The one for Man U was indeed questionable as it's difficult to call that a hand-ball given the player is a meter in the air and half-facing the ball.

The shirt-pulling one against Roma was actually correct because shirt-pulling is a dirty foul and should be called every single time.
He barely puled it and the ball had already passed the Porto forward.

Not really. It's still players and their actions that decide the game. What's lacking is consistency in what is considered a "foul" or a "handball". We will all be long dead before that debate settles.
If you play soccer, you know what I mean! How can you expect the player to jump defending the ball to have that kind of control as you say?! Besides this happened in 91' of the game, so you have to account for the tiredness... I just find it very unfair to call that a penalty, it was a very one-sided call!

It was PSG defender Kimpembe with the penalty handball that knocked PSG out.

Here is the funny thing : Kimpembe could have been sent off in the first leg at Old Trafford , but the ref was quite kind to him with only 1 yellow card. had Kimpembe been send off in the first leg then he would have been suspended for tonight's game and not been on the pitch to be called for the handball. LOOOL.

As a FIFA B Referee I tell you, that was 100% correct call.
-> Player can jump with his hand behind him OR close his arm, he opened his arm here and the ball hit it and Changed direction, had his hand not been there, it would go towards the goal. according to the RULE, its a PK
-> Where in the Rule of the game say you need to account for the tiredness? Rules are rule, min 1, min 120! doesnt matter.

Those are the LAWS OF THE GAME, and it was applied correctly in this case. I am also checking FIFA Ref forums and almost everyone saying it was correct call.

As I said, if you call this you gotta call the other ones too! Not just the ones you like... you read it right but look at how many other calls they miss. Rules are rules and should apply to everyone, not just when you want to apply them!
Also, when I referred to tiredness, I wasn't referring to rules... I was responding to BT's comment which he said he should have closed his hands when defending the ball.

PSG 1-3 Manchester United

Got this text message from Bryan in Salford. his parents named him after Man United legend Bryan Robson.

Unbelievable. Get the fuck in.

One of my best nights since Sir Alex retired.

Rashy , cold as ice.

So proud of the lads and the coaching staff. Ole..Ole..Ole.

Jose Moronho has aged a decade tonight.

Fuck off Di Maria.

Football, bloody hell.

Well referee is a subjective thing, you (a human) has to apply the rules of game, for example, the book has bunch of rules on Denial of Obvious goal scoring , Now I as a referee have to decide if that was a Denial of Obvious goal scoring or not, I might think it is, u might disagree, nothing can be done to fix that. this happens in all sports.
I 100% agree rules should be applied to EVERY TEAM regardless, I only watched the PK scene today, was there a scene that you feel the referee made a mistake ?
