Spurs (H) Post Match Thread

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

Should have disallowed it but given a pen since they must have seen the pull on Laporte's arm before it.

But then they aren't going to pass up an opportunity to make sure City don't get off to a perfect start. It's feels like this has confirmed all my concerns that they'll save all their "mistakes" for City and keep calling it a coincidence.

So, there we have it, most comments about VAR and not the game. That tells you everything you need to know about what the game has become. On the first two performances spurs will be lucky to make the top six they were so poor. Without Sane we lack the blistering pace which is going to be a problem during the season. Think Foden would have given us more pace in that midfield today. I don’t see a midfield of Gundo and Rodri being quick enough in this league. For me Foden needs to start now to bring the energy. Bernardo and Kevin still getting up to speed. But there is no doubt about it we were snagged today.

Is Foden fast? Genuine question, as
I hadn’t really associated him with sprint speed so far if I’m honest.
Agree with your general point though.

Why appease it when, as you say, It's ruining the game.
The missed chances are irrelevant to the ridiculous decision we saw today.

Totally agree but what can we do?
It's not going away and maybe 1 day we will get something like that in our favour but don't hold your breath.
The tradegy is that a game we totally dominated and maybe a game enjoyed by neutrals was ruined by a marginal decision.
So everyone now remembers the game for VAR and not our outstanding display.
Very sad.

I think I might take VAR better if the ref went over to the side of the pitch looked at the attack instead of some bloke in a shed hundreds of miles away

Looked liked it kicked off outside after the game.

Can’t stand spurs fans

No problem with the disallowed goal if every game they look at after every goal and a similar incident goal gets disallowed.

Spurs looked good but we should won that game by 2 clear goals at least.

As it happens VAR is not really fit for purpose- the enjoyment of the wonderful game we all love is being ruined and it will gradually kill the game if it is either stopped or changed drastically
It is time for all fans to voice their disapproval and make a protest at the next home game - VAR Does NOT work

 

[Uptop]

VAR is a load of shite and if applied consistently will ruin the most exciting moments of games for every fan of every club. Fans will learn to never celebrate goals until VAR is checked, those in the moment celebrations will be ruined and overall atmosphere diminished because of it. VAR allowing a goal will be a sense of relief with the majority of the excitement gone.

However, for this match, we should have already been out of sight and not worrying about VAR ****s overruling us. Onto the next match.

Said it earlier, VAR decisions like this will cause real violence in and around the grounds going forwards.
