Europa League and Conference League semi finals

[cj_sparky]

Nice to see Shakhtar still like a Brazilian player, just the seven starting and five on the bench.

What on earth was Taylor thinking giving that pen? Outrageous.

That decision right there is why people dislike VAR. That was a weak penalty if given on the field but to send him to the monitor for that..... ludicrous

Think Marinakis got to this referee.

Stuart Atwell is on VAR, he is also VAR for our match against Liverpool on Sunday

Good luck with that...

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Palace leading again.

 

[StamsShinyHead]

Rayooooooooo

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Rayo Vallecano leading Strasbourg.

 

[MarylandMUFan]

Villa in trouble with a VAR.

 

[Reij]

Pen to Forest. Dumbass moment.

 

[CloneMC16]

That is unbelievably dumb by Digne.

 

[Big Ron’s Coat]

Comfirmed.

 

[RedRocket9908]

On field review, penalty incoming

 

[Chairman Steve]

Oh Lucas, why digne move your arms away there!

 

[DomesticTadpole]

That was a bit stupid. What was he thinking?

 

[DJ_21]

Imagine forest win this and get relegated. Would it be the first ever championship team to play in the CL?

 

[CloneMC16]

That penalty is insanely good.

 

[Big Ron’s Coat]

That was a bit stupid. What was he thinking?

Bizarre. But VAR intervening there after clearing that Anderson challenge is scandalous.

 

[DJ_21]

People wanting Emery to take over us should look at this performance. Villa have been boring

 

[RopersReturn]

McGinns touches have been way too heavy this evening.

 

[Doracle]

That is unbelievably dumb by Digne.

Why do you think it was dumb out of interest? Do you think he made a conscious decision to put his hand in the air?

He has a peak and it’s the likes of Villa and Seville. Not clubs like Arsenal/PSG.

 

[Klopper76]

If you put your arms up like that, it signals intent to block the ball with them.

 

[Doracle]

If you put your arms up like that, it signals intent to block the ball with them.

No, it signals that you have sub-consciously raised your arms as you are leaning backwards and stretching. He thinks the ball is going out of play. He has no intention of blocking anything.

I don’t particularly have an issue with a penalty being given there. However, it’s not the player being stupid.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Palace with a third.

 

[RedRocket9908]

Palace 3-1 up, I thought they would stuggle away from home against Shakhtar

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Imagine the 17th placed Premier League team could win the Europa League two years in a row.

 

[Semper Fudge]

Thought I'd have a look at the Villa forum. Impossible to navigate. Match day thread will either not load pages or have about 3 posts on it.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

If Palace win the Conference, will Arsenal be the only London club without a European trophy?

 

[Big Ron’s Coat]

Imagine the 17th placed Premier League team could win the Europa League two years in a row.

Will be a crime against football if they do and secure CL next season. Shouldn’t even be in this competition.

Brentford as well probably

Fulham?

Brentford.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Braga take late lead against Freiburg.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

Don’t think they are without - they won the European Cup Winners Cup a couple of years after us in the 90’s.

 

[Baxquux]

Arsenal have got a Cup Winners Cup from the mid 90s (sadly old enough to have vague memories of watching this final as a child)

 

[hellhunter]

Fulham?

Intertoto cup 2002 apparently
