Torres

[Spursalot]

I've seen worse things than that put it that way. He got sent off in the end so it's not like it cost us. If he had stayed on the pitch and scored or set up the winner then I would see why people would get angry. It annoyed me but I didn't jump out of my seat with rage.

er.. It wouldn't have changed the game if he was off the pitch for 40ish minutes rather than 10?

"I've seen worse" is hardly saying anything at all. We've all seen worse, that's not an excuse.

He got sent off in the end, but had he been sent off earlier our chances of winning would surely have increased significantly? How you can claim that it didn't cost us I don't understand. We'll never know for sure what would have happened had he been sent off obviously, but it probably wouldn't have hurt our chances.

Incidently just seen the incident again, first since the game, and where Vertonghen holds his head is exactly where the ball strikes his face, because it doesn't hit his forehead because of the impact by Torres. Torres definitely goes from one challenge a couple of seconds before to another on Super V with intent though. The ball striking you on the cheek bone hurts and I can understand why Vertonghen holds his face.

er.. It wouldn't have changed the game if he was off the pitch for 60ish minutes rather than 10?

Er... teams get players sent off and go on to win games still. Impossible to say what would have happened.

True, but it's also impossible to know that it didn't affect the game. We didn't win so there is a possibility it cost us two points.

I know i'd much rather have been 1-0 up against 10 men for 40 minutes than 1-1 with 10 minutes to go against ten.

 

[Modric THFC]

Thought he was a total scumbag of a player today, dissent all the time, kicking the ball away, the rake of the face, dirty fouls

But what happened with the sending off from my angle it looked like he went in to try and hurt Verts

Ive seen Jose calling Verts a disgrace in football who should be banned, but the bile that comes out of that ****s face it doesnt surprise me...

Any gifs of the incident or what did you guys think..

I used to like Torres, not anymore, cretin of a man playing for the biggest bunch of cretinous ****s in world football

Agree 100%. But I blame Mourinho. That's why I never wanted Mourinho within a mile of our Club when other people frequently ****ed themselves over the idea of getting him as manager.

Nauseating how the media fawn at this **** of a man.

Torres was outstanding today but really messed up on the second yellow, which was wholly, wholly merited for the way he went for Vertonghen with no chance of winning the ball. Clear yellow, as was the first, and so perfectly justified red.

Unlike everyone else, I thought the ref got most things right today.

I agree wit you

Torres was great second half and a real pain for Dawson but once he was booked he was a liability for them

 

[Rune]

Did not Torres also hold his head after the incident? How is Verts worse then Torres?

 

[Dorothy]

Mourinho (sic) = Prick
Torres =- Girly Prick

Best left at that. Perhaps once the former has had a chance to look at the VT he can provide the necessary apologies to players and officials. Perhaps the FA will sanction him for bringing the game into disrepute again and ensure that Torres receives a penalty worth of trying to scratch another Man's face.

Pricks.

 

[onlyme]

Torres was excellent, loads better than Soldado let's be honest.

Agree.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

I think the ref on the commentary said they may go after him for the gouge even though he was yellowed.

Classless club with classless players and classless manager.

I guess they can if hew a a booked for the trip / dissent and not the scratch.

Hope so. He deserves a lengthy ban imo. 3-4 matches at least.

 

[Yermiyahu]

I thought that Torres' red card was well-deserved.

He played like an utter cnut all afternoon.

Dawson can make any average striker look world class

 

[Robspur12]

He didn't touch him tbh. Vertonghen was rolling around holding his face when utorres' arm was a good distance away from him.

So did Torres by the way or do you only criticize your own players.

 

[Robspur12]

Avb instead of going on how he and the cnut don't get on should come out and condemn Torres for the rake across the face. Imagine youngsters watching that it was disgraceful.

Do you get paid to say er in a patronising manner or does it come naturally?

Naturally, particularly when I see someone trying to patronise their fellow fans for no reason what so ever
