    It's still dissent, even if the decision's wrong. He should've added one for the dive, though.
    Feigning a head injury should be seen as an extremely bad thing at the moment and going forward. They're not a joke.

    I couldn't stand Ian Moores!

    I'm looking at a newspaper from Nov 12th 1949. Headline "Hot" Spurs Swamp Blades! Spurs 7 Sheff United 0.
    Other headline. 40,000 to watch Tommy Lawton score 3 v Swindon Town.......and now Notts County in the non league.
    Dennis Compton looking perfectly lovely with his Brylcreem advert!

    If VAR cannot intervene when the ref has made that sort of monumental balls up then what the hell is it for? We see it disallow goals for miniscule offsides give stupid handball decisions and then when a ref a made an error like this it can't get involved - It's Insane

    Have got a great collect of spurs scrapbooks bought from ebay from 61, 62, 63 , 67 70s and early 80s.
    I used to make them as a kid in the late 70s but they were destroyed by my ****wit mother and her husband. I told Mrs RCL about it when my girls were little (I started making scrapbooks of games they went to as kids) and she gave me the idea. I have carried on making them one each every season since.

    I have also got a great collection of original spurs press photos.

    Am one day gonna set up an Instagram account and put them up.

    Got some great ones like the Dave Mackay grabbing Billy Bremner, Villa scoring the winner in 81 (he signed it for me!), the one of two tea ladies with hand bags walking up the side of the pitch chatting ignoring the match, loads of celebrating trophies etc.
    Got about 250 or so all with press stamps or stickers on them.

    Love my collections.

    Do Tottenham still print the yearly hand book , my dad had them all from the early 50s and as far as I can remember up to the late 80s , I left behind all my old scrap books, ticket stubs scarfs ,shirts ( some signed by Mackay, Blanchflower and Greaves) and programmes when I moved out but would have a nostalgic look at them when I visited , after dad died I asked my Mum if I could have them to be told that one of her sisters had thrown the lot in the bin, when I calmed down I asked her sister why ,the reply was " your Mum doesn't need too many memories of the time you and your father were away and not with her" I never spoke to her again, that was 2001 and she died in February but I could not bring myself to even watch her funeral on line she had hurt me that much

    My oldest Spurs handbook is from season 1911-12. My oldest football annual is from the Evening News for 1901-2. I did say I was a nutcase,didn't I?

    That is some collection, you must have items that spurs museum would be interested in when it opens

    Sorry mate...that sounds horrible.
    For what it's worth I don't think you did anything wrong.

    Have had nothing to do with my mums husband for decades. Hopefully he died a sad lonely death and was found with maggots feasting on his decaying body (not that I hang onto a grudge <laugh>).

    When my mum left him I helped her move and looked after her (seeing her twice a week, taking her shopping etc) but she became so odious to my girls I told her to do one. My kid brother and sister (who saw her 2 or 3 times a year) acted like I was a **** so I told them to do one too as my kids come first.

    Ain't seen any of them for well over a decade.

    When my mum died in 2019 the feckers actually expected me to go to her funeral.

    I consider myself to be kind and I genuinely try to be, everyday...but if looking after my kids and putting them (and my own mental health) first instead of bowing to the wishes of abusive emotional ******s make me a bad person so be it.

    @Alfie Conn & @remembercolinlee - I am sorry to read these posts - Alfie I feel for you as I those memories are so wonderful and looking through them knowing that one day you would have them must have been fabulous for someone to take that away is just horrendous.

    Colin you are so right your family is the most important thing - and from where I sit you seem like a thoroughly decent bloke.

    It's weird this place...genuinely think it's good for my head...you can chat away and no one is ****ty to you.
    I always look at it like an old fashion pub...always someone to chat to and a good live and let live attitude.
    And there's some real smart arse mofos on here too...
    @Spurlock yep...you are one of them <laugh>

    Was hoping Bayern v PSG would be a corker but Lewandowski is injured and there's a blizzard so it's a bit crap. Still, nice seeing Poch on the touchline :emoticon-0153-broke

    PSG 2 up, that touch to kill the ball by Marquinhos and the finish superb - Cant imagine and English centre back with that control.

    Marquinhos injured now

    2-0 PSG

    Spurs-like defending from Bayern. Truly awful.
