo!!!!!

[Balinkay]

United get the most bullshite penalty of the... well since their last penalty and Bruno Penandes scores. 3-1.

Hold on RBL, just hold on!

[miller0863]

How?? How does any official watching replays of that 50/50 challenge give Utd a penalty?? What utter bullshit

[RedNoodle]

United get the most bullshite penalty of the... well since their last penalty and Bruno Penandes scores. 3-1.

Hold on RBL, just hold on!

When talking about my bad luck, I should have said I'm so unlucky I couldn't even win a penalty if I played for Man U".

[justme]

What drives me mad is the officials are insane over the rules when a goaly comes off his line before a penalty is taken. But Fernandes is allowed to shuffle start and shuffle before he takes a spot kick.

[Balinkay]

3-2. Pogba.

[Insidious]

Do United ever get results on MERIT?!?!

[CCTV]

Fernandes blasts home a soft penalty 1-3

[miller0863]

Now 3-2.

You all know what’s coming

[Kev0909]

3-2. Pogba.

here we gooo

they've woken up

[RedNoodle]

Pogba thinks he's scored but it looks like it came off Maquire. Was it his head or arm?

It's given. Wake up Leipzig you ****s. :mad:

[RedNoodle]

Now 3-2.

You all know what’s coming

Don't Miller. My health is in a precarious state as it is.

[Steveo]

I was going to say when it was mentioned that “RBL have enough to win”

Was going ask BUT do they have enough to stop the officials helping United...? Huge money lost for UEFA if United go out. Expect plenty of “nice” decisions they will be helped to the draw

[RedNoodle]

Leipzig should get a corner but a goal kick is given.

FFS, they are going to get that all important goal aren't they? :( + :mad:

[Kev0909]

94th goal inc

It's given. Wake up Leipzig you ****s. :mad:

I think it was his head tbf.

[LFC-DPG]

Hope they go through. More chance of winning the Europa than getting top 4 in the league.

[justme]

I think it was his head tbf.

You must be blind then. Pogba headed the ball onto Maguries arm and the ball then went upwards. the defender was unable to clear it.

[RedNoodle]

Elsewhere:-

Chelsea 1-1 FK Krasnodar

Rennes 1-3 Sevilla

Dynamo Kyiv 1-0 Fencvárosi TC

Leipzig with zero composure right now

Chelsea 1-1 FK Krasnodar

Renne 0-2 Sevilla

Dynamo Kyiv 1-0 Fencvárosi TC

Huh?

Mine says sevilla 3-1

[miller0863]

Different angle clearly showing the ball coming off Maguire’s hand for the Utd second.
It should still be 3-0

[RedNoodle]

4 mins of injury time.

[RedNoodle]

Ignore that. I was copying and pasting very badly.

Really? From the one I saw it looked like it goes just past it. Have to look at it again then.

[Kev0909]

I can just imagine uefa ringing up around now asking if anyone wants some overtime, get to paris quick!

Surprised it's still going ahead this late

late bedtime for the players

[3underpar]

Almost Leipzig own goal

[RedNoodle]

Phew!!!!!!!!

[Kev0909]

All over, not even utd can come back from 3-0

[Balinkay]

3-2 ft!

[Kev0909]

Captain maguire looks like a bargain with every passing game

[Balinkay]

Kudos to Petey G though. He's grown into a top top keeper.

[RedNoodle]

Get in!!!!!!! They didn't deserve the two goals they got given.

[miller0863]

Excellent.
Even with two gifted to them by the officials they fucked it up.
Get In !!!!!

Heroic failure, it's the hope that kills you.

What a surprise that in the studio they are talking about what went on in Paris, despite the fact that nobody knows for sure what has transpired.

[Kev0909]

Does the PSG match happen tonight or is it occuring another day?

Saying that they've all packed up so who knows

[LEGS]

I hope we aren’t after these RB defenders they look shaky as hell in both games against United.

People call Gomez but he is better than both of their CB’s.

[CCTV]

Does the PSG match happen tonight or is it occuring another day?

Not git a clue

[miller0863]

Without Fernandes they would be even funnier.

[Kev0909]

It's a nothing game anyway, go home and get a good night sleep

Thanks for coming from turkey!

If Andy Mouldstein is on the radio tonight (which he should be) I bet they do exactly the same, which will surprise nobody with any sense.

Lolz. Its even sweeter that they lost out by one goal. Nevermind lads, maybe next year eh.

No way UEFA wouldn’t dare do that.

What happens if all the main players at all the major clubs say we aren’t playing which they might if they dock PSG points.

PSG will play tomorrow night with different officials is my guess.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Laughable.

They got a nice, soft and easy group and couldn't even get past that hurdle without shitting all over themselves.

Glad this came after a weekend in which they were all wanking themselves as being back in the title race because they beat a team they should have beaten anyway.

I am hoping it’s a draw if honest and for some weird reason Ole has a good record against City.

[RedNoodle]

Messi had eleven shots on target against Juve (seven on target) which is the most anyone has had against Juve in the CL without scoring, yet he/his performance was described as "Tireless". Surely it should have been "Not quite as good as some would have you believe"?

