***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Arsenal OMT***

[stinkfoot]

@Raziel Definitely. Maddison looked genuinely tinkled off just after getting his MoTM award.

sweetest thing for me was the second. I was like “if there is any justice in this world he misses this penalty” but happening the way it did was even better justice than I could hope for.

I wonder if MOTD will say anything about that horrific tackle from Nketiah on Vicario. My guess is they won't. It will be brushed aside.

He doesn't connect so it doesn't count.

I think if you throw a punch you're likely to be sent off hit or miss (this can be interpreted in two ways, bit like VAR)

Bloke has been here 5 minutes and already been written off.
He's a decent squad option and will get better.

Par for the course, new players are either world class stars or donkeys after 90 mins or less.

Nothing to see here, move on.

Not just new. Although some can gain cult status.

I would love tosee one replay of how white handballed just before the penalty.

As far as i'm aware if an attacking player handballs before a goal (even unintentionally) it's not given?

Some of it was dodgy as fudge though.

Then vicario decided to go long late in the game when we weren't being pressed.

S

He didn’t have control
It was evidence with the penalty and the Bissouma yellow

Bissoumas was a yellow.. but he should have asked for a review on the hand form white

for the pen the ref was right. It’s no one late because of proximity, deflection and natural position. He bottled it

the Nketiah did what could have been a leg breaker on Vicario ..

there really isn’t many refs who control the games now

Stephen Hawkins' voice box, is that you?

More I see that tackle the more I keep expecting Vics ankle to break. Disgrace he stayed on

BTW, Raya was crap for our first....Vicario is king

MOTD view = “Orange card”.

Thanks for that.

Gave it plenty of focus. Both Ian Wright and Shay Given said Nketiah should have gone.

Don't know how you come to that conclusion! They actually said it was the most red card all season, and Nketiah was extremely lucky to stay on the pitch.

Not the pundits. The commentator said it.

Well that's not the view of MOTD is it?

 

[Yiddo]

That's where you're wrong. I didn't write the rules either, but I've read them often enough during over 20 years of refereeing. The rules make no distinction between contact or no contact. An attempt to bring down an opponent is equal to actually bringing him down. If you lunge in with a dangerous tackle, it doesn't matter if you connect or not, according to the rules. It's the action that is penalised, not the outcome.

Rules on a bit of paper and what happens on a pitch are completely different, if they wasn't we wouldn't be talking about refereeing mistakes every week.

Take that up with @johnola
