Tottenham Hotspur vs Rochdale - Match Thread

[ardiles]

We are so much more dominant but VAR has just spoilt the game.

LOL at BT what the fuck do they know at the best of times.

This match is fucking tinpot with VAR being attached to it. Ref. 101 in how to torpedo your career.

 

[FreddieYid]

Both Son and the encroaching Rochdale players broke the letter of the law, so how does that result in the decision that was made

 

[nightgoat]

wtf has happened to Harry Winks?

Other than being injured, not playing much and coming back against a rough and ready league one team in a blizzard, you mean? And to think you usually jump on anyone overreacting in match threads...

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Penalty or is it a throw in ref

 

[Shadydan]

Injury

But he's fit now, he's just played crap today, no idea what's happening to him.

 

[Mr Pink]

This ref is fucking atrocious

 

[felmani26]

Lamela does do some fucking daft things at time...

 

[Phomesy]

Good touch Winks

VAR Has ruined this game for me

Yep no ref will have the bollocks to make a decision on his own as he will get killed if he fucked up and didn't go to var same is happening in rugby. In football it will be worse with players surrounding the ref all the time

I thought a player was allowed to feint in the run up to a penalty? Just not stop and feint when he has completed the run up.

Be interesting to see how those sort of penalties are reffed in the coming weeks...

Usually they stand every time.

First offence was the encroachment so it should have been retaken.

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

What exactly is the point of Llorente ?

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Because you can’t stop your run up. You can slow down but not stop. That is a free kick to them. Son’s mistake.

Did he actually stop, I thought he nearly stopped but not quite.

 

[Indisguise]

I think it's safe to say that we're all vary unhappy!

Si sock o

Lamela is finished as an attacking player.

Sad but true.

 

[Streetspur77]

Bollocks. He has the final decision but it just shows that he is weak and spineless

You honestly expect him to overrule someone who's seen footage of the incident? That would be ridiculously stupid, he had to go with people who've actually seen replays

Imagine if it came out he wrongly overruled the VAR guy, there would be even more hell to pay, it's the VAR dudes fault for giving bad advice from his position of power.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

VAR is simply introducing another clueless idiot into the refereeing proceedings. What a joke!

 

[only1waddle]

Lamela always available for the outball
