And should've been a pen on Cuti too, if that hadn't gone in

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

VAR high boot I reckon

 

[Rorschach]

we've found our new striker

 

[Bishop]

If Romero hadn't scored would he have gotten a pen for basically an identical pull down that was given against Bentancur?

 

[billyiddo]

VDV & Romero on for goal of the season

 

[Daisuk]

Come on, one more, Cuti.

We need to do what Arsenal and Liverpool did and put out a public communication of discontent about the quality of PGMOL. I totally respected both clubs for calling them out publicly after their own fiascos.

Howard Webb should be summoned to Lilywhite House tomorrow to explain his team's behaviour.

Usually I hate that sort of self indulgent nonsense. But I agree. That decision was so utterly, egregiously bad. We should.

 

[Dicko]

Can a referee reject the call to go to the monitor and say 'nah' before he goes over or does he have to go and see it if they recommend it?

 

[billyiddo]

I dont care if its a pen or not… Spurs dont deserve $hit from this game… players holding the ball to long, no movement around the player having the ball, panic at defence, no control where team mates are… and no bloddy end product! We are lucky this game was not finished at half time… we are back 10-15 years

We've been worth a point all day long

 

[afsoc4life]

Danso is such a professional defender.

 

[monkeybarry]

I was all for VAR but every week every game and every team suffers some absolute ridiculous decisions against them week in week out. Its beyond a joke.

Me too.
I'm still in favour of VAR the technology.
But VAR the process has ruined the game. Aka, the officials have ruined the game.

 

[SteveAWOL]

2 shots on target, 2 goals

There should be penalties at every single corner from now on

 

[Muttley]

I don't see it as self indulgent. I see it as taking responsibility.

PGMOL are not performing for a very long time and are not putting in corrective actions. They need reform.

Pretty sure they have to go and review. They’re allowed to stick with their original decision, but none of them have the gonads to do so (unless it’s against us).

 

[monkeybarry]

There was a bunch of holding action on that corner aswell, no var check?

Only on the third down I think

 

[afsoc4life]

Come on boys. Can we take this? Yes we can. Let's West Ham this people!!

 

[Bedfordspurs]

And should've been a pen on Cuti too, if that hadn't gone in

sure it would have been reviewed

 

[SteveAWOL]

There should be penalties at every single corner from now on

And all we have to do is put opponents in headlocks in order to be awarded them!!

It needs to be implemented so much better than it currently is.
