Twenty five minutes in tonight and the debatable decisions are mounting up.
Romero, what a liability he is.
It’s all imploding for Tottenham.
Inevitable that the wheels would fall off for Spurs, will be out of Europe by Christmas. All very Spurs like.
Ben Davies not in the squad… is he injured or just that far down the pecking order?
Utter idiocy especially given the temp of the game. Obviously a good player but something like his seventh red of his career… liability is the right word for it.Quote:

Caicedo's goal ruled-out for offside
Romero is sent off
Palmer equalises from the spot
Jackson's goal ruled-out for offside
Van de Ven pulls his hamstring
Maddison taken off with a knock
And we’ve only just finished the first half.
So sick of VAR. This game was so good to watch, then a 5 min plus break for the disallowed goal/2 penalty shouts just killed it. It’s not the red, it’s the stoppage in play. I’m glad we don’t have it in the championship, but don’t agree with some leagues having it and some not, how can that be right? In the cups, some stadiums have it and some don’t. It’s nuts.
It’s a farce, I much preferred when refs made mistakes and everyone moved on. They weren’t as often and as glaring it seems.
You missed Sterling dive but no cardQuote:

Now Udogie off for a 2nd yellow.
Complete madness. You feel for Ange as he doesn’t have another defender on the bench, but another complete rush of blood.
How crap is Jackson?
Keeper’s having a good game.
just got a hattrick hahaQuote:

Anyone on here could’ve scored that hat trick. Spurs kept the high line, he should’ve score 8!Quote:

I don't even think TV was the winner there, maybe the radio phone ins for the next couple days. VAR is turning the game into an absolute farce, they are so scared of getting something wrong and getting slated for it that anything that is even close turns into a review. It's a good thing they don't review yellow cards or they'd still be playing tomorrow morning.
I reckon 99% of this board couldn't outrun a park player from the halfway line let alone a Premier League defender.Quote:

We saw it, it was absolutely atrocious, time to scrap it. No harm in that. It is absolutely appalling, the worst thing football has done to itself in a long, long time.
