Absolutely spot on regarding Tierney mate, just a standard game from him when he’s refereeing us. Total lack of consistency shown towards both teams.Regarding Friday night, I was in the ground and appreciate there can be an element of group norming, but I honestly thought Tierney was pretty fucking shite and gave spurs everything. We had most of the possession, they got most of the free kicks. As usual
So we had 60% possession but committed 2/3 of the fouls? We are dirty cunts when in possession aren’t we?Absolutely spot on regarding Tierney mate, just a standard game from him when he’s refereeing us. Total lack of consistency shown towards both teams.
The only positive was that Rodri somehow kept his composure and didn’t walk into a booking.
Rodri played within himself a bit and wasn't his full-blooded self which is probably why he didn't get a booking.Absolutely spot on regarding Tierney mate, just a standard game from him when he’s refereeing us. Total lack of consistency shown towards both teams.

Haha, we are intense to win the ball back quickly and so give away more fouls than the average team (I do think we could be more cunning in some situations as we get a few unnecessary yellows but it’s clear that’s what pep wants and the players follow his instructions).So we had 60% possession but committed 2/3 of the fouls?

Oh I think he is very consistent towards us. Consistently badRodri played within himself a bit and wasn't his full-blooded self which is probably why he didn't get a booking.
Agreed on Tierney. He is probably one of the least consistent referees where we are concerned.
I liked that about Rodri on Friday, there were a couple of decisions against him where he put his hands in his head with an ‘I don’t believe it look’ towards the ref and was there one reaction where I thought he was losing it and about to chop a spurs player quickly after another poor decision (or non decision) but it didn’t quite happen.Rodri played within himself a bit and wasn't his full-blooded self which is probably why he didn't get a booking.

That’s true, I do think however that the occasions where an advantage occurs in these circumstances would, I think be quite rare, and probably quite obvious. If the referee’s first consideration was to consider whether an advantage had been gained, with notes for guidance, then I think we would have more appropriate decisions. The sort of situation where I would see there would be an advantage would be where a player previously in a central offside position retreats to receive the ball centrally and the only opponent playing him onside is out by the touchline with no chance of challenging. Referee’s have to make this sort of decision with respect to DOGSO at present.On that point, it’s whether the player in an offside position would have been able to receive the ball had he not been offside to start with, otherwise he’s gained an advantage.
