I don't really care where they happen. It still says something troubling about his character, or lack of it, to me. He's a horrid piece of work and there's a long history of offenses that supports that view.

Completely missing the point

You're saying Costa/Suarez aren't in charge of their actions and therefore shouldn't be criticized for them?

Of course it's not missing the point.

No I'm saying it's right to criticise what Suarez does on the pitch ('cos he does a lot of despicable stuff ) but I wouldn't go as far hating him because I believe its not something he can control in the heat of the moment. Psychologists seem to think so too. And the fact that he makes the effort to seek help confirms what I think.

BTW I'm not commenting on Costa because I have read virtually nothing about him.

I know we don't like our midfield very much, but that a club like City can field a midfield consisting of Fernando and Fernandinho? That's much worse.

Anyway, I'm done with this Suarez talk. Let's agree to disagree and enjoy the games

That was so shit of Cavani. Should have released the ball to Matuidi two seconds earlier.

surely a pen for PSG?

Great start to the game

Looked a red a pen.

Hmm. Might have to take that back. The timing of the pass looked better on the rerun.

Nah, a little too much weight on the pass and about a second late.

I reckon the referee didn't want to kill the game this early. If it had ben the second half Mangala would surely be off. "Shoulder to shoulder" doesn't mean you can shove someone off the ball using your shoulder without gaining possession of the ball in the process.

Yeah, that's what it looked like to me too.

Penalty to PSG. Fairly obvious one too.

The referee should follow the rules no matter what half it is. Silly rule though, so I'm not complaining.

Edit: Red card and penalty that is.

Pen to PSG

Hmm this one looks soft to me

Yeah, Bob looked for contact in the situation. Still a penalty for me though.

Saved

Hart makes a good save. He gets down quickly.
