Is there a rulebook? Do refs read it? Do they even care? The decisions being made are all over the place

Well we don't have oil money like PSG.
This is more of a penalty than other handballs that have been given in the CL. He moves his arm to play the ball and gains a clear advantage. It's also clearly not in a natural position.
It won't really matter but holy hell has Joselu been terrible.
Mental deficiency is plaguing the entire profession, I say.
I am sure there was a teams call between the officials and UEFA earlier today that just saved Copenhagen
Bayern are appealing at the whistle as if they give a feck.
None of the penalties in the Copenhagen game a few weeks ago should have been given either. But yeah, the inconsistent application of the rules is maddening.What on earth is going on??
That’s more of a penalty than ones we’ve conceded in the CL this season
Impressive. Women refs are just as bad as the men.
Nine times out of ten bayern beats Copenhagen at home just typical they didn't tonight and to rub salt into the wounds a hand ball is not given as penalty in this group.
So after that draw.
United can now only go through by beating Bayern and hoping Galatasary and Copenhagen finishes in a draw.

Bellingham's on another planet.
Disadvantages of an earlier game. Teams can screw other teams over. If they needed to win to go through they’d win that game about 5/6-0
OK finally thank feck.
It has nothing to do with her being a woman but that has been one of the worst refs in recent history. How is she allowed in a CL match?
The Bayern v Copenhagen game is. Just finished 0-0
Bellingham is genuinely Zidane levels here.
Yeah poor Bayern, never been on the good end of a soft call.
Copenhagen v Galatasaray will be interesting. Big reward for one of them
Hopefully they cancel each other out.
Maybe Madrid wil return the favour for selling them a peak Ronaldo? One can wish.
Bellingham is truely a phenomenal player.
Gives the assist for the fourth goal.
4-2

Copenhagen have been carried through two matches by VAR now.
I reckon it's gonna be Sunderland 11/12 levels of fluke disappointment again for United...... miraculously beat a non-caring Bayern, Copa-Gala drawing until the 98th minute, you heard it hear first.
What a player Bellingham is.
He put it on a plate for Rudiger earlier in the game but great save and then nearly made it 3-2 and Joselu bottled the rebound almost open net. He was impeccable again.
At some point he'll get tired of dominating two team league and will want to come home.
Which is still probably more competitive than that pathetic league you dominate year after year
Yeah, I reckon there will be a few twists and turns before the inevitable sucker punch
To a league dominated by one team?
You just fecking know it. Would be the cherry on top.
Great so our only way to progress now is for Copenhagen and Galatasaray to draw and us beat Bayern at home
Bayern have not been great this campaign either despite their impressive points accumulation. They've been lucky in more than a few games. We'd be right up there with them were it not for that bumbling idiot in our goal.
I honestly do not know what the handball rules are supposed to be now but to me, seeing what the Copenhagen player was doing, I don’t think it was a penalty tonight.
Bellingham is something else.
Joselu too but for different reasons

Well, the ball can hit the arm if the contact is high enough. This clearly was a very high contact and could easily be argued that it shouldn't be a hand ball because of that. Yesterday the ball hit the Newcastle player on the elbow, not the same.
Zero possiblity of Bayern not caring for this game. Full strength, complete focus 200% mentality.
They'll be replaying clips of the 99 final before kick off, having legends walk in and tell them about the pain of losing and how ever meeting since is a an opportunity for revenge. Wheeling out little Johnny Hoffmeister who was just 4 when the game took place and has been crying efficiently ever since.
United never get to play the second string, let alone Bayern's second string.
The standard of officiating is really in the toilet, how that penalty didn't get given after the penalties given against United in this same group is scandalous. They can't just change the rules when it suits them, all we want is consistency.
The sour grapes award goes to...
I agree but that has been given in the champions league several times so far, and now suddenly it's not. It's those inconsistencies that are killing the game.
This was arm then body, yesterday was body then arm. This was imo way more a penalty than yesterday.
That the VAR intervened after 3 possible (soft) penalties before where he didnt intervene was ridiculous.
