Funnily enough, they have been rewritten. As from tomorrow, it is a penalty according to the new lawsIt was definitely chest first deflected on to upper arm. That's not in dispute. That's never been a penalty in football, ever. It's like an inside edge ruling out lbw. The rules of football haven't literally just been rewritten and what's ridiculous is every ref turned pundit trying to justify it. A ball that deflects off another player into someone's arm has to be a penalty from now on. Basically every single handball is a penalty now. We're gonna see this crap for a couple of years before FIFA realise the utter stupidity of what they've done.
Love them.
Sorry forgot about the runners up medal almost feels like a trophy.
Drink a bottle of bleach?
What a horrid thing to say.
Yeah, but in 2008 we were in the LEAGUE CUP FINAL.... not the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!No. But we shouldn't be congratuling ourselves over defeat either.
Other big clubs don't, why should we?
We're on our worst run of results since 2008. Let's not bury our heads in the sand and pretend it ain't happening
That first bullshit of a penalty decision ruined the game. Simple asFolks need to stop using harry Kane and Sissoko as the escape goats today. Nobody showed up today via the attack. Nobody.
Why are you joinig the Idiot club? youre normally better than this.
No way in hell that's pen. I don't care what "rules" are saying. That's never pen.That first bullshit of a penalty decision ruined the game. Simple as
We aren't going to see this bullshit from now on, because from this moment (the moment that peno was whistled) it won't ever be called again. Theres no fucking way.It was definitely chest first deflected on to upper arm. That's not in dispute. That's never been a penalty in football, ever. It's like an inside edge ruling out lbw.

Sorry, we produced the greatest CL final performance in history.
Proud of the boys.
We haven’t performed miracles - we won games to be in this position. Like we did against Leicester in the league or Chelsea , or the FA cup or league cup semi finals but the didn’t capitalise on that . And no I’m not only vocal after defeats so please don’t lie I have repeatedly said this whatever the result - there is a clear pattern which everyone would recognise with other clubs but bury their head in the sand with their own club . This mindset amongst the fans is part of the problem.
Sadly you don't win things with that game plan we had tonight.Yeah, but in 2008 we were in the LEAGUE CUP FINAL.... not the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!
I know we won it.. but hey, what would you prefer.... League Cup 'glory' or a tilt at the Champions League??
Get some fucking perspective!
Bit strong mate. Perhaps a few niggly STDs?To each and every one of you cunts who've turned on the team tonight and labelled them bottlers etc again...
I hope you all fucking die.
