Pack your bags, get your coat and switch off the lights. Top level football is utterly finished.
PSG penalty?
That's the one.

Unless of course the defender deliberately chested a ball which was blasted at him onto his own left elbow.
No consistency at all with VAR although this was an issue everyone seemed to agree on. Ironic that the commentators spent the entire game going on about how glorious the ref was only for that to happen at the death.

God knows where you would even begin implementing a sin bin.

I'm already considering how the sin bin will be abused e.g. with 2 minutes to go in the game, you don't care too much about a 10 min penalty, thus incentivizing foul play.

From UEFA Apri 2023. "In their guidelines for the next season, the Board recommends that UEFA should clarify that no handball offence should be called on a player if the ball is previously deflected from his own body and, in particular, when the ball does not go towards the goal."
That worked well then. :roll:

Unbelievable - four first-half goals in a Brazilian Serie A match!!

Weather looks horrendous in Galatasary for the Man U match.

Seen some images of the ref bouncing the ball and it stopped stone dead on the 2nd bounce, weather often brings opportunity and is worth checking in advance especially in the autumn/winter months.

Fantastic match so far though, 6 goals with 17 mins to go ... lets have a 7th :)

Brilliant game of football, both all in for a winner as well. Scalpers dream at the mo, money flying in all over the place.

Swansea's first minute goal at Leeds fooled my automation.

Edit: equaliser in 3!

Picked the 2.5 market for the Arsenal match and it's all over after 25 minutes!

The TNT red button doesn't tell you what channels the matches are on until the last five minutes!