[RedNoodle]

I am hoping it’s a draw if honest and for some weird reason Ole has a good record against City.

He does, but this would have taken a lot out of them both physically and mentally.

[LEGS]

He does, but this would have taken a lot out of them both physically and mentally.

Yeah but they may have Cavani/Martial back plus he won’t play that stupid 3 at the back either he went for the draw tonight and it backfired.

Ferdinand, Scholes and Hargreaves all refusing to blame Solskjaer.

[Kev0909]

UEFA initially said the match would restart with a different fourth official "after consultation with both teams".

But Basaksehir reportedly refused to resume the game with the fourth official continuing to participate as a VAR official.

Guess noone wanted the over-time

I don't see how PSG would get points reducted @CCTV

Istanbul just can't be arsed to get smashed think tomorrow aye

I don't see the point just concede lol

You are right cos these same people quickly put the boot in Van Gaal and Mourinho who let’s be honest are both superior managers.

The focus from these three and the biggest moron of the lot Evra is blame Woodward you can blame him for some things but to my knowledge he doesn’t train them or pick the team.

A fighting draw on Saturday might keep him around for abit yet.

Just as well there weren’t fans in Paris tonight.

At the moment almost everyone connected to them is partly to blame for their current woes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost six of his 10 Champions League matches as a manager.

He is the first manager to lose six or more times in their first 10 games in the competition while in charge of an English side.

Hehehe

Surprised lazio couldn't get the win, was against 10 players most of the game

got some good players too

The Manc game is a game made for Jota on tonight's games evidence IF he is dropping nito midfield centrally help crowd them out Leipzig did them all ends up numerous times through switches followed by crosses and men arriving in the box, Jota's forte

It was really really effective, rather than out and out switches and playing from there it was most frequently switch to left or right, ball back to a central player, switch to the opposite flank as they all got sucked in

To be fair but for the dodgy VAR that started in the last third of last season they wouldn't have been in the Champions league anyway and we'd have 4 more points in the league and both Filthy clubs would have 2 less

Cheated their way into the Champions League......

Normally as much as I like the "idea" (history / nostalgia for 90s Serie A) of coming up against Italian sides in Europe, I ultimately don't want it for the safety of our fans.

But in the unique circumstances of Covid, playing against Lazio in the last-16 may not be the worst of ties.

Jorge Jesus (Benfica manager) on last night's incident in Paris:
'I don't know what happened, what was said, but today racism is very fashionable. Today, anything that can be said against a black person is always a sign of racism, the same thing against a white person is no longer a sign of racism.'

How right is this!!

[skyebo]

What chance have we got of kicking racism out, when an official can come out with such a remark. I just seen that he's got a 10 game ban for it. Not good enough, should have been a life ban.

[redebreck]

Just read this on Red Chaff :- "what hurts is you know scousers are sitting at home giggling"

Too bloody right we are. You reap what you sow. :D

Benzema gives Real Madrid the lead against B.Monchengladbach.

[RedNoodle]

B.Monchengladbach should equalise after they break away, but the player in on goal wastes a glorious chance and fires wide.

[RedNoodle]

Benzema doubles Madrid's lead. Gladbach have been far too passive.

[RedNoodle]

Modric hits the post. That would almost certainly have been game over if that had gone in.

Gladbach have been woeful.

[RedNoodle]

Modric thinks he has made it 3-0 but it's ruled out for offside.

[RedNoodle]

HT Real Madrid 2-0 B.Monchengladbach

HT Inter Milan 0-0 Shaktar Donetsk

As it stands Madrid will top the group and Gladbach will just about finish as runners up, whilst Shaktar will just miss out.

[RedNoodle]

B,Munich 0-0 Lokomotiv.M

Salzburg 0-1 Atletico.M

M.City 0-0 Marseille

Olympiakos 0-1 Porto

[RedNoodle]

The Shaktar goalie denies Lukaku with a fine save.

[Balinkay]

Flippin heck... come on Borussia, turn it around!

Flippin heck... come on Borussia, turn it around!

They've been as bad as Madrid have been good.

[RedNoodle]

Vazquez hits the woodwork for Real Madrid. They should be between 3-5 goals up by now,

[ianlfc]

I really don't want Athli again.

[RedNoodle]

Real Madrid win 2-0 and go through.

In the other game they each have 2 mins to find a winner and qualify.

[RedNoodle]

I really don't want Athli again.

I hope you haven't 'done a Nineteenx' and jinxed us.

[RedNoodle]

Inter and Shaktar play out a goalless draw and as a result Gladbach qualify in second despite trying their best to blow it.

Shaktar go into the EL.

[Balinkay]

Porto or Lazio please. Preferrably the latter. Pepe and Lucas back at Anfield would be a sight to behold.

When's the draw?

[Insidious]

When's the draw?

14th of December.

Ideally we would get someone who is psychologically beaten before they even play us.

Porto, with all due respect to them, would likely wilt a bit if we scored first in the first leg.
