Critical thinking should be applied to everything though. Just because I question what’s happened tonight doesn’t mean I think I’m right, I’m just trying to understand what’s gone on!
Champions League | Matchday 6

Wonderful 2nd from Juve
yeh, maybe, might agree with the out of touch bit tbf.
True, Valverde won league titles so casually that the fans starting believing they would win them by default, didnt turn out that way.Good times when Barca were chastising Ernesto Valverde for leading the league table 3 years in a row and losing 3-4 on aggregate to the most in-form Liverpool side in 3 decades.
This new Barca 3 points above relegation, getting rekt at home by any half decent side, under a coach who plays 4-2-4 against a 5 men midfield Juve, is sure as hell the biggest improvement I've ever seen in football.
I think they would have won 3 in a row if they didnt fire him for some Betis-nobody.
You're not questioning what's happened tonight. Just like you don't question what's happened in previous incidents.
You usually come in, deny something is racist,
You commenting on other people being 'woke' and sarcastically suggesting others call you racist for no reason is not trying to understand what's gone on. It's just trolling other people, as you seem to revel in doing unless someone has done something that for you is explicty and unreservedly racist (ie nigger, racist beating etc).
Has the match been called off?
Do we go through if PSG lose?
No, worse head to head.
They were already coming apart at the seams under him and there's no way to know how they would have fared with him post-COVID
This barca side is a young team missing their defensive pillar(and now all the people who've been criticising pique might start to realize just how huge he was for them), their best goalscorer, and the guy who covered the cracks that had been there since the end of the 15/16 season by turning into a God is now very human and very unhappy to be there
Well will you tell me what was said in the PSG match that was racist? I don’t know, you don’t know, and it would be premature to say Im trolling when we have no idea what was said and in what context.
Hard to say if the intentions were wrong. If you point out someone in a group, you usually use physical characteristics.."the guy with the ponytail", "the redhead", "the guy with the dick-tattoo on his forehead"...but some characteristics you can't point out.
Very strange that some people think if the official had used the term 'black guy' in a public and professional setting it somehow makes it acceptable.
The refs don't know the names of the assistant coaches, my guess is that he was just trying to identify him and there was a bit of a misunderstand due to language barrier. We'll know exactly what happened soon enough though
We know what happened, the french TV played a clear sample. The refs were talking between themselves in romanian, the 4th refs told the pitch ref who to give the card to by calling the assistant "negru", meaning black in romanian. He said it twice.
Lenglet
Still, it's very stupid thing to do tbh. He could have pointed at him. Skin color description in the current context, it's asking for trouble
You replying sarcastically to someone that 'they're so woke cos they don't see skin colour' is trolling. Your trolling is totally independent of what was or wasn't said in the PSG match.
As I've said, I've had these discussions with you multiple times and given you the benefit of the doubt each time but your response in pretty much any thread involving a hint of racism is always the same. So don't think there's any need to really.
I can go back to being 'woke' and jlic an go back to investigating what happened in the match I guess.
Barca needs two new CBs in next summer 
Pirlo asking for a yellow to get Lenglet send off... what a cnut. Pirlo that is.
Im shocked this is your take on this. Shocked.
He was 100% right though
PSG match is going to start with a new 4th Official.
Umtiti incoming
If this is the case then it's collective gross incompetence on the officials, perhaps with a racist undertone but that would be difficult to ajudge without knowing the officials' conduct in their daily lives and if anything within the sideline incident(s) led to the use of the singling out by color.
The proper way should have been to call over the manager to ask the name of the assistant and then send off that particular person by name or once the assistant reported over to the official. All of this could have been avoided with competence.
Lenglet is a fraud.
Should have called the manager over, got the name/assistant to report over, then sent off. Officiating incompetence.
There is no need to mention his skin color indeed when he can easily be pointed at.
They’re the most controversial threads and a topic I find interesting, Not going to deny some of the ‘woke’ stuff annoys me, probably because I just don’t see how it’s helping.
There was a precedent with the Romanian referee : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/f...estigated-by-Uefa-for-not-stopping-match.html
Also similar stories in Romanian league.

Game over now I think. Leipzig can't blow this from here.
That defending by United, guarantee they defend like Baresi and co at the weekend after the shit show today.
Of course, but it is highly pathetic to be doing that as a coach.
And I thought our defense is shit. Clownish defending from United, what was that?
We can enjoy Thursdays together now, United fans
Me watching Juve humiliate Barca.
Me watching Red Bull humiliate United.
Me watching Red Bull humiliate United.
Thats not a pen but United back in it.
Peno Fernandes for Pen United
Not even worth using up the words anymore.
Good lord you Leipzig idiots
