That is a laughable call for the penalty.
I cannot believe that anyone considers that a penalty, and if they do, how is it in any way, shape, or form a clear and obvious error?
Then, add in, how is it any more obvious than Gakpo’s in the first half?
It’s just so, so shit.

Mate said Liverpool’s defence is like a sieve.
Shit example, there is literally no way you could fit a football through a sieve.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

If that Atletico goal is not offside for blocking the goalkeeper, I do not know what is.
What is the purpose of the rule if not for that exact reason?

Had a whole day of gardening on the weekend. Sat down at about 5pm and thought “this is one of the best days of my life” and fully meant it
i looooove being in my 30s and being deeply deeply boring. yesterday was just working on a puzzle and listening to records and doing a little laundry, and it was perfect

I’m in the Guardian today, arguing that we should stop them all-class mental health lessons in schools
I've thought very carefully about ‘going public’ with this, because it's a sensitive argument to make, especially in the face of so many young people struggling.

Mental-health lessons in schools sound like a great idea. The trouble is, they don’t work | Lucy Foulkes
All-class therapy sessions don’t help, and may even make matters worse. The evidence shows we need different solutions, says Dr Lucy Foulkes, an academic psychologist at Oxford University
