If I was harry I wouldn't think twice about calling him a C***. Take the fine.
Adebayor wasn't offside for his goal
We should have been given three more pen's - handball on the line, trip on Benny & pulling Kaboul down. All were by Shawcross who would also have been sent off. The 2nd yellow for Kab's was debatable - it was a silly trip, not a blatant foul.
Poor play by the ref, and he needed some help out there from the lino's.
Edit - Forgot to mention Crouch's handball for their first goal.
The officials in general were absolutely shite.
I mean the big calls such as kaboul's penalty appeal, the handball off the line, the disallow goal and the soft red card were atrocious, but the general wrong decisions for throw-ins, corners and fouls was horrendously in stoke's favour.
Stoke did the same thing last week .
We weren't very good for 60 minutes but Foy was a shit **** for all 95.
This. Two clear corners given the other way, two peno's, a handball for the first goal, a clearance on the line with the hand which should have been a red and to make matters worse Ade was onside.
Add Kaboul's red and that's 4 clear match changing decisions that were given against us. I'm livid.
Ref had a howler today, not taking it personally against Spurs. His performance was rubbish,... possiby the biggest travesty was that shawcross should've been off for hauling down Kaboul and numerous handballs/fouls, but walked away without even a yellow... shameful. And there are some who call for shawcross to play for the national team :duh: maybe the rugby team... :razz:
Frankly, losing on the road to a scrappy (cheat/hack) team like Stoke is not the end of the world, but that double yellow for red is gonna hurt Spurs with Kaboul out... no appeal for the double yellow - just have to eat it :bang:
