    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Spurs needing one point from two games against middish-table opposition. Can't see that being a stress-free experience.

    I'd interpret that to be if your toe is offside, you're offside. bricky I know, frustrating I know but can't see how you could administer the rule otherwise.

    Where does it say that in the laws of the game? A lot of the stuff outside of offside is subjective. The Maddison one the other night. Some people think it's a pen, some don't. That's after having two days to digest and review it. The West Ham goal the other day. Again, three days later people...

    That's the problem. I'm all for the "spirit of the game" but my "spirit of the game" is very different to someone else's "spirit of the game". It's leaves room for interpretation and room for interpretation brings inconsistency. Fans weren't absolutely fine with using our own eyes. Officials...

    All you're doing is moving the threshold and giving a bit more leeway to the attacker. You'll still have people moaning that it's marginal so shouldn't be offside.

    There was more tolerance years ago for fine margins. You'd look at it and go "ah he's level, that's on". I never, in all my years, heard "his toe is offside there, how did they allow that". However, you also had some stinking offside decisions that you'd look at and say "that's miles offside...

    There are always going to be mistakes because you have human beings making decisions under huge pressure on incidents that can be interpreted subjectively. It was never going to be perfect. I think I'm correct in saying that they have a 5 person panel evaluating whether the officials got a...

    Antonin Kinsky

    Why do you say that? He's in the right place and he reacts brilliantly. For me luck is when you're in position and the striker hits it right at you. Kinsky had to move his hands quick to get that decisive touch. I thought it was a magnificent save.

    It definitely has. Doesn't mean officials are getting everything right or that there is even a 100% correct decision possible in some instances but, without any doubt, it has reduced errors. Whether the cost of that reduction is worth the hassle that goes with it is another debate entirely.

    It’s a fair point. Recently reactivated my Facebook account for a personal reason but have been scrolling it and winding myself up with this brick. However, the mainstream media stuff I haven’t really sought but it’s any time you watch football.

    I'm starting to believe that VAR has made referee's job impossible. All I see from fans of every club online is whinging and moaning about refereeing decisions and I'm honest to GHod fed up of it. My belief is that the expectation of fans is that VAR means that every single call should be...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    Wolves was a fairly stodgy performance to be fair aside from the opening 15 mins. Villa was more the outlier IMO. We had an energy and a hunger against Villa that I've not seen from us in years. Probably not since Poch. Football can be strange like that sometimes - it's not a lack of will or...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Leeds United, Mon May 11th, 8pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    The proposal would leave a lot open to interpretation, introduce more subjectivity and that leads to inconsistency. And where you have inconsistency, you'll make the officials' lives harder IMO.

    I wouldn't. There is enough lads throwing themselves down as it is without giving them another scenario where they can scam a penalty.

    Antonin Kinsky

    Absolutely this. He's a keeper so he could still make the mistake that costs us (or the save that keeps us up if last night wasn't it) but, based on everything we know now, keeping him in goal is the right decision. He made a very good save v Sunderland, a great one v Wolves and two brilliant...
