Yeah, that foul against Erling was definitely contrary to his tolerance levels of quite a few "robust" Spurs challenges. The Bentancur caution should really have been a red. Very dangerous, could have caused serious injury.

Didn’t look a foul at the game, just watched it now and it definitely was a foul. Hadn’t realised but Haaland was through 1 on 1 in the third minute if that’s not givenYeah, that foul against Erling was definitely contrary to his tolerance levels of quite a few "robust" Spurs challenges.

Shockingly poor. Most teams would have lost their heads at the challenges we had to deal with and the game would have descended onto a violent free for all with several red cards.
Sums up his incompetence that in the incident that saw Eddie seriously concussed with a potential orbital bone injury from a rash dangerous challenge he gives the thug involved the same sanction as our goalkeeping coach who was understandably irate at the lack of protection for Eddie.
The game as a whole followed the similar pattern of those games a few weeks ago when there seemed to be a tacit agreement to allow opponents to commit dangerous fouls on us unpunished early doors. This one differed in that it was allowed to continue as long as was necessary to injure our lads.
The only surprise was that neither Eddie or Ortega were booked for the fairly mild time wasting they engaged in.

What was telling was that Foden, the recipient of five or six fouls that could have been punished with a yellow, gave a thumbs up to the referee when he got a yellow himself.
The players know when they are reffed fairly.

Just seen the arsenal winning “goal”. How the fuck Oliver can say that wasn’t handball is either breathtaking corruption or breathtaking incompetence. For either of those he should be removed from the Euros and sacked
According to the LOTG if the ball is either kicked or headed by a player and the ball then goes on to their own arm, it is not handball unless the ball then goes directly into the opponents' goal or the player scores immediately afterwards. I can only assume that as he has missed the handball and the ball went from Jesus to another player and then Haavertz scored, VAR can't then intervene despite it being handball. I can't think of another reason.Just seen the arsenal winning “goal”. How the fuck Oliver can say that wasn’t handball is either breathtaking corruption or breathtaking incompetence.

He blatantly controlled it with his arm, that’s handball surely?According to the LOTG if the ball is either kicked or headed by a player and the ball then goes on to their own arm, it is not handball unless the ball then goes directly into the opponents' goal or the player scores immediately afterwards.
