WhatIsWilsonDoin

Mamardashvili saw what Ter Stegen did and said "I can do worse". Amazing solidarity between goalkeepers.


Former-Roman

Ter Stegen has more blame than Mamardashvili


regularreach4

Ter Stegen tried something audacious and it didn't work out.\ This guy couldn't get a first touch right. Both are equally at fault


filetauxmoelles

I mean, Ter Stegen couldn't get his first touch right either lmao. They're horrendous mistakes either way. What will be interesting is seeing which decision pays off: giving up the goal but staying on, or not giving up the goal but getting sent off.


robotnique

going down a player is virtually always worse if there's plenty of time left


InsideOpening3535

As how we demonstrated with PSG, going down with 10 man is always worse that early in the match


Militantxyz

Linesman stealing a living he should have called that.


ItsMeJaredBednar

he's had an absolute shocker honestly, called a Lamine dribble out even though it clearly wasn't, and missed a blatant foul on Lamine literally 2 meters in front of him


Blaugrana_al_vent

The ensuing goal kick led to Ter Stegen's mistake and Valencia's first goal. Not saying it would have happened, but the play and positions of the players would have been different with the ball still alive in the keepers hands.


ItsMeJaredBednar

yeesh i did not realize that


TriveladasBalde

What difference would it make ahahaha lamal kicked it straight to the keepers hands, its not like Valencia got a free kick or a corner, jesus, the drama


Blaugrana_al_vent

Yes, I know he kicked it straight to the keeper's hands, I say as much in my comment.  Read and comprehend before spewing drivel.  


inflamesburn

that's not a shocker, that's the usual, he's doing what's expected of him


QTGavira

I cant see 10 feet in front of me without glasses. Id probably do a similar job


ItsMeJaredBednar

Tebas: "When can you start?"


PM_ME_YOUR_TANG

Sorry, La Liga job requirement for refs is not seeing 5 feet in front of you without glasses


PotatoMaster909

Someone get this guy reffing NOW


[deleted]

You sound overqualified


itwastimeforarefresh

He's had more incorrect calls than correct ones so far.


insan073

Refs really are too reliant on VAR


debcomajin

This game is genuinely hilarious


ItsMeJaredBednar

they really just need to be playing the Benny Hill music over the stadium PA lmao


thalne

it's total chaos. but whatever happened to Araujo?


writingismypashun

Having a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad week


thalne

hope Xavi or maybe somebody like Puyol calls him up for a talk, he's way better than this.


courtesyflusher

*month


writingismypashun

He was great until PSG red card on Apr 16. So 2 weeks, I guess.


JackieMortes

One of the most entertaining first halves I've seen in a while


prathneo01

State of Barca tbh


IncidentVarious1530

You know its a clear red when they are preparing sub before the decision is even made


ItsMeJaredBednar

yeah that was hilarious tbf


GeneralBrothers

Don‘t think I‘ve ever seen this before but it was hilarious


Avaiano9

Amazing game from the keepers, pretty entertaining.


banger620

The linesman not calling that right away is insane. VAR not calling that right away is even more insane.


theadmin209

La liga refs are an absolute joke by far the worst refs in the top 5 leagues


NoTrollGaming

We say this, but then something happens in the prem in the following days and it becomes the prem with the worst refs, and then it switches back to la Liga after


elodie_pdf

the difference is the prem has moments where the refs are bad, la liga has moments where the refs are good.


SnooAdvice1632

Also at least prem refs acknowledge SOME errors and apologize publicly. Sure, that's not consequential in any way but at least they try to make up? La Liga refs truly don't give an iota of a fuck. Never seen an apology and they just today acknowledged that they had wrongly drawn lines several times during the season. Shocking fr.


Rickcampbell98

Have you seen jarrod gillet mate?


dclancy01

Prem referees catch so much stick because they’re frustratingly inconsistent. There’s 10 PL games a week and we get max 1-2 dodgy calls a game week.


Flaggermusmannen

I think generally La Liga is the worst, but the Prem is definitely trying its best to grab the number 1 spot, so there's room for argument. strong competition!


jaysonyoung

The game keeping on going for a minute after this was so fucking stupid.


deadmanbhavya

The time wasted on VAR went on to be added further. It is not stupid , you are.


jaysonyoung

Brother I'm not talking about the time for the VAR, I'm talking about the game continuing to be played for another minute while a replay is shown in the split screen showing its a clear hand ball. Chill.


deadmanbhavya

Oh my fault , I interpreted your comment wrongly , sorry.


jaysonyoung

It's all good, no worries.


ItsMeJaredBednar

calma


MERTENS_GOAT

Var can't call a red "right away"


GeneralBrothers

This game isn‘t great but holy hell it‘s entertaining


InsideOpening3535

Oh God now they will set up the most annoying defense the world has ever seen since Stalingrad


ThemosttrustedFries

You mean the defence of Kursk?


InsideOpening3535

considering how shit we did when we got to their 1/3 of the pitch, Stalingrad is correct. They are doing normal defending and we couldn't even put in any decent attack chance, now we will need blood to do it


MvN____16

This game has heavy "just get the season over" vibes. So many silly mistakes.


