Afternoon boys
The satellite just went out so I guess I'll watch Bayern vs Chelsea on CBS Access

Let me know if you can't connect.
I'll log off
Hiya, all around. I guess we'll be watching Barca vs Napoli which is still a tie in doubt, rather than Munich hosting the survivors of the FA cup who are down 3 and away?
Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Roberto, Rakitic, De Jong, Messi Suarez, Griezmann
Napoli XI: Ospina, Di Lorenzo, Koulibaly, Manolas, Rui, Demme, Callejon, Ruiz, Zielinski, Insigne, Mertens
Can't watch on Access because they have reached the maximum number of users . Waiting for the satellite to return
"survivors of the FA Cup"?
THEY DIDN'T SURVIVE THE FA CUP....they well and truly got thumped
Steve, did you think Arsenal had a chance when the final four were City, United, Chelsea and Arsenal
I'll log out David
Now I'm able to watch on Access
I just closed my window
I have the Chelsea match on Gala
Thanks, Dave
I just logged of and then tried again and it worked!
Bob, if you join let me know and I will log out
I've got the Napoli vs Barca match on my telly. In English so that's what I'm watching.
Hi there, boys - just taking a break from the garden work for a moment to say hi. I'll log out so that all of you can enjoy the CBS All Access streaming.
How do you have that match on the telly?
I'm watching the Chelsea. Stuart Robson thinks Chelsea is in the this tie because of Bayern's high line . Who is he kidding?
I've logged out of the CBS app.
How do you have that match on the telly?
Bayern have been off the last five weeks, so that may be an advantage to Chelsea. Bayern have five players unavailable. They're up against it.
Robson's their go-to for Arsenal games so welcome to my habitual pain. Listening to him, you'd guess that George Graham took a dump in his fish aquarium and then burned down Robson's house.
They're off from the Allianz Arena
LOL. Nice description
The winner of these two matches meet each other int eh quarters....I am hoping for Bayern to knock off Barca and City
Of course, Napoli can do their job tonight
It's Comcast Channel 854. I think it's new because it wasn't there for the EL match this past week.
The satellite just returned . I have Barca vs Napoli on the telly. Does anyone need me to log out?
What's the name of the channel?
OH! Shot from Dries Mertens went off the side netting nearly giving Napoli the lead off a deflected pass
Napoli could have and should have taken the lead!
They must score
I do love that goal that Napoli are attacking....I wonder why?
Interesting - I just noticed that, as I was logging out, I tried the other stream and it worked. So the maximum of three viewers seems to be stream specific rather than the site in general. That is, for future reference, some of us could be watching one match and others another without getting blocked.
The ball in both matches looks very dark from a distance
It's CBS Sports Network
It's CBSSD pm tje channel lineup.
Nice
Something happened in 1999 - can't quite remember.
I have the Barca match on the app
Our favorite pit bull Gattuso , in charge of Napoli. Never liked him
City scored two goals by Paul Dickov to tie up Gillingham to win on penalties!
Penalty to Bayern
Offside called...VAR calls it back and it is a pen
Caba in the book
I'm not watching the stream Bob which could account for the availability of it. I think I get CBS Sport Network now. When I tried to dial it up for the ManYoo game, the message said "Availability Coming Soon." Truth in advertising.
Lew through for Bayern and tripped by Willy Cabs for a pen, but called off side. VAR checking
It's a penalty and a Cab ride leads to a booking for not paying cab fare nor a tip
Penalty to Bayern!
#9 to take...one nil...four nil
Of course... Chelsea still only need four to win!
GOAL !!!LEW GIVES BAYERN THE LEAD WITH A WELL PLACED PENALTY IN THE UPPER 90. NOW FOUR UP ON AGG
Expertly dispatched by Lewandowksi.
Bayern 1-0 up on the night and 4-0 up on agg.
fORMER gUNNER WITH A LONG RANGE EFFORT THAT RIDES STRAIGHT TO wILLY cBAS
listened to the Test Match this morning. Got these matches and the PGA Championship to watch
Barca take the lead
GOAL !!!! BARCA HEADS IN A CORNER TO TAKE THE LEAD AND GO 2-1 UP ON AGG
Lenglet with a towering header puts Barca in front.
