Did it all start with Jurgen Klinsmann, the dive bomber

Don ****ing Revie and Filthy Leeds United

Seem to remember Franny Lee being an early pioneer of the art of cheating. And his legacy continues at City over fifty years on.

Ref and linos in Villa Newcastle were ****ing awful

[ChesterDave]

Juve player subbed on half time second yellow 22inutes later. Superb cameo

Juve player subbed on half time second yellow 22inutes later. Superb cameo

He was also responsible for the first two Galatasaray goals in the second half, and almost got a second yellow earlier for laying hands on the ref

And he only came on because the player he was replacing was on a yellow

One of the all time great cameos

It’s kicking off at Benfica after Vini scored & apparently upset the local fans & it looks like a Benfica player has said something to upset Vini , possibly racial but I’m not sure. The match was delayed for 10 mins & nothing more happened. Mbappe got involved too defending Vini.

It was Prestianni that was being accused but no doubt the fans were giving it to him.

[ChesterDave]

Prestianni is claiming Mbappe misheard. The precise moment Mbappe reacts is when Prestianni covered his mouth. I suppose the shirt could have muffled the sound causing the mishearing. Or he just thought he could get away with it with his mouth hidden from cameras

If it wasn't racist why did he feel the need to cover his mouth?

[ChesterDave]

Yeah, it's suspicious. I get players and coaches mightt want to do it talking tactics. If you want to look to the best explanation for him you could say it was force of habit from that but the reaction concidiing with that makes it look bad.

Yep agreed on tactics. No one pulls their shirt over their face though and the fact that he chose that point to do that makes it pretty clear to me he said what Mbappe accused him of

[SB]

Mourinho's comments made me laugh a bit about the greatest Benfica player being black after seeing this. I’m not sure if anyone else spotted it but some time after the goal Vini was heading over to the corner flag & you can see a guy to the right hand side doing a monkey climbing a tree gesture towards him. I’m sure the authorities wouldn’t find it too hard to find him & have a chat.
