Fallen Muppet. Lest we never forget
What the feck is this game
Are you new to portuguese football? There’s a bonkers never seen before ref decision every week.What is that VAR decision seriously can’t believe they went all the way back to somebody being accidentally tripped up. Ridiculous.
It’s almost as stunning at the Fiorentina one against SPAL(I think) last seasonAre you new to portuguese football? There’s a bonkers never seen before ref decision every week.
I’ll admit that the ref calling a freekick, going to VAR, calling a penalty, going to VAR again and then deciding to not call a penalty is actually pretty special though

First and third were clear penalties, the second was 50/50.Have any of these been pens? all look nowhere near the player
I was watching at a bar and some angles seemed to show a small touch. Either way, I don't think it was a clear mistake, so VAR is supposed to stay quiet.50/50? Doesn't even touch him
No VAR check, nothing. At 2-1 he gives that penalty in the 85th minute to make it 2-2... how in the feck is that possible? Seriously, it's unbelievable the amount of incompetency necessary for that game to happen. So unbelievable you'd have to be a complete moron to believe professional referees that are unbiased were in that VAR room.
And there was a penalty on Raphinha not called too in the first half. The most blatant penalty of the whole game
Pushes his shirt? You have to be joking.Just watched it again at home, he pushes his shirt a bit, I'd be angry at Coates, not the ref.
I don't think it was a penalty but Coates makes a movement and slightly pulls his shirt, which probably fooled the ref. I keep hearing the VAR is only supposed to intervene when it's an obvious mistake and I can understand how in this case they didn't consider it was. But again, I don't think it was a penalty.Pushes his shirt? You have to be joking.
He literally touched his shirt slightly with his hand, doesnt even pull it at all. It's one of the most blatant dives you'll ever see. Reading everywhere in the media criticism to the refs even by rival fans who are disgusted at it and you tell me that's a penalty????
Mad at Coates? For defending? He doesn't even slightly foul him. It's a complete disgrace of a decision.
You can't tell me this after the way they took our penalty away last week. You can't just use VAR however you want it from week to week depending on how much it fecks us over.I don't think it was a clear mistake, so VAR is supposed to stay quiet.
That's fair, they have been using VAR way too much in situations they shouldn't, so they could've used it today too.You can't tell me this after the way they took our penalty away last week. You can't just use VAR however you want it from week to week depending on how much it fecks us over.
Sure, it's supposedly meant to only fix blatantly obvious mistakes. That's not how it's been used so far though.
My problem isn't with the ref btw. I understand that the shirt movement might have fooled him, that can happen. But with VAR there are no excuses to not correct those mistakes.
He was saying that it is incredible how easy it is to give calls against Sporting and that Portuguese football will never move forward like this.And I thought the refs in Scotland were bad
Can someone tell me what the interviewer was asking Bruno at the end? He clearly wasn’t happy and stormed off
You said it all my friend you said it all!I went into the stadium for the first time this season. It was utterly ridiculous to watch the movements of the team.
It was so fecking bad that I will not even comment Coates or the second penalty, looking in the stadium the first and third looked quite obvious to me.
On the first half Rio Ave had always the same movement, after a couple of passes between their midfield, they made a pass between Thierry and Coates and it was a disaster waiting to happen.
This coach has to be sacked this weekend, I am not lying if I say we are the worst team of the league regarding our defensive organisation and transition. Atrocious.
The only 2 players with class are Mathieu and Fernandes, but my god, if Carvalhal was our manager today they would win this 3:0.
As usual it is easy to give 3 penalties against us, but our football department is a fecking joke. You just need to compare their mental attitude with the futsal guys, or even handball/roller hockey.
I want the guy sacked because it’s unacceptable that I am looking into the pitch and while Carvalhal was making substitutions our inept coach was with his hands in the pocket doing nothing.
Feck this shit, and sell this club to financial crooks and gangsters, at least sell the football side to private investors.
Even criminals would be more competent than this inept Lisbon elite who has ruled the club during decades.
No more football in the stadium, rather watch handball/ futsal or our under 23.
Congratulations to Carvalhal, feck the referee, and by the way that guy they signed from Iran would be useful for us. Nothing more to say really.
Yeah I went with the kid and returned home completely destroyed. You’re going back to the States? If so good luck and don’t waste your energy with this idiots.You said it all my friend you said it all!
I was at the stadium as well and I could not believe how every game he waits until the 80th minute to make subs AND he does not even use all of his subs. Sporting at home vs Rio Ave and we sub on...Borja? Unbelievable. Carvalhal did a fantastic job and I won't even use the penalties as an excuse. Rio Ave looked like the home team, Sporting would not press them at all. Rio Ave had more possession, More passes, More completed passes and more importantly more goals. Nothing left to say.
Side note: Matheus doing fantastic at WBA when it is obvious he needed to stay. The people who run this club are a joke.
My last game of the summer as I will be leaving again and I am beyond disappointed.
But you guys are much better than Crystal Palace..I went into the stadium for the first time this season. It was utterly ridiculous to watch the movements of the team.

Ya I will be heading back to the states on the 5th so it is a shitty way to leaveYeah I went with the kid and returned home completely destroyed. You’re going back to the States? If so good luck and don’t waste your energy with this idiots.
The only good thing today was that the majority of the stadium was really pissed with the way the coach only made his first sub with 10/15 minutes to play.
I hope Varandas isn’t afraid to do the right thing. If not he has to be sacked too.
Dude give up...You said Wolves would be second in Italy...But you guys are much better than Crystal Palace..
Never said nothing about Palace. Pointless argument.But you guys are much better than Crystal Palace..
This league is a joke. Porto have 90 minutes to play with an extra man. We all know this game is basically over now.Red card to Guimarães in the first minute in Porto for absolutely no reason at all as there was another defender there.
VAR does absolutely nothing. Again.
If you don't mind me asking..Why?I can't be mad today because I dislike Vitória with a passion.
Like watching Scottish refs. I would argue that Scotland is the most corrupt league in Europe40 seconds into the game, shoulder to shoulder challenge, another defender right next to Tapsoba and the ref gives a STRAIGHT RED??! Daylight robbery that.
The refs in Portugal are a joke. We are easily the second most corrupt league in all of Europe after Greece!
Must be top 3 with Portugal and Greece then because I have never seen anything like what happens in the Portuguese league. It is shocking.Like watching Scottish refs. I would argue that Scotland is the most corrupt league in Europe
