Had there been any explanation from the match officials as to why VAR didn't look at the foul on Dessers versus Bilbao? I don't think we should be moving on from this until we get one.

move on.

Will be waiting a long time mate, well swept under the carpet, does make you wonder if referees and uefa are crooks.
21 Apr 2025 16:44:41
We won't get an explanation.
UEFA is a closed shop.
21 Apr 2025 16:50:28
What difference will it make tbh we were cheated once and it never helped me knowing. Made it worse tbh.
21 Apr 2025 17:05:06
No point, it's done, keeping it going won't change a thing.
21 Apr 2025 17:09:08
Not sure if any ex-referees have made any comment on the incident?
21 Apr 2025 17:16:31
Absolutely cheated.
21 Apr 2025 17:38:19
We were denied two pens and a red. Shocking.
21 Apr 2025 17:49:04
I'm not sure why we need an explanation? VAR would have reviewed it and agreed with the referee.
I can't remember the exact phrase, but Tav referenced what the ref said during his post match interview - think it was something like 'there wasn't enough in it'.
The EPL is pretty good as the match centre share the VAR findings and in the Man City game at the weekend there was a shirt pull in the box and the VAR review confirmed 'wasn't prolonged holding' and 'offence wasn't sufficient to cause reaction'.
That's pretty much what my reaction to the Dessers incident was too.

Look at how the cup final decision changed nothing I'm afraid uefa don't care for a small league like us and it wouldn't make any diffrence.

The reason I put Albertz in was because of his goals against that lot John but even tho I loved Lovenkrands against them u can't have him in instead of Laudrup, he was God in my eyes and the best player at the right time ever to wear the blue jersey, respect the reason tho he was a thorn in their side when we were usually underdogs at that time.

Like everyone else I was disgusted we didn't get a penalty. But it's not going to change. Move on. Looking forward to next season.

Easy to see that UEFA Is corrupt.
21 Apr 2025 19:40:22
EHL you have forgotten the process though here:
1. Referee makes decision
2. VAR looks at it.
3. UEFA then need to come out and make a proclamation on why it was right.
4. Rangers fans have to look at proclamation and if they down agree UEFA are still deemed to be cheats.
UEFA might be corrupt but the final will be sold out no matter who gets there so there is no financial benefit to them which is where they would be corrupt. I can see the UEFA meeting where cheating Rangers was on the agenda.
sorry but just because you don't agree with the decision doesn't mean we were cheated.

Correct ehl var would have checked and spoken to ref to see what he seen and deemed it not clear and obvious don't know how it's not hard to understand.
Whether it's the right or wrong decision that's different.
Dessers never had the ball wasn't getting the ball hence why if it was given it would have been a yellow as some can't understand that either.
21 Apr 2025 20:46:42
If we were Man Utd an explanation would have been given.
21 Apr 2025 21:53:35
And if we were Bilbao that is a penalty McMinn.
22 Apr 2025 10:47:10
Correct, and a red card if you adhere to the rules. I cannot believe that the referee's performance is not getting more attention in the media. Scandalous performance.
