I’m surprised you guys aren’t complaining about Dan Burn not receiving a second yellow when he stopped a Spurs counter with his arm. He should have been gone. Fair play for taking it on the chin and moving on…. Unlike Arteta who is playing the victim card yet again after his team were hard done by when Saliba headbutted a player to the floor.
It is an offence if a player: deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalise scores in the opponents' goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental So now we've established the goal was correctly given I'd like to offer you all my most sincere condolences because if this situation was reversed I wouldn't feel it was fair.... common sense tell me that. You lost fair and square and the game stat's indicate it was close game... not a robbery.
I would gladly take a relegation if it meant that ENIC & Levy disappear out of Spurs, short term pain for long term gain hopefully. Going around and round on Levy`s roundabout of sporting failure year after year became rather tiresome and boring years ago, we are desperate for change at the very top.
An outcome does not confirm any offence. The player turned into the opponent and not the other way round. No foul. Would I have thought different if roles reversed? No!
Can't agree you can clearly see the player shoulder him in the face while moving directly into him. It's a foul anywhere on the pitch. It's very similar to Arsenals penalty conceded actually... I'm happy to let it go though. These days over a full game managers, fans and players have become accustomed to blaming one or two decisions for results, but the truth is there was no robbery you just lost Yesterday and it hurt. The rules were applied that's not a robbery... whether we agree with the rules is another matter.
I would tend to agree, but it will be interesting to see if/when the same thing happens this aftenoon and it "obviously" gets chalked off...
They just decided it would be more funny to allow the goal I guess. I wouldn't be happy and was expecting it to be chalked off. That said I do think Gordon's was a pen and there was 102 mins of decisions and play.
I’ve seen a lot of people moan about the amount of injury time but I think it was fine. There were substantial injuries to Austin, dubravka, Gordon and joelinton alone, plus 9 subs (?) I think. Then the general 2/3 minutes as well. Then in injury time, botman was down with cramp for the first two minutes. Can’t understand commentators who couldn’t work out where the initial 10 minutes he’s actually came from! it could have even have been more.
Also if that happens vs Man United the media would be up in arms, but the harsh reality is that the mass majority enjoy laughing at Spurs.....I recognise this factor because we've always had the same thing going on.
Not complaining about the time I was expecting it , but I'm just highlighting the scope of the game rather than focussing on one tiny fragment of time. I think our lot just got annoyed because it was the same ref that blew 17 seconds over when Newcastle were in on goal to win 4-3 vs pool......there was a Var incident and a stoppage in added time.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, although I am sure that on a different day a ref may have seen it as a foul. I just don't see what Kulusevski could have done. He didn't change course or raise his shoulder. Gordon literally turned into him. Could he have foreseen that movement? Possibly, but then you are talking about an intent to injure, which doesn't seem likely. Anyway....it's over...let's move on.
An unforeseen revelation since the game is the surprising fact that Munse can apparently write in coherent sentences. Good for him.
Just thought i would add, my thoughts Joelinton one i would be annoyed his hand ball wasn't called but you can see why it was also given. Burn should have gotten a second yellow Gordon fouled in the box. Yes kulu doesn't mean to take him out even though he ran square on but it's still clumsy. Gordon knocks it past him and tries to change and the two collide (face to shoulder) and Gordon is taken out.
