I didn't see a thread on this so I started a new one.
There is a lot of social media talk tonight about Craig Pawson's behaviour when Harry Kane scored the winner.
Pawson is obviously gutted. Not because he is a Man City fan, but more likely an Arsenal fan. It doesn't take much web browsing to find him gutted that an Arsenal player did not score in a game he reffed.
And I don't have video for this..... but guess the ref?
(from the guardian min by min in our game with Arsenal in September.

56 mins: Another penalty shout, but at the other end, after White makes contact with Kane. The referee puts his whistle to his lips, then takes it away again. It would have been a really stupid penalty to give away, but it did look like a penalty to me (and Gary Neville).
I am sure there are other incidents, but his behaviour when Kane scores is enough! Craig Pawson should never be involved in a Spurs match ever again!
I believe that there is an actual bias against us from many referees, the fa, and the premier league itself. There is too much evidence. The only way we are going to fight this bias is by tackling it head on. Calling it out when it happens and demanding live audio of what the refs and var are stating. I know that Oil City's penalty tonight was a 50/50 call but with Pawson as your 4th referee that makes it 100%. If that was Laporte and not Romero, there is no way Spurs are getting that penalty.
Cheers.
Up the Spurs!
