Bjorn Kuipers - Man City v PSG

A shocker from the ever reliable Bjorn Kuipers to give PSG a
penalty. What has he seen? He is so far off with that decision.
VAR didn’t even have to look at that twice to overrule

He got caught in a bad position - suddenly playing right back
for Man City - and got sold on the reactions from the PSG
players. He has not taken any sh*t off of them since though.

Not a great display from Kuipers. Guessing a lot of decisions
and getting them wrong...

Red card correct decision but this has been a very poor display
from Kuipers

I disagree with the above. The couple of early mistakes aside I
think Kuipers has regrouped and been excellent, dealt with
handbags very well, got the RC spot on and what was proving to
be a difficult match to referee when PSG lost their discipline
he handled very well and was calm and collected

Aside from he might need an anatomy lesson as to where the arm
is, that was an outstanding refereeing performance. He didn't
fall for any attempts by players to con fouls, and managed the
situation with the sending off perfectly.

That would have been a very challenging game for a lesser
referee but Kuipers experience and ability proved invaluable in
game and player management.
My initial reaction to one of the fouls which drew YC when PSG
lost their discipline was that it was of the orange variety for
possible SFP but I suspect Kuipers was sensible to opt for the
lesser sanction.
Well done City. It's up to the other half of Manchester to
progress to the Europa Final, hopefully without any protests by
the fans.

Totally agree. He was experienced enough to ignore the attempts
of numerous players to con him into giving fouls for absolutely
nothing and he made it plain that he was not going to be conned.
I agree about PSG losing their discipline and testing his
patience to the limit, however, he used common sense and was on
top of everything.
In spite of lots of things going on he seemed to have a decent
rapport with the players.

I didn't think Kuipers had a good game at all tonight. The
overturned penalty was an extremely poor effort, as others have
suggested he seemed to guess. Then he got the Foden handball
wrong too. There were several dubious calls/non calls for fouls
too. You can't have a referee guessing in a CL semi final.
Once PSG lost their discipline their behaviour was petulant in
the extreme, as was their rolling around simulating injury all
evening. I don't think Kuipers got to grips with the PSG
histrionics at all, he seemed to indulge them to avoid further
confrontation, although a few yellow cards were waved around.
Verratti, in particular, was very fortunate to stay on the
pitch. I remarked when the 2 minutes were held up that he
couldn't get off the pitch quick enough. Not a good night at
the office.