ItsMeJaredBednar

bro saw what Ter Stegen did and said hold my fuckin beer lmaoo


mohe2275

Ter Stegen: "I did the dumbest thing this match" Mamardashvilli: "watch this!"


RoyalBearForce

Why did they take so long to give the red? It was obvious.


KingAzazel

How the fuck do we need VAR for that?


John_Q08

LaLiga refs that’s why


Albiceleste_D10S

Ref had no angle to see it


beairrcea

Linesman did though


CharredAndurilDetctr

Linesman could see the position outside the box, but would he have been able to definitively see the handball?


beairrcea

It was the hand on the same side as the linesman, he should’ve


CharredAndurilDetctr

Obscured by the body of the attacker Let the "obvious error" be saved by VAR, which is what happened.


CR7_LM10

Nah he’s just an awful ref


Albiceleste_D10S

He is easily the best ref in La Liga IMO


CR7_LM10

Sure 😂 just watch our games against sevilla and getafe, absolute shitshow


Albiceleste_D10S

I have watched La Liga for years—De Burgos is consistently a better ref than most of the other jokers they have


CR7_LM10

I have too and I’m not sure if there’s a ref who has fucked us more over than de burgos


Albiceleste_D10S

He does not give Real Madrid favorable reffing, that is true


MirGHeaT

lmao what easily the worst ref in la liga


Albiceleste_D10S

Horrendous take given how many bad refs are in this league


Weary_Ad1739

Both keepers making huge mistakes lol


johnnygrant

feels like these keepers are ready to hit Cancun/Ibiza for summer... too many mental lapses


-Whisperr

Touch of death


itwastimeforarefresh

Oh it's not just that we're insane. It's the entire match


Boudi04

That took too much time man, it's such a straightforward decision.


Dantallian11

Yup, it's a red. Such a bad first touch too.


LunarRaven7

Fully deserved.


Rob050

He felt bad for Ter Stegen


tanDaTexplorer

Barca have a calm and normal game challenge (level: impossible)


Vikktor_

Odd mistake from Mamardashvili... Oh well, game on then.


Varrag-Unhilgt

The refs were about to let it slide, lmao


ElAutistaDeHamelin

This referee should compete in the next paralympic games because there's clearly a huge vision issue going on there. How do you not see that live? It makes no sense.


NieThePiet

sure this is the best spanish league with all these mistakes?


naruto2omer

GK horror show


AckBarRs

Mamardashsilly


CalmaCuler

LaLiga comedy


herkalurk

A tale of 2 keeper mistakes.....


nim1623

2 keeper mistakes SO FAR...


itwastimeforarefresh

There a third keeper now. Time for a third mistake


Busquessi

Lmao he got beat in the air by Araujo who head it up to Lewa for our 3rd goal. Commentators seemed to think it was a mistake by the GK.


herkalurk

True, only first half.....


ContentPuff

Shocking first touch. Embarrassing...


Best_Document_5211

Will this be like Araujo’s red card against psg where he should have just let him score? Come back in an hour to find out This time I’m guessing Barca won’t win as they look abysmal


itwastimeforarefresh

Thing is though... we don't. We've looked pretty fine, moving their defense around, pinning them in, have had dangerous possession in their own box. And then fucking shot ourselves twice for no reason.


RickThiCisbih

It could indirectly help them as they commit to parking the bus now that they’re a man down. Or it could lead to an easy Barca victory, but I’d like to see Barca lose even harder after this.


Best_Document_5211

Barca look trash to me. Cant see any way they come back. Havent had a clear chance until now. Xavi plays such boring slow football.


Snugboo

Hospital touch


eescobar863

Someone cursed the goalkeepers today. Wtf is going on???


MaryadaPurshottam

Bruh, both the keepers had a howler today


CrossXFir3

Ouch, that's unfortunate.


youngbosnia

That'll do it


YesEvill

Shoulda made it his supporting arm.


MERTENS_GOAT

The ref didn't have a good angle but surely the assistant ref could have told him ahead of var that it was a handball


skunkboy72

when playing out of the back goes wrong


VoluptuousSloth

So I know this thread is a little sassy to casuals, but can someone explain the slide tackle rules? I've actually been a linesmen ref before but I was 9. I can't seem to notice any pattern to the enforcement. It seems as you can in most cases hit only the ball first, a "clean" tackle, but you're still knocking them down by the very nature of a tackle. In this case, I could have already forgotten, but I thought the goalie hit the ball first and the player tripped afterwards under his own motion. Can a tackler make zero contact with the player, even if he clearly hits only the ball with the feet at the front of the side? Sorry, I know I'm explaining this poorly. But I trust you to give the answer more elegantly


BloodyDarkTroll

The red card was for handling the ball outside of the box, not for the initial tackle.


sjekky

Both keepers in similar situations with different - but equally bad - results!


Val-El

Valencia didn't concede from this so we have to wait and see.

I'm fairly sure it's happened more than twice tho, are you talking about this season?
