OH FFS, CITEH REALLY *IS* THE MOST PLASTIC TEAM IN THE EPL

All there fans gave to that game was negativity. Jeering the CL anthem at the outset and whistling/ booing spurs possession throughout.

Lads, we're through to the Champions League semi finals!

Just had to say it again. Can't sleep.

I thought I was the only one who cannot get to sleep tonight. The adrenaline is still pumping through my body. First thing I done tonight was to rewatch the game again but this time not have any fear of having a heart attack! The game definitely falls into the category of being almost impossible to watch live but once its over I just can't stop watching it. Especially when the whole stadium thought that Raheem Sterling had scored in the 93rd minute. I'm sure every City fan will be thinking that their season just collapsed tonight but as a Spurs fan I cannot express how proud I am to be a Spurs fan. One of the greatest games in Champions League history, only behind the Liverpool victory over AC Milan in Istanbul.

I'm going to wake up in about six hours and at some point between the thirtieth and sixtieth second of bleary-eyed waking up it will hit me that we knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League tonight in a match that will be remembered for decades and that we're in the Champions League semi-finals against Ajax in a fortnight.

That'll be good.

Just to recap:

1 point from the first 3 group-stage matches.

Losing the 4th match, until a Kane equaliser at 78', and a Kane winner at 89'

Now going to the CL semi-finals.

Lets face facts though, we were a bit shit tonight. We need to improve.

Might be a bit of an inquest into VAR after that. We've actually been very lucky. It turns out it completely failed to show an angle of the Llorente goal which shows a very, very clear handball that should have seen it disallowed.

Firstly that angle is really not as clear as your making out. The quality of the video is poor and it's very hard to tell if the defender flicked it onto llorentes arm and got a touch, if it touched llorentes arm first, or if it touched another part of llorentes body. The problem is two dimensional images can never show the whole picture. On angle can look definitive and another angle can look definitive showing the complete opposite. It really isn't clear cut.

Secondly, it's very much not a clear and obvious error so the decision, by law, should stand.

Thirdly, there is no attempt to play the ball with his hand nor did the hand set up his goal. It's completely irrelevant to the outcome and even by the rules that you have quoted.

Fourthly, who actually cares, it was a split moment decision and the very fact that people are still debating it proves that to the letter of the law the decision was the correct one.

Any man city fan arguing this is just a pathetic attempt to deflect attention from the fact that city failed to defend well enough to win the match. It would be the same were it the other way round. This miscarriage of justice it's just a fairly complicated decision In a football game that might, and only.might, of been given the other way. It's not a miscarriage of justice it's football. Anyone making this an issue needs to.get over it and move on.

Lets face facts though, we were facing arguably the best team in the world, away, and did enough to move on to the next round.


And just for reference - since just the start of 2019 - Man City have outscored opponents at home 49-3 in all comps. We scored 3 today.

Well, my wonderful, beautiful, glorious fellow Spurs brothers and sisters, I'm now going to bed

I love you all because you love what I love - Spurs!

I may well fail to sleep, so may 'see' you all again soon, but in the meantime:

Goodnight and COYS!

In regards to Fernando's handball. The rule book is just a loose guide if you will; The ref's the law and he said it's a goal, after watching a replay. I don't give a fuck if he full on Shoryukend it into the net, ref gave the goal, we won, and now we're gonna win champs league. Gonna be gangster.

So would it be fair to say that’s one of the most incredible matches in CL history, along with Barca v PSG?

Barca/PSG and (much as I hate them) Istanbul are the only ones that compete in my memory

 

[Flashspur]

dunno, his hip scored the goal after it touched his arm. if the rule is the ball cant touch your arm at any point I dont know how it was a goal

Did it touch his arm? I didn’t see that?

Nope.

“A goal scored directly from the hand/arm (even if accidental) and a player scoring or creating a goal-scoring opportunity after having gained possession/control of the ball from their hand/arm (even if accidental) will no longer be allowed”

They did also point out that this was intended as a formal claification of how the rules already tend to be applied. I'm pretty confident that had the ref seen that angle, it would've been ruled out.

It’s not clearly defined as the rule now is it so what point are u trying to make?

So I’m meant to be starting a new job on the day of the CL semi final second leg..

Sick leave for the first two days should be ok right? Right?

I’ll give you a letter dude. Does a letter from a lawyer instead of a doctor still count? ?
