Match Threads Spurs Vs Sporting CP

[Bluto Blutarsky]

But watching it again and again, I still don't see it conclusively that Kane was ahead.

For better or worse, this is what VAR measured in a still shot with lines, and Kane was inches in front of the ball.

That's just goal line technology though, surely? I've got no issue with that.

It didn’t exist. The same with Lampard’s disallowed goal for England against Germany.

 

[Garbob]

Hopefully Bryan Gil gets more mins in the premier league after that cameo. Needs to be bedded in more

 

[idontgetit]

Maybe I’m stupid, but I still see a massive grey area there. Do you have to make an attempt to play the ball with your feet or head? No sane defender in this defenders situation would not make an attempt to play the ball out to a corner in that situation.

Exactly, the defender was standing there trying to block the ball. He was trying to get a touch, he just didn't have a chance to react to the header. So is it still unintentional?

We were poor first half, good second half.

I agree with that. First half was very poor but I don't agree with the "we were shit for 70 mins" narrative. Second half we gave it a good go, Dier of all people could have had a hat trick lol

 

[Julmust]

I rarely celebrate goals anymore as you just never know what VAR will do. The way VAR is used Is absolutely horrible and drain the joy and passion out off the game.

Yup. Haven’t really celebrated a goal in years. A goal is rather a slow and steady rising of the mood that only really settles a few minutes after the opposing team kick-off.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

What this thread proves is that a lot of people don't understand the offside rule.

The goal was marginally offside and was called as such.

You can argue that three minutes of checking a marginal decision isn't the spirit of the game but as both the offside and var rules stand at the moment it was the correct call.

Still fucking hurts though.

agreed it’s probably marginally offside, buts it’s neither clear nor obvious. After a minute of temple-rubbing, VAR should stick to linesman’s initial ruling

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Abysmal performance, no matter how to look at it..Conte looked fed up most the game.

Abysmal for about an hour - got just about what we deserved in the end!

 

[idontgetit]

In the which case you can see why they’ve given it offside. What we need to remember is that the viewing we see can be distorted whereas VAR will assess multiple angles that we don’t get to see which is this case shows it was offside.

That's stupid then if they have other angles that the broadcaster doesn't get.

 

[slartibartfast]

I cant recall seeing the line drawn from the center of the ball before.
Regardless, 4mins is a bloody joke.
Should be 3 people in VAR, look at it and make a decision, majority wins. End of.

 

[Yiddo100]

Overall though we got drawn in the easiest CL group we could’ve hoped for pre draw. So far we really haven’t done enough to deserve to be going through. To deserve it now we need to go and not get beat away at a team 5th in the French league. For a PL Top4 club that should be doable, if we can’t we’re clearly not worthy of still being in this tournament.

All I’m wondering is the backwards and new phase bit, I have no problem with the decision if that is all rendered useless

 

[nidge]

Yes, agreed. But from the pictures I saw it wasn't clear.

You seeing a 2d image at a wonky angle means you can't possibly tell if he is offside or not from it when it is that close.

 

[taidgh]

I don't know. @cwy21 will have the answers.

I want to know what happened to semi-automated offside in the group stages. The image that shows is the clearest way to see. But we get lines instead this time. Why?

 

[stormfly]

A few people on here still trying to say we didn’t deserve a win and harping back to the first half is really confusing. We absolutely battered them second half. We showed a lot of fight and finally stepped up. We’ve had a tough spell lately but give the lads some credit for turning it around in the second half. It’s ok to be positive sometimes.

 

[Trix]

In the which case you can see why they’ve given it offside. What we need to remember is that the viewing we see can be distorted whereas VAR will assess multiple angles that we don’t get to see which is this case shows it was offside.

It's one of them mate. Feels very harsh and I feel if it's that tight and takes that long it means they aren't sure. In that case the goal should stand imo.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Docherty is going to look at the rule book apparently. Fly meet wall.

Wonder if the FA do a pop up picture format ?

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

@glacierSpurs what are you disagreeing with? They are the laws of the game mate. They might be stupid and make little sense, but none the less they are the laws.

Yeah, I am trying to calmly explain the laws and getting disagrees from people who clearly don’t know or understand the law.

 

[Jamturk]

Because it’s Hargreaves hoddle and some other car, they don’t have a clue

The other car is Pedro Mendes who played for us with distinction.

p.s Famous for the goal against Man Utd that was deemed not to of crossed the line.

 

[Trent Crimm]

Whenever we need that “reaction” it never turns up. Home or away. We may talk it but as soon as Marseille turn up we will be like fucking salmon getting tickled. I’d love to be wrong btw.

 

[Russ1201]

Well, I am holding out hope based on the last 30 odd minutes and getting fcked by VAR that we might actually manage to show a bit of anger in our next game.

Love your optimism wish I had it right now it's been beaten out of me this season.
