Spurs (H) Post Match Thread

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

I think every match day going fan will all conclude that this will undoubtedly kill a part of the game.... had to be reminded by the guy next to me not to celebrate too soon and he was on the money, Oliver was waiting to dish that out!

I can't take this anymore, seriously. VAR IS NOT there for actively search for reasons to disallow a goal. It's there for obvious errors. VAR has completely ruined this beautiful game and I hope people start to boycott this game, until everything works as it should. I will never ever celebrate a goal again until I am 100% sure the goal is approved, which, with this fucking system takes about 2-3 minutes. I completely hate VAR and I wish it never entered this league.
And I used to be a fan of the idea of using VAR in the Premier League. But we have two goals on two games that should never have been disallowed. During CL-quarter finals against Spurs, Llorente CLEARLY used his elbow to steer to ball past Ederson, but it was allowed. Laporte didn't even have the intention of touching the ball and it was disallowed. I fukcing hate this.

Poor result. Absolute must win.. 20 more shots, 2:2...wtfff guys

Absolute must win? In the 2nd game? VAR and comments like this.... and people say the games not gone?

 

[kaz7]

And every other VAR call for/against other teams is fine but against us and its a conspiracy. I think the Rodri one was a clear pen but you don't think that'll happen to anyone else this season?

I bet you the dippers would have got it,var is supposed to give them

 

[Chippy_boy]

I really can’t handle this shite, football is all about the emotion of late winners, coming back from behind to snatch wins, crowds make football, emotion makes football, celebrations make football. This is not football, I can quickly fall out of love with this shite, when we scored I celebrated I even allowed for var and it still fucked me over, death of our game.

True enough.

Putting aside the overt cheating, it's just ruining the enjoyment of the game. Completely ruining it.

Not in doubt for 1 millisecond.

i said befre ...most people think (including me) that it was a penalty but they are not going to over rule it unless its something the ref hasnt seen -he clearly saw it and (wrongly for mostof us) deemed it not a foul...VAR agreed with him- its not going to over rule him unlike on the Jesus non goal, where there is no way the ref sees the bal hit laporte on the arm at full speed (which like it or not it did hit him on the arm) and with the new rule change the ref was right to disallow it - now is the rule correct - in my opinion no

I am not sure if the ref have saw it, his reaction seem to suggest as if he meant that no contact has been made by VAR official so no penalty.

End of the day we took the piss out of a major rival but didn’t kill them off. What worry’s me though is that once again we are not converting these chances. Think we will win the league but we need to be more clinical . De bruyne was outstanding by the way

Spot on, it feels like VAR did us in today but the reality is we shot ourselves in the foot. Too wasteful in front of goal, could’ve been 10!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

If I were Pep, I'd be in my car first thing on Monday morning and driving down to PiGMOL HQ, hammering their f*cking door down and demanding an explanation.

 

[argyle]

I bet you Liverpool would have had that goal allowed.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Can any of the VAR supporters answer me this question? What is the purpose of VAR?

There are thousands of “decisions” that make up a football game. Some are called correctly, some called wrong. I fully support a system that rights obvious wrongs but when you see that penalty decision and our disallowed goal you can only conclude that it is fundamentally flawed.

 

[BigJoe#1]

You don't understand mate. It was "job done" for the VAR cheats today.

It's working PERFECTLY.

Let's wait and see what happens when Pogba gets tugged in the box on Monday night and the ref doesn't give it. Will VAR be used to overturn the decision? You bet your bottom dollar it will!

 

[foxbox123]

Well why didn’t they look at the penalty , if they did why wasn’t it given

It is clear it is being used diffentley,

See you joined in 2016, just on here to wind a few up after watching that shit officiating ,

Jog on

No just able to watch footie without thinking there's some grand conspiracy against us

 

[hilts]

Correct decision,bollocks law.

If they don't want to ruin this amazing game then changed need to be made.

I actually think it’s the correct decision and correct law I’m more annoyed by the penalty, I have no idea how var is supposed to be used in regards of the referee.

 

[Ban-jani]

It’s cheating.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Wait until we score a goal after a long period of possession. They’l be going back 3 or 4 minutes to find a moment of contact between two players that they can claim was a foul.

Tell me with any degree of confidence that that won’t happen.

They did that for One of our goals at Schalke last season, they kept replaying a headed challenge in the build up for ages.

Almost as if they were trying to find any excuse to disallow the goal.

 

[valleyblue]

Correct decision,bollocks law.

If they don't want to ruin this amazing game then changed need to be made.

Very true, it was the correct decision, however the lack of action on the Rodri penalty incident puzzles me.
And as you say the law is bollocks, VAR if not amended will kill our game.

 

[urban genie]

Just seen the still of laporte being pulled by a spurs player just before the ball hit his arm, shirley influenced his stance?

New hand ball rule is stupid.

what you said before was wrong and it is now too. Oliver pointed to his ear and said I got nothing from the var. So var and that was pretty fucking obvious in las year or more it is in use, can and does suggest refs that there might be some problematic situation. They just didn't give a fuck.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

Im sorry but if there was anything such as a neutral even they could see that was one of the most ridculous fuckin descions of the modern game. Is this where we're heading? Because if it is I'll watch City come out the tunnel, cheer them, then fuck off home...maybe not but the point is im fuckin fuming. Even the boy (he's 9) cant believe what he just witnessed.
