Chelsea are so exciting and vibrant, it’s what Man Utd used to be.

So much wrong with that decision. First of all Pulisic fouls Blind before he tackles Abraham. That should stop the attack. 2nd of all that penalty was just bullshit. His hand cannot be close to the body. Another red because of that.

Ref completely ruined that game.
Exactly what I came here to post. The first foul is on Blind. Everything else is a result

I agree with you in theory but the rules seem to be the rules. It's a penalty all day in 2019.
I thought the rule is an unnatural position, so a player sliding to block a shot or turning your back to block a shot. The guy literally just stood there hands by his side

I know the lad is excited scoring in the champions league but he really needed to grab the ball and run back to the half way line, game isnt done and he was celebrating like ole against bayern.

Can’t help but fell that if we were 2-4 down against Ajax with a pen & them having 2 players sent off the game would end 2-5.

Great game tbf

Dortmund ahead

Inter down to effectively 10 men due to politano getting injured right after coming on

Never a penalty. Complete nonsense.
Going to agree, with new laws. Refereeing in the game has been rather insane.

UEFA must be really desperate to keep BT TV cash.

We'll take it though :lol:

For what?
The ref isnt supposed to be the biggest star on the field. He has been giving cards for very little since the beginning of the match. Not just to Ajax but to Chelsea too.
As a ref you’re supposed to understand that when you give someone a red card in a match like this, some players will get a bit angry. If we start giving out cards for angry gestures or shouting then every match will end up 8 vs 8.
Also I thought Blind got tripped by a chelsea player before he made the foul but I might have seen that wrong.

That used to be the rule, not anymore. It is a shit rule but it is the rule.
So they had that rule for less than a year? I thought it was new rule from the start of 2019 in the CL.

I agree with that, I said earlier in the thread that I didn't like the look of this ref before things went mad.
