      Not used to it? We have lost three games against them in the past 12 months, conceding six. What do you still have to get used to? Nobody said they were delighted to get Napoli again when the draw was made. They're a serious bogey side now.

      I hope the fans that were ambushed will be ok. When they are, I hope the club look after them in the mad scramble for tickets to Istanbul if we get there.

      Hang on, like the your obsession with VAR being perfect, you only look at it from your own biased point of view.

      You can mention the 3 games we lost to them but if you are going to use that for an argument then you should include the friendly where we stuffed 5 past them in the build up to last season and whilst they beat us at their place in the group stage, we ultimately won the most important game over the two and led to us going on to win the Champions League and them to get knocked down to the Europa League before then getting eliminated from that too.

      Nothing is won or lost in the first game of the group stage and the fact you are more bothered about a friendly defeat and them beating us at their place, which ultimately hasn’t proven costly at all so far, suggests to me you have your priorities all wrong.

      Who the F**k cares about a preseason game? but i will say they are a good, tough team. We haven't played well (last year) or been lucky (this year) at their ground, while they also played us tough at Anfield and not for a last-minute save from Alisson we don't even get out of the group stage.

      You could certainly say its a bogey ground for us now, hope to f**k there is never a final played there.

      While the PK call is soft, they also got 2 very good chances to score themselves, one which required a world-class save from Adrian, so they also had their big missed chances the way we did. They play us tough in Napoli and agree i have no desire to have to go back there again. A team i want no part of in any of the knockout rounds.

      We lost our toughest fixture in the group and we only lost because of a bullshit penalty decision, if it wasn't for that then we would have won or drawn that match . If you honestly think that Salzburg or Genk will get more points than us then you are in cloud cuckoo land.

      Didn't say anything of the kind.

      So was the ball brushing Bale without deviating a clear and obvious error then whilst some tosspot player diving wasn't? btw if it was the other way around then I'd still be questioning the system.

      I think all Penalties need to be looked at by the ref if there is any doubt at all and clearly in this case there was.

      I did say the balance was not quite right.

      VAR will never be perfect. It will increase the accuracy of decisions, we hope. We also hope it will help eliminate perceived prejudicial decisions against us.Read a few posts on here claiming that VAR will save us up to 12 points a season.Points robbed of us by biased decisions.But in truth all teams get poor decisions going against them.

      We can't on the one hand claim we haven't got a victims mentality, and on the other hand claim bias every time a ref makes a bad decision against us.Deciding when VAR should intervene won't be easy. Few have claimed every penalty decision should go to VAR but in reality they already do - it's just that, as we know, it will only overturn a decision when it's a clear and obvious error.

      It is that point of what constitutes a clear and obvious error where it is difficult to get the balance right.We will have to give it a lot longer before taking any entrenched positions.

      we all agree it was a dive by the Napoli lad, calling it one way or another is subjective and therefore open to interpretation. I don't necessarily fully agree with the handball rule but it does at least mean, in theory, there will be consistency with handball decisions.

      The trouble with the system at the moment for me is what constitutes a "clear and obvious" error from the referee.

      A lot of neutrals said it was a penalty. Souness thought it was a penalty as the forward was "clever". Robbo doesn't win the ball, and there is contact. I don't think it's a clear dive nor a clear penalty. Some replays show it's a stonewall, others don't. So in that case, the original decision stood.

      It doesn't suggest anything, bar the fact that we have won 1 game of the last 4 against them. By any criteria, that's a bogey side. The friendly we won was not in the past 12 months. The poster originally said he isn't used to it, I just asked him why? 

      Last year's group came down to goal difference, and having the last game at home was a massive help, in getting through. We don't have that advantage this year. We have won 1 of the last ten group away games, and 2 of the last twelve. I know we got through it last year, but that won't happen all the time. Our away form in Europe must improve.

      We don't know at this point what impact this result will have on the group until it's done. It may not have any, it may have a lot. Like I said, we thought we had a good result in the bag with 10 minutes left in Naples, except we didn't get it. Now fans are saying we'll beat Napoli at home. Hopefully they'll be right, but given their recent record against us, we know that will be difficult in itself.

      We thought we would breeze through the Real group under Rodgers. We won the first game, but missed the cut by one goal. This is the top club competition in Europe. Yes on paper we should make it, but nothing should be taken for granted at this stage.

      This video shows clearly that Robertson didn't touch him. If you can't see the Napoli player dining, you shouldn't be posting on a football forum.

      Jason McAteer spoke to 10 ex-players at the weekend, apparently 5 told him it was a penalty in their opinion. By that logic, it was not a clear and obvious error by the officials.

      I think the ref should have looked at the monitor, so he could inform himself of all the facts to confirm or change his decision. He doesn't just get "one look" to make a decision anymore, he has the option to watch it as many, or as few times as he wishes.
