Match Threads Luton vs Tottenham - Match Day 8 - Oct 7th - KO 12:30pm

I’m sorry but richarlison should’ve buried that chance. Two yards out, keeper nowhere to be seen. Not sure what you watched but that absolutely was a sitter.

It was poor but now it looks like he was having his shirt pulled badly by the defender when he was going for the ball, so I’m willing to forgive him now for that one.

 

[spursfan77]

The same feeling I had under Poch in earlier seasons.

Was thinking today someone like Conte who was supposed to be a winner just kept constantly playing the same system and players, even when it clearly wasn’t working.

Big Ange is embarrassing Conte more and more with every week that passes

It’s like no one has ever dived before.
Shameful Jonathan Pierce Shameful, shameful, shameful.

Wasn’t it JP? Either way, it’s annoying when commentators own bias seeps into their commentary, even if it’s just their intonation when describing goals etc

He also went with it with his foot, probably not expecting it to bounce so high, going with his head would have been the easier way to finish....but that's easy to say looking back on it.

Might have been answered already, but not seen it in a few pages I flicked through.

Bissouma, is it just 1 game suspension or 2? As he his 5 yellows and then red. Or is it just 1 with red and back to 4 yellows? As it was upgrades to red with other yellow.

One game suspension for the red, back to 4 yellows.

Biss misses the Fulham game, back for Palace... but if he gets booked against Palace he'll be suspended for Chelsea.

 

[Jenko]

I'm not defending Biss, as to do a dive like that when on a yellow is just silly. But they were the only two times he broke the rules in the whole game and he was punished twice.

Both in the first half. What, no warning at all from the ref? It's a bit harsh imo. Its not like he endangered an opponent. I'm a cynical fucker so please forgive me for thinking there may have been a subconscious seed in the refs head that did not want to let spurs away with anything. Normally you get a talking to before a 2nd yellow in the first half.

Hopefully if there is this idea of us getting luck from the refs that they can reset that shit now, cos we got no breaks from them in this match.

Getting this feeling some have completely forgotten the quality of chances we created first half in their analysis and solely focusing on Luton's bad misses second half against ten.

Should have been 3-0 up after about 15 minutes.

I feel bad saying this because he’s probably a nice guy but I also can’t stand the commentary on the Spurs youtube vids. Have to watch them on mute.

The dive was really dreadful and deserved a yellow but we see dozens of dives every week that go unpunished. What he was punished for was basically doing it worse than the others because the offence itself is just the same. He's also had some really soft yellows this season. Hope he learns from it though because he's so important for us.

Trouble is every time he goes down now ref’s May will be thinking twice whether it’s a foul or a dive with the dive being the go to option.

I feel like the commentary of the dive in MOTD went OTT. never heard commentary of a dive like that before and we’ve seen some howlers over the last few seasons.
It was almost as if he was trying to drum up controversy/negative press for us after last week.

I don’t believe for one second he would ever call Salah “shameful” or any other player or a top 5 club for that matter

 

[coy-spurs1882]

don't wanna see us in 3rd kit again...this kit is probably jinxed

If it were jinxed then Luton would’ve scored the 2 sitters they somehow contrived to miss

My gut feeling is the ref saw the dive and leapt at the booking, forgetting he'd booked Bissouma, then realised he had no option but to issue the 2nd yellow.

There's no complaints from me though, was a bloody daft thing to do.

Nope. It was a horrific dive.
