Spurs (H) Post Match Thread

[sam 1980]

I genuinely have no desire to go Bournemouth next week now. I was at West Ham last week where the Sterling offside ruined the celebrations for the next goals even when VAR benefited us. Today I didn’t celebrate until after a few seconds.
I know it sounds daft but there’s more to football than seeing correct decisions. If I just wanted to see correct decisions then I’d stay and watch it at home. VAR just leaves me numb. Pre var if you got a decision it was a joy and if it went against you you’d have a moan and wait for MOTD to see if it was right or not. Everytime there’s a goal I don’t want to just stand soullessly until a man 100s miles away decides the outcome.

100%

Can't wait until there is an identical incident with Liverpool but it isn't disallowed.

That's why Its better holding off the conspiracy stuff till theres clear and obvious bias.

We have to take it on the chin.
It's hear to stay but it's ruining the game.
That aside we missed countless chances to finish them off and the incident at the end could have been irrelevant.

Ok to all the VARites and people saying it’s not corrupt !

Question

If that’s Salah or Rashford getting pulled back in our area ,,,, is it a penalty or not ???!

Abso - fucking - lutely

You can’t blame Var for that I’m afraid

No issue with the disallowed goal. My problem is that they are using it selectively.

No consistency at all, I wonder if the Scousers scored that goal would it have been disallowed.... we all know the answer

The lack of discussion about the actual game in this thread is a perfect illustration of why introducing VAR is completely fucked.

It's a not a knee-jerk comment, I really don't feel like watching the Bournemouth game now. It feels daft to watch it, when you can check the result after, then Wath the highlights.

If that had gone the other way, I'd feel sorry for Spurs fans and sti dame the same thing.... Football has turned to shit! The pure ecstacy of a late winner going in has now been quelled.

if that was against united I would be fucking loving it ,finish our chances and last minute goals wouldn't be necessary, we were brilliant today bar two sloppy bits of defending,WTF was eddie playing at for their first , tomorrows another day ,you'll be up for it next sunday

Ederson should have done better for their 1st, his positioning was way off. The ball was nowhere near the post, regulation save with normal positioning.

What why can’t you !

Course you can

I remember being at a fans forum years ago when Stuart Pearce was our manager, somebody asked him how he felt about technology and video replays coming in to football, he was strongly against it and said it would ruin the game(some would say not as much as his football did but that's another story...).

Anyway he was bang on. I didn't celebrate the first two goals too much just in case, the 3rd goal I went mental. That will teach me. Last minute winners are one of the best feelings you can have as a football fan, that has now gone forever.

Thank fuck 93:20 happened before VAR. Can you imagine, in 20 years time watching back our greatest ever moment, seeing all the celebrations, Joe Hart, Mancini going mad etc, then everything stops for a minute while VAR checks the goal, it would have ruined it forever.
