Spurs (H) 2nd Leg - Post Match Thread

[Thaksins Love Child]

It’s because it isn’t a handball under PL rules without VAR as its not deliberate.

UEFA have said that a goal cannot be scored either VAR where the arm is used at all, deliberate or not.

Isnt that from next season?

Pissed ...? Slightly. But watching from home I knew we would lose this one. Gut feeling I guess. And I didn't celebrate sterling scoring. Cos overall we didn't deserve it. Why David Silva keeps playing ahead of others just not making any sense. Ederson keeping.... Yes great passer but general keeping is average. Oh well blues..... on to main target which is league. Fuck champions League. Even if we won this tie I don't think we would have won the competition. Barca lLiverpoo Ajax. Tough tough teams. And going for quadruple.... Would have needed a better squad to have handled this.

If you can't celebrate a moment like that, then football really isn't for you.

Ahhh.. so next season we’ll score a similar one and it will be ruled out because of the new rule.... bound to happen

Cruel and unusual but we deserve to be out

From an attacking sense we were fantastic but once again the defensive frailties were massive exposed. Our CBs are not great defenders, and even after we scored the fourth I had the feeling we'd concede.

Ederson doesn't make enough vital saves. That's four errors in three games. We can bemoan VAR but it gave us a penalty last week and we failed to capitalise on it.

Yes we support our team through thick and thin, but UEFA are a bent organisation that had Platini at it's head do not forget that ever.

nope never forget mate...but we need to turn it into something different - I just think that UEFA in their suits will be happy we have gone out because of the booing that occurs, they would not want that to happen in a final, no way.

The issues last night was the VAR decision for handball was not shown to the ref from all the angles - therefore he made the decision based on that one image that did not show the full picture. Like they do in rugby, the ref should be shown all the angles and why not allow us all to be heard what is being said like they do in rugby

There was constant booing at Barca though

You believe Spurs out played us then?

I think we need to recognise that the big players are ambitious and want to win this competition and to be properly recognised as a great team we need to win it, that means as fans we need to want to win it more as well.
