[I'm Blue]

Well he certainly didnt see it with his eyes

Probably got told in his earpiece off his assistant Marddison.

 

[El Gringo]

Got my blood pressure review tomorrow morning...... that 2nd half gave me a redder face than Alan Brazils ball bag. Khusanov is going to be a belter

 

[Sky Blue]

You forgot chas n Dave..

And Hoddle.

 

[M Gaudino]

Looks like he blew after about 20 seconds, which means that he was told from off pitch.

No question in it for me, VAR gave orders and tried to find a way not to give it. Found inconclusive evidence and still didn’t give it.

Just another show that the cartel are running the show.

im not going to be so tinfoil hat since spurs are a fucking joke club and defo nobody trying to prop them up. BUT the linesman flagging for doku clean through was the weirdest. it looked close and we were given no replay

 

[blueyorkie]

Rode our luck at times, so did they to be fair, but that's kind of wiped out for me by that atrocious var decision at the end. Nearly, nearly cost us.

First half we looked like we had a lot more shape and coordination, second we panicked in parts as we have done so much this season, booting it anywhere. Thankfully Bernie helped us calm down, thought it was interesting that pep took off Nico for Bernie and shifted the line forward and it worked for us.

Khusanov is just what we needed. Fast, tough, and surprisingly I'm staring yo see a bit of a footballing brain there where he steamed in like a locomotive, and then played it out when others like Kovacic and Road were hoofing it.

It wasn’t a VAR decision, the ref gave handball!

 

[wattle]

I know we got the 3 points and thats all that matters but the truth is we were shocking against the worst Spurs side Ive seen in years. Match should have been over at half time. The half hearted efforts to win the loose balls, the loose passes, the wrong decision making. Absolutely suicidal at times. We only won that because Spurs were more shit than us. Our levels have dropped so much. Just hope Pep can work his magic again.

We were brilliant 1st half and showed bollox and defended brilliantly 2nd half. What are you on about?????

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yep. But seeing no handball was found then maybe that’s a good reason to say a clear and obvious error was found. Listen mate we won and that will do but there’s no way that gets ruled out down the other end.

The pictures were inconclusive. When that happens, they stick with the on field call.

The problem was the referee, not VAR.

The emotive “it would have been given against us” angle is pointless and just there to inflame the rhetoric.

 

[117 M34]

Surely then the first hand ball should be penalised then?

Accidental handball by a defender isn't a penalty.
Acccidental handball by a striker becomes handball when he puts the ball in the net.

 

[wattle]

No, it’s absolutely the refs fault.

Oh no it isn’t ;)

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Poor finishing from the opposition?

What about ours, could have been out of sight, 2 goal cushion at least first half.

Eddie made more saves than the spurs keeper.

Second half Spurs absolutely dominated us. Just like most teams do. We are very easy to play against this season.

 

[blueyorkie]

This VAR shite is getting worse. It sucks all the joy out of the game.

Not VAR it was the refs decision

 

[Karl8]

He’ll need some boots first.

Fuck off Var.
Fuck off Spurs.
Fuck off Ricky Villa.
Fuck off Garth Crooks.
Fuck off Steve Archibald.
Fuck off Ossies gonna do it again.
Fuck off Ange Ball.
Fuck off Alan Sugar.
Fuck off Adele.
Fuck off J.K. Rowling.
Fuck off you Lilywhites.
Fuck off for 1981.

Couldn’t agree more, especially with your thoughts re 1981 !.

 

[M Gaudino]

And Hoddle.

hoddle was quite fair on comms. he was advocating giving the goal at the end and seemed equally bemused

 

[Norbert D]

The pictures were inconclusive. When that happens, they stick with the on field call.

The emotive “it would have been given against us” angle is pointless and just there to inflame the rhetoric.

Have you been on the pop?

 

[meltonblue]

So if he saw the handball so clearly why did he wait so long before blowing for the free kick.

He doesn’t, it’s less than five seconds before he blows for it.

 

[blue whippet]

Good first half performance, we looked a little more cohesive and quicker than we have of late. With better finishing the game should have been put to bed by half time. Doku and Savinho need to spend a few weeks on shooting practice.
Second half was a different game, again. We rode our luck at times, luckily their finishing was even worse than ours. I thought the changes should have been made about 10-15 mins earlier and Savinho and not Nico should have gone.
I liked a younger faster team though.
It wasn't handball, bloody spurs and handballs.

 

[Sergio<3]

Great first half, sloppy second half, think Haaland is running out of patience with Savinho

 

[M Gaudino]

Hang on, we've already lost to some of those teams. You never know which Villa, Brighton or Bournemouth will turn up.

mate that was dads army 2024 city.

this is the new city! smashing newcastle and spurs

 

[Blue Calx]

Got my blood pressure review tomorrow morning...... that 2nd half gave me a redder face than Alan Brazils ball bag. Khusanov is going to be a belter

I still laugh like fuck when we beat Alan Brazil at Villa Park 81.How I hate that ****.

 

[meltonblue]

Oh no it isn’t ;)

Ha! It’s him disallowing it that’s the issue. VAR wouldn’t have changed the decision either way.