Nice header by Chris Langley off the corner from Rakitic. Nice corner
Decent corner
Decent header
What a novelty.... put the ball in the danger area for a big man to get his head on it
VAR checking for a push.... goal give
That goal doesn't really change things. Napoli still needs a goal as they did prior to kickoff
OH! Nice run by Alphonso Davies then lays it off and a long range effort Mullered just over
Is Stu Robbo singing any more?
It is weird how some goals don't really change things
I remember United's run to the treble. Scored a last minute equalizer at home vs Juve to draw 1-1
We conceded inside six minutes and again a few minutes later... the second goal mattered nowt. United needed to score two after they conceded the first. They needed to score two after they concede the second....they did before half time.... and a third!!
Still can't think why that goal to the left looks familiar on my computer
It helps if it's not Sideshow David, and Mustafi trying to get on the end of the cross, Dave.
Napoli needs to stay on side!!
Not sure . Anything special about that goal? It sounds like 1999
Agreed Steve but at least the ball beat the first man or not a short one
I may not be a bad bet on some of those crosses!
That Davies kid makes a strong claim to be the best North American player currently.
One of my favorite goals of the run to the treble was scored at the other end of the Nou Camp
Do you know which one I'm talking about?
Well, with Ceballos or Pepe rather than Ozil or Xhaka taking our corners, that little problem is largely fixed.
It's between Alphonso Davies and Pulisic . I would give the nod to Davies.
First headed goal in CL for Barca since the Fall of 2017
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=graOTdFBv6k
This one
Looking at Barca's goal again, there wasn't a Napoli defender within the same postcode of the scorer.
Pulisic has impressed me more than I thought he would
Very positive and direct
When a tall defender is that wide open how can he miss?
Free kick to Napoli. Decent free kick headed on then a wild volley lands in Row T level with the corner flag
GOAL !!!MESSI PUTS BARCA TWO UP
GOAL !!!PERISIC PUTS BAYERN TWO UP
Agreed. Pulisic is very good and the hopes of the US team are riding on him. But Davies is also very, very good.
It's a shame that a Liberian refugee like him couldn't get a visa to come to the US, but the family was welcomed by Canada.
Poor throw from Reese James. Kovacic too easily tackled and too easy for Lew to find Perisic to pick his spot. Bayern five up on agg
Messi does Messi and Barca are two up. Now does the lead count?
Take the garbage out and I miss a goal from each match!!
That's your brand Dave. Call of nature, garbage, all manner of distrations.
GOAL !!! NICE FINISH FROM HUDSON-ODOI FROM 25 YARDS OUT GOING PAST THIAGO OFF A PASS FROM TAMMY ABRAHAM
Every time a Croat scores I cringe !!I
I go back to see the goal....and miss a Chelsea goal
No it is not a goal!
What happened!
I looked up to see it 2-1
Why was it called off?
A push?
Remarkable that Reese James has won a place in the first team. He's far too green to be a first team premiership player, IMHO. One for the future no doubt, but now? No way.
Frank had no idea why
Chelsea are being taken to the cleaners here!
Offside. Still 2-nil Bayern.
Why was it called off? Offside? A push? I have no idea!!
GOAL !!! MESSI PUTS BARCA THREE UP. THIS TIE IS OVER
Barca three up
Right, boys - I'm back outside to finish up some mulching.
And Barca now 3-nil up. Messi again.
I will be turning this over to the golf soon...both these ties are toast
Nice save then Rakitic passed to Messi, who trapped it with his chest and fooled the defender to finish past the keeper. Not sure what VAR is checking
Messi scores.... of course... they are going gaga about it! He controlled and scored!
Most players could do that
VAR checking for hand ball. Didn't appear to be hand ball.
Ok... they just showed Tammy A being offside....still hate that crap!
How about the lack of effort on trying to tackle Messi for the two goals?
Messi's goal ruled out? Handball, a push?
It's disallowed for hand ball. Barca still two up and 3-1 on agg.
No... VAR takes back Messi's goal!
CL VAR had been quite good....much better than PL... but apparently they've been watching the English!!
That's a key decision. If Napoli can score soon then we have a tie on our hands
Messi would be difficult to tackle. He keeps the ball so close and will tip over at the slightest touch.
Isn't mulching a Spring job!!!!
Let me know if you need me to log off Bob
Do you agree with me about the goal I posted?
Barca counter off a Napoli free kick
Every time Messi touches the ball....it is the greatest touch of all time!
I agree that the CL VAR is better than the PL VAR
Also , every time Messi touches the ball it's when not if he's about to take a fall.
Well not the last two days it hasn't been!
Both pens from the Juve match were a joke!
I don't agree with tonight either
Messi and a Napoli player down. It's not a head injury so the ref should have continued to play on, but since it's Messi he stopped play
Not his fault that the commentators lose all proportion when Messi plays. But neutral fans know that he's a pale shade of Maradona and in an era where he and Skippy are always compared, it's Skippy by a mile. He's done it for club and country. And he's got the comical sculpture to prove it.
Did you see the MLS is to restart regular season in home markets on Wednesday?
I always thought this tourney WAS the season
That's true . Neither penalty was, which means the Juve match should have gone to ET and who knows what would have happened
I agree 100% Steve. Spot on
VAR with a lengthy check for a penalty. May have been
Messi down hurt and they are saying it might be a pen!
I don't think it should.... he didn't trip... he swung his leg to kick the ball!!
How can he stop the swing of his leg?
THEY ARE RUINING THIS SPORT!!
They love to say....there was contact!! Who cares! IT IS A CONTACT SPORT!
Chelsea gets a goal back..... Tammy A taps in after an atrocious save by Neur
Steve and I agree!
Ref going to have a look.... I HATE THIS CRAP!!
GOAL !!TAMMY ABRAHAM SCORES FOR CHELSEA. HUDSON-ODOI PASSED TO EMMERSON AND POOR FROM NEUER PALMING A PASS FROM EMMERSON LEAVING TAMMY ABRAHAM AN EASY TAP IN
I did see that. I got an email from the club expecting me in the stands on the 24th versus the Revs. I really would rather not.
He did not trip him... Messi put himself there!!
Me too. If it takes this long then it's not a pen because it's inconclusive
Penalty given
This is ridiculous !!
Messi should have to go off and not take the pen
No it's a penalty because it's Messi. I agree with Dave and Steve that Messi tripped himself
Oh eff-off. Too clever, too sharp, too mischievous? What a load.
Why doesn't he have to go off? A physio came on for him
Agreed with both comments, Dave. Really terrible officiating
DRIVES ME NUTS STEVE!
Suarez to take... Messi is still on tho!!
Should be called back....illegal man on the field!
Isn't it a rule??
GOAL !!!!LUIS SUAREZ PUTS BARCA THREE UP FROM THE SPOT. A ROCKET , SENDING THE KEEPER THE WRONG WAY
Good penalty from Bitey Suarez. Napoli with a Robson sized task to get back into this one.
Bayern lead 2-1 at the half.
Into five minutes of stoppage time
Both of these are done.
I am off to watch the golf
Talk to you guys on Monday boys
TTFN
Cheers, Dave. Great chatting. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and look forward to chatting on Monday
I agree with Dave that I thought the tournament was the season. What exactly is the point of the MLS tournament?
I've noticed this Turkish ref before and thought he was poor at keeping order. And way too likely to give a penalty.
PENALTY NAPOLI. MISSED HOW IT WAS WON
In retrospect there was no point in holding the Coronavirus Cup at Disneyland.
I've never been a fan of this Turkish ref
Penalty? What did I tell you about this Turkish muppet?
GOAL !!!INSIGNE SENDS TER STEEGEN THE WRONG WAY FROM THE SPOT. BACK TO 3-1
Barca lead 3-1 at the half and 4-2 on agg.
The second half is underway from the Allianz Arena
A Chelsea shot is Mounted straight to Newer off a nice through ball. It was a difficult angle
The second half is underway from the New Camp
Is it? Tiki-taka-tiki-taka-tiki-taka
Close range Bayern effort Mullered over off a great cross
LOL. I know it's one of those three if not all
It's really tiki-taka in both matches
Volley from Lew deflected off of Zouma that was zoomed for a corner off a headed pass from Josh Kimmich
I am back for a bit
Ross Barkley fouled in the D by Thiago off a long solo run
David...did you look at the goal I was talking about early at the NC
Welcome back, Dave. Hopefully, your presence can bring life to these matches
Into the wall by Ross Barkley
Not yet . I will take a look.
Of course it won't....it is the modern day game
Steve, would you like Coutinho a the Em?
This match still should be a game! Never a pen on Messi
The goal I am talking about is how the game should be played... PARTNERSHIPS UP TOP!!!
Get up Suarez...you were hardly touched
What kind of commentating is that.... GREIZMAN....
Nicely worked team goal. A shame United don't score these types of goals anymore
Bayern extend their lead
GOAL ! TOULISSO GIVES BAYERN A 3-1 LEAD AND 6-1 ON AGG
Horrible defending. Ball played wide left to Lew and his cross was volleyed in aby a wide open Toulisso in the six yard box.
Great dummy knowing your PARTNER is there...get the ball back and give it back... brilliant
That was a nice team goal United scored at the Nou Camp. Miss that type of play from United
That was like telepathy. Great understanding, fun to watch and very well worked.
Willy Cabs did well to drive away a swerving long range effort from Nicky Sulle
GOAL !!! THEN LEW GIVES BAYERN A 4-1 LEAD AND 7-1 ON AGG
Nice header off a great cross
Coutinho would be fun to see in an Arsenal shirt. But I'm not sure that the Willian and now Coutinho pursuit is as important as bringing in as least one if not two world class centre backs.
Chelsea getting thumped... a lovely thing
What was the agg score between Bayern and Spurs in the group stages?
Didn't they score 7 at WHL
Come on Napoli....score two goals late!!
Ball in the net.... buuger... offside!!
GOAL !!!!!NAPOLI PULL IT BACK TO 3-2 WITH A HEADED GOAL. NO IT'S DISALLOWED FOR OFFSIDE
Oh that's disappointing that it was off-side. What a thumping header and goal that would have been.
I really should be able to answer that Spurs question because of the great delight I took in seeing them so throughly torn apart. Lovely memory. Thanks.
I know Bayern thrashed the Spuds on their patch in the group stages. I think that was the end of the Mo Po era
A shame because it would have made for a cracking finish to the match
Griezman was a passenger in this one. A few layoffs, maybe a shot? Not enough for a big match.
A pair of stoppage time minutes at the Allianz Arena despite the lengthy injury to Boatang and all the substitutions
Agreed. I could see Bayern defeating Barca in the quarters
It's over at the Allianz as Bayern win 4-1 in the match and 7-1 on agg
It was 2-7 and 1-3
Shame Chelsea didn't match the 10-3 hammering
7-1 will do tho
Now I remember the 2-7. Agreed about the Chelsea hammering. That will do for sure
Back in my youth... I was rooting for Liverpool to win the European Cup in 77 and 78, Forest in 79 and 80, Liverpool in 81, Villa in 82 and so on. I was even rooting for Arsenal in their Final
NOW.... I can't stand the thought of City winning or Chelsea winning
Next season's Champions League started today
Get your cross over or shot off...NO URGENCY
They do know they need TWO goals
A quintet of stoppage time minutes in the New Camp
Napoli still just passing it around!!!!
It just stuns me!!
I saw that . Great pub question about the CL being played in two different seasons on the same day
STILL PASSING IT AROUND OUTSIDE THE BOX!!
Also Rangers played a match from the 2019-20 season four days after playing one from the 2020-21 season
A stoppage time sub to ruin Dave's day
Napoli have been really disappointing. They've protected a loss in this half. Intimidated by Barca? If so, it's unprofessional.
Modern Day subbing..something has to be done about the clock! This crap will stop!
Was there a drinks break in these matches?
