Match Threads Spurs vs Sheffield Utd - 16th September - 3:00pm

Still amazed the keeper hardly moved an eyebrow when the shot sailed past him

I think it was the shot placement - expecting Deki to go far post there, with the defender still sort of blocking the near post.

He isn’t wrong though, is he? The refereeing IS actually very poor and inconsistent.

There's one camera shot I've seen that's facing the goal directly and as Deki shifts the ball onto his right the keeper shuffles to his left and he's off centre, presumably thinking Deki is gonna go for the far corner but goes near post and the keeper is just nowhere near it, and even if he dived for it he still would've been miles away.

There is nothing more fun than a last minute winner.

agree! I haven’t shouted this hard at the telly since Amsterdam.

Note: Amsterdam went to 11 on the volume knob - this was a cool 7.

Was at the game yesterday and I thought Sheffield United got exactly what they deserved. If they hadn’t of wasted so much time then we wouldn’t have had the chance in added time to score let alone the chance to score twice.

Probably wasn't expecting Deki to shoot with his right foot!

I definitely wasn’t LOL

Yes refereeing was poor, he allowed the time wasting to go unpunished for the majority of the match.
They were doing everything they could the whole match.
The keeper taking his gloves off several times, adjusting his socks off every goal kick. The unofficial drinks break during an injury. Their physios waiting ages to come on after the ref signalled them to come on. Players going down with ‘cramp’
How the 4th official only added 3 first half minutes was incredible.

That's because we had possession outside of the penalty area the first time, so we get the drop ball being the team in possession but the second time it happened when we had possession inside the box so the drop ball goes to the goalkeeper, think it all changed beginning of last season.

I was sure the ball came on before then but would have to see it again

It did, and everyone stopped playing, so Deki just chuffed the ball into box when it was obvious the whistle was coming. The thing is, Banks was so slow actually sounding the whistle, so technically the ball was in the box at that point (but the game had already stopped). It was just poor refereeing, imo. Banks was slow and failed to read the situation.

One thing I noticed was how much our players were slipping over.

Has always happened in this stadium

His balance was on his left, he was moving left and Deki played a reversed shot to his right so he had no chance.

It did but he didn't blow the whistle and stop the game until Deki was in the box so techincally it's when the game is stopped that matters but he should have used some discretion and given Spurs a dropped ball outside the box. Maybe he wanted to teach the idiot who threw the ball on a lesson.

He's not alone there were plenty of people round me did too.

Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere but was very noticeable in the stadium and on clips just how many stayed for the whole game.

Shouldn’t be something noticeable but how many times over the last few years have we been losing after 90+ mins and yet the stadium is still packed out.

Used to get waves of people leaving on 82mins but even after the final whistle the stands were still packed out even though we were losing going into extra time.

Saturday 3pm also helped.

I see another raft of accusations of racism against Spurs fans yesterday.

Anyone see any evidence of this? At this stage I expect it to be more likely than not that there were some racist pricks.

It’s twitter, there are always some twats posting random hate-filled things.

You can find posts about anything if you search hard enough

The statement from Sheffield United said it was messages sent to Foderingham after the game, so I think it was social media based and not from within the ground. That's not to say there wasn't any, but I certainly did not hear anything of that ilk.
