Spurs v Liverpool

Re: Spurs v Liverpool

His knee just touched his foot and made him trip over. Unintentionally but still tripped him

If its unintentional then its not a professional foul, and so not a yellow. Stupid lunging in seconds later though.

It couldn't have happened to a more deserving set of supporters.

Re: Spurs v Liverpool

We had the Curtis Jones incident down here in 2018 with Ndong of Sunderland. The rules about tackling had just been changed I think. Ndong got the ball but his foot rolled over the top of it in the tackle and into Junior Hoilett, who went down in agony. The ref pulled a red card out straight away, Ndong couldn't believe it and went off shaking his head. Sunderland appealed but the decision stood and Ndong was banned for three games.

Tough on Ndong, tough on Jones too, but if the refs (or VAR) start making subjective decisions about intent in situations like that then it will quickly become a yellow card offence for United players at Old Trafford but a red card for away teams, as a random example.

Re: Spurs v Liverpool

If the players foot rolls over the top of the ball you've got to be committing a dangerous attempt to win the ball to begin with. It's like one of those challenges where the player steps over the ball to get between the opponent and the ball. The player is asking for trouble.

I hope the appeal fails and he gets an extra game ban for the appeal.

Re: Spurs v Liverpool

Seems like VAR used to say "check complete" - now they have to say "check complete - goal (or no goal as appropriate".

Good lord...did no one think that was the option before introduction?

I'm surprised they're appealing it but having complained about all aspects of the officiating they're going to look a bit stupid if they turn round now and say 'actually, you were right about that one'. Maybe they're hoping Gary Neville will be on the panel.

Re: Spurs v Liverpool

This is getting ridiculous coverage.

This is the problem that var brings, people now have an unrealistic expectation that all decisions will be right when in reality it just gives an extra couple of officials a bit more time to still make human error.

Liverpool get ****ed how many dodgy decisions have they had over the decades.

Plastic scouser almost crying in work yesterday, saying spurs celebrating a win against 9 men was embarrassing. I doubt those that actually went to the match and saw a 96 minute winner give a shit.

The media make a big deal of referee abuse at times and rightly so but then when it's one of the big clubs that are on the wrong end of things the coverage is so over the top that of course it results in abuse and dislike of referees.

Offside should be a goal of course.

Jones is a red all day, wasn't intentional but it is what it is.

Jota is unlucky with the first yellow, if there's var for yellows he probably (maybe) doesn't get it. Second it's hard to tell if he actually catches the guy at all but he slides in and is nowhere near the ball. 90 seconds after the first also, just all on him that one.
