Game on in Istanbul...
Brilliant, simply brilliant.
There's a fierce amount of foam coming out of Klopp's mouth.
Joaquin puts a new meaning on the long goodbye.
Good god, what a finish. And there's still time! Fittingly, Santana's winner was almost as offside as the Malaga goal.
Scottish referees:rolleyes: Just 4 Dortmund players offside for that goal.
I'm gutted Trevor.
I'm over the moon, Clive.
Allowing that last goal to stand was one of the worst example of inept officiating at a high level game since ..... that Portuguese f'ecker in Belgium.
4 no less were offside when that ball was lumped into the box.
A travesty Tommy, a true travesty.
The way he let the ball beat him was sublime!Quote:

I'm going to speculate, based on no evidence at all, that he was "evening things up" after allowing Malaga's second to stand. This is something we know all referees do, Gary.Quote:

That can only be a blatant conspiracy to keep a third Spanish team out of the semis.
Are you sure about the offsides? On close look the Malaga guy was level with the ball and man when it was played.
The 4 Dortmund players were played on by the right back who was level with the most advanced of the 3. A 4th was offside but not active as tha ball was played way over him.
The goalscorer was offside but the ball was going in anyway so Dortmund got no advantage one could argue.
Happy to review again but that's what I think.
You know where you can shove your wet dream, long ball, lump it and hope merchants.Quote:

Absolutely clear about the offside for Dortmund's last goal. One of them is blatantly offside and 3 of them are clearly offside, judging by the cut on the grass.Quote:

I wouldn't argue with Keown, he doesn't take prisoners.
Allowing the Malaga goal was just poor officiating, can happen any time, allowing the Dortmund goal was in Mr Magoo territory.Quote:
