Yes, I'm really struggling with it myself. Might not even sleep tonight.

Season is full of dodgy decisions and errors. We've been victims of some dodgy shiiit in the past so I certainly won't be complaining bout our lucky streak...... And wanna continue this unbeaten run.

ok

Lol, Vucinic is actually a choice for MOTM? Might as well put Bendtner on.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

We were poor in spells in the first half, but had some good play too. Andujar make some good stops to deny Vucinic, Pogba and Giovinco.

One thing that annoys me is how slow we are to counter at times. A chance could be on but we slowly dribble up the park or pass side to side which is frustrating.

Nontheless, Catania has been a difficult place for us in recent seasons and 3pts after an away champions league match without arguably our most in form player is decent enough for me.

On a side note the refereeing from everyone was terrible. In the build up to their "goal" the ball had gone out of play, we should have had a penalty on Chiellini and almost every offside decision was wrong.

+1

And it was nowhere near our worst performance of the season.

Is it me, or are those MOTM lists getting shorter with each passing week?

Here is something about how Catania goal was actually an offside, I only found it in Italian:

CONDIVIDIAMO TUTTI E FACCIAMO GIRARE!
il regolamento sul fuorigioco,modificato solo la scorsa estate che dice che il palo rimette in gioco il pallone come se fosse un giocatore avversario,ed ora veniamo all'azione che in partenza non e' ovviamente in fuori gioco,ma se la palla crossata come vedete nel cerchio rosso batte sul palo e ritorna in gioco verso il giocatore,solo in quel momento subentra il fuorigioco,ma la cosa che nessuno considera e che Rizzoli ha segnalato il fuorigioco del giocatore numero 17 nel cerchio nero non chi e fronte a Buffon,quindi io direi che a mente calda si puo' dire di tutto ma aspetterei sempre di raffreddare gli animi prima di aprir bocca

can u post the link?

I found this on FIFA website re offside rule: -
What does gaining an advantage by being in that position mean?
The International Football Association Board defines it as
- playing a ball that rebounds off a post or the crossbar after having been in an offside position, or
- playing a ball that rebounds off an opponent after having been in an offside position.

Because the ball rebounded off the post the catania player was 'offside'.

Really hard to accept this victory because of crappy officiating..

We suffered from the crappy officiating too! Legro should have been sent off for the foul on Gio, as he had a 'clear goal scoring chance'. And that Spolli should have been sent off too! After having been booked already, he was committing fouls like he wanted to be sent off. Letting him away with smacking two Juve players in the mouth was ridiculous.

3 points is 3 points thats all I care about. Normally we'd drop points in fixtures like these. I couldn't care less. 3 valuable away points. Cushty.

Results and performances are two separate things.

Last year we had many great performances but the results didn't match. Games in which we dominated 90 min's, we drew (Genoa twice, Cagliari, Parma, Udinese etc).

If you can't ask for both, then I would like the results to be amazing and the performqnces to be less (altough we were still far from bad today, it's our CL-run which is much more awful).

We're doing what Milan did last season.

I'm pretty sure this isn't correct because he was onside when the ball was played. I'm pretty sure that rule only counts if he's offside the moment the player shoots the ball, not the moment it touches the bar.

I agree, but that is how the match officials interpreted it.

How do you know they interpreted it that way?

Who's going to ask me if i give a fuck about anything that happened today except that we won 3 points....... Anyone?

people have a short memory as to how much we suffered last season with poor referee decisions, today is to me is just balancing that karma

 

[Linebreak]

Who's going to ask me if i give a $#@! about anything that happened today except that we won 3 points....... Anyone?

Do you give a sheet about anything that happened today?

 

[Klovn]

Was that a dive by Giovinco at the end?

How does this even show anything??

Gomez was uninvolved in the play and wasn't offside in any case.

Did the post play a pass to him or was the post offside? What the hell are they trying to say with some still image and two circles?

 

[Badass J Elkann]

i thought Buffon pushed it onto the post, so that would make it offside right?
