🚨🗣️ Jamie Carragher on how Atlético Madrid were “robbed,” pointing to the two penalties that weren’t awarded and explaining how the IFAB rules support those decisions:
“Listen, I’ve been in this game a long time, played in some of the biggest nights in Europe but what we’ve just witnessed at the Emirates is an absolute DISGRACE. Atlético Madrid have been ROBBED blind in this Champions League semi-final, and if you’re an Arsenal fan celebrating right now, you should be embarrassed.
The laws of the game are crystal clear, and they’ve been twisted into knots to protect the home side. This isn’t refereeing, this is scripting!
First off, Gabriel’s blatant shirt-pull and yank on Giuliano Simeone, that’s a STONEWALL penalty under IFAB Law 12, plain and simple. Holding an opponent, impeding their progress, especially when the lad’s clean through on an empty net? It’s a direct free-kick in the box, it’s DOGSO, and in half these cases it’s a red card too.
VAR had every angle, Daniel Siebert and his German crew looked at it… and waved it away? Come on! If that was Saka or anyone in an Arsenal shirt, it’s given in a heartbeat. That’s not ‘not clear and obvious’, that’s officials hiding behind the screen to keep Arsenal in the tie. Robbery. Pure and simple.
Then Griezmann gets clattered in the box by Calafiori, reckless challenge, Law 12 again, careless or excessive force, penalty all day long. They invent some phantom ‘prior foul’ nonsense to bail them out?
VAR protocol doesn’t work like that! You’re meant to check the specific incident, not rewrite the build-up to favour the big Premier League club. Atlético are creating chance after chance, fighting with more heart than I’ve seen from some of these Arsenal players, and they get NOTHING. Soft calls one way, ignored shouts the other, time-wasting ignored, it’s one-way traffic from the whistle.
it’s not fair, it’s not right, and it’s a stain on the competition. Diego Simeone’s men deserve better than this. ¡ROBO! The football world is watching, and we all see it. What a joke.”
El Atlético de Madrid es encontrarse a Benjamín Netanyahu comiéndose un escalope bien guapo de peluquería. Nuestra gente. Purasangres Atlético de Madrid.
lo de los argentinos con el mate es como si los españoles fuéramos a todas partes con una tapa de paella y un bote de tinto de verano don simón

Debería implantarse una regulación que no permitiera entrar en una lista electoral a personas que no tengan mínimo 5 años cotizados en el sector privado.

Naces en el sur de Londres y tu padre te hace del Crystal Palace.
Lees los libros de historia y en 120 años no has ganado nada.
Llegas a una final y tu rival es el City.
La cosa no pinta bien pero al final terminas abrazado a tu padre dándole las gracias por hacerte de ese club.
Ser un cateto del Madrid o el Barça no tiene nada que ver con ser de pueblo. Eres un cateto porque teniendo en tu provincia un club histórico te vendes a un "grande" y te tapas con su edredón traicionando el esfuerzo y la memoria de tus mayores.
Cateto no, eres un sinvergüenza.
Qué ambiente desolador vamos a ver hoy. Estamos hundidos, enfadados, indignados y lo peor de todo es sentir que estamos solos porque solo Simeone nos defiende.
