I think they should allow it

Holy shit! Yes!!
That Escalante tackle was the most FIFA frustration tackle I've seen in a while. Straight up sliding tackle from behind with no chance to get the ball 
Goal given.
Wondergoal given.
Not the post i was waiting for from you
Looks like it is!That's now how it works
They just said "feck it, that's far too good to rule out"
You're still missing the point. To you that's obvious. To an English speaker its not. Now that you've enlightended us, it's easy to understand. But Darren Fletcher didn't have the benefit of your infinite wisdom unfortunately.
Really hope there is a goal in this game as I dread the "Is 0-0 a better result for the home or away side" thread being resurrected. If you think the last two pages have been bad...
Eh? That doesn't look right
It stands!
But my god Var destroyed the hype for that goal

Have UEFA cancelled away goals for ties like these ones that are taking place in random countries?
Honestly, Bayern is the biggest favorite to win the UCL. Yes, their season in Bundesliga hasn't been anywhere as consistently brilliant and ruthless as last season. But that was a series so insanely brilliant and unsustainable. They also may have issues of tiredness due to lack of pre-season. They suffered with injuries and have a thin squad. Their defense has left a lot to desire and they often started games too slowly.
But, when they really turn on and are inspired, they can still steamroll teams! Their talent and collective chemistry is amazing. I can see Bayern again destroying in the UCL while doing just the bare minimum to win the Bundesliga

Thought Atletico player put Giroud in there. Could see by how they react to it.
Football gods! Kinda weird they wouldn't show replay on telly thoughThat's now how it works
Defender played it back, not Mount so no offside. Noice!
Big man Giroud!
I no longer understand football
Football is so useless with those VAR rules. Why can’t we hear what they’re discussing and get our own replays? No we just have to wait without any further replays or communication for 5 minutes. Worthless.
Came off the A Madrid defender it seems? What's their plan B now?
Is that one of the worst clear VAR decisions we've seen?
Edit: I didn't see the Madrid players touch.

Great goal by Giroud.
VAR is the only reason there is an hype for the goal.
Chelsea deserve that Atletico have been crap
Took them an age to decide what was a pretty simple and clear decision. Who passed it, they don't need 3 minutes ffs
I'm alright with him not knowing, really no one took offense. Just slightly bemused by german speakers being corrected by english speakers on their language.
Well it was flagged offside before hand so if VAR wasn’t there then there would be no hype
They'll probably go from a back 6 to a back 5 and score 2 goals.
The goal was ruled out by the linesman. VAR actually restored the hype in this case
Giroud
0-1
0-1
"I restored the hype" would be good on a t-shirt
You cracked the case, he apparently didn't do research, used half of what's printed on the badge, someone pointed out that it is nonsensical in German and then came a couple of guys who were like "wait a minute, you might be a native speaker, but I'm actually really smart, sir" and now we are here. With a guy who didn't make it past the headline of a Wikipedia article.Or maybe just called them the name on their badge?
Am I missing something? How is that a goal?
Crazy to spend £115m on a forward then play 6 at the back
Came off the defender...
Mount didn't play the pass to Giroud, it was a scuffed clearance from the Atletico player.
Replays of the goal but not the touch from the defender? Seems odd they didn't show a good angle of the talking point.
the defender flicked it in the air so he cant be off
