Club Brugge put up “congrats to Marseille for qualifying” on their screens.

Oops.

CBS USA Henry, Carragher, Richards & Nico an Argentinian went bat shit crazy as well when they scored.
You’re 3-2 up and send the keeper up for a corner- mental

Cant believe I actually watched that

It"s a fucking brilliant header

Micah must be coked out of his head jeez

Carnage in Benfica
Vinicus scores a worldy over does celebration
Argetinisn allegedly says something racist Vini loses it.
Mbappe gets involved
Playing again but

A minefield and it has exploded today.

Watching it last night stuff in the timeline has not been accurately reported or even mentioned.
Vini overdid his celebration it could be called offensive- grinding his groin at the corner flag. Others joined in.
It went on a long time causing Benfica players to ask the ref then players to get a move on.
Vini wasn’t stopping or listening to the ref who speaks to him a 2nd time. Vini gets angry. Ref books him.

Deserved time wasting at best being a prick at worst. Vini loses it big time. Players lining up he running round arms out almost dribbling. A wild eyed loon was my impression, I was expecting a Red Card
Then Vini tells the ref something has been said.

No proof one way or other, probably was an Argentine insulting a Brazilian.

What is being correctly said in media is - no excuse for racism
What is missed is if Vini had listened to or respected the ref it would have de-escalated
Vini is a wrong un he was also wronged.
Glad he doesn’t play here

For my mind, and I may be well wide of the mark here and also playing Devil’s advocate, is the Boy that Cries Wolf.

So easy to cite racist remark when nothing has been said, true the other player had his shirt over his mouth but what did he say?

If Vini really thinks he was racially abused then he needs to, publically IMHO, say what he thought the other player said!!

Vini has a massive persecution complex, that is for sure…

Should be 6 or 7

It’s 5 another penalty Gordon’s 4th keeper gas nade 6 or 7 superb saves
Qarabag defence makes our PL russball look like prime Italia 90

18 attempts 15 on target

Comeback is on
Pope waves the ball into the net VAR says onside

OK, I’ve watched the video for the second yellow that got upgraded to a straight red and I think it was correct.

Kelly deliberately moves his legs so that he will land on the other player, there is nothing natural in his leg movements at all. Yeah he wasn’t looking at the other player but he knew where he was…

Personally I don’t care, even when shown in slow motion the pundits can’t agree so it’s solely down to the ref’s verdict.

Forest doing their best to throw away their 3 goal lead against Fenerbache. Trailing 0 - 2 at home.

Ah forget that Forest just scored to give them a 4 - 2 lead after 70 minutes
