Newcastle Fan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Buffon might never return to a football field after this, devastating last season to one of the best goal keepers ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I mean it might be the right decision. I still can't decide from the replays I've seen. But honestly, who puts Michael Oliver in charge of a game like this. He's a terrible referee. Michael Oliver, terrible? Not a chance, he's easily one of the best around. Hom being one of the best doesn’t mean he can’t been terrible. Refereeing standards these days is a joke. Homophobic slurs are uncalled for, however you feel about his refereeing ability.

Kasper Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 How can people say the pen is even soft ffs? Clear as day it's a pen. Charges straight into the back of him. Arms then body then thigh along with a dodgy leg round the side. If it was Varane on Higuain everyone would be saying it's stonewall Yep. Ridiculous to even discuss it.

Dr.Spaceman Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Salty bastards! As if Michael Oliver had a choice, the Juve player made contact with the man before getting somewhere near the ball. As far as I'm aware you've never been allowed to tackle from that angle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Wont see a pen like that again all season. Total garbage How can you say that man. He's pushed him in the back as he's about to control it and then wrapped his leg around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The only bad decision there was Benatia not getting a red card for either a second yellow, or denying a goalscoring opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Can't decide if it's a red or not. But sending Buffon off is completely wrong. You can't get into a refs face like that, bumping into him as well. Ref has zero choice but to give a red. As much as i hated seeing it given as well. Not seen the incident, but have to say most of not all the big name refs would deserve it, fucking cunts, especiallly the English ones. Not sure Oliver has done owt wrong tbh. Penalty looks soft but you can't do what Buffon did. Again, not seen because I don’t have BT Sport, however theirs a number of referee who could be punched in the face and it would be deserved, Oliver being one of them. Harsh but quite true in some respects. Don’t get me wrong, further down the leagues and at non-league (like yourself I believe) you need to give the referee as much respect as you can and I’m sure he’ll be as fair as you can. Those at the top though are a different breed. They are just middle class arseholes who do it as a hobby/way into to some sort of self regulated back slapping club and have no respect for the role, sport, players, fans, managers, or clubs.

wormy Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I wanted Juve through for Buffon and nothing else, so I'm gutted about the whole sequence. But I don't know how people can argue it wasn't deserved. Penalty, no matter whether it's soft or not, it's a penalty. And Buffon can't react like that. Shit, but the occasion doesn't change it.

M4 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 From the debate on here I was expecting the incident to be more controversial. Having seen the images, and as much as I would enjoy seeing Real get screwed over don't see how you can't give a pen there. The Buffon red card seems exaggerated though. Ref grandstanding?

Guest neesy111 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It's a pen but the player goes down a bit to easy for my liking. If the defender isn't as rash then chance it might not be given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he's clearly looking at the ball. he barely touched him, he was totally waiting to flop as soon as it came. How many pens you seen like that this season? Probably none as you very rarely see someone clattering a player from behind so recklessly in the box. Just look at that photo man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
