Totally agree with you and, yes, that is what they said in the studio. My point was, if another ref: looked at the incident closely (there was a gentle push) and agreed that is enough to rule a goal out, how could a ref (albeit, maybe a different one) look closely at the Kane goal and say the blatant push in the back wasn't enough to disallow a goal? As I said, that just becomes BS. Very frustrating as a Leeds fan in particular because that means they assign two bent ref's to all of our games
Otherwise, I actually thought the ref last night was decent
Think that’s the problem with VAR, thought the ref did well Tuesday night, other than for the Rutter decision. In truth it was a push, and Wilson did a horrendous flying swan act, which I think persuaded the ref. Probably a large percentage of refs would have allowed it to stand. That the problem with this subjective bollocks.
On the Kane foul on Meslier, when they reviewed it on Sky’s Ref watch, Dermot Gallagher (who I know is disliked on here, by some), said he was amazed the Spurs goal was allowed to stand. But as he’s at pains to point out every week, unlike offside, this is a subjective call, and refs have different tolerances for challenges/yellow and red cards. I think we see that from game to game.
Thought Firpo’s improving (he needed to). Have serious doubts about Aaronson/Mckennie and Kristenson. Think Rutter will improve as his fitness and physicality gets better, though we may have to wait till next season for the latter. Bamford has been poor since the first season in the PL. Hopefully he’ll find his form soon, though hopefully Rodrigo will come straight in, when fit.
Hows the head OLOF, did you drink some proper Guinness last night.
Its a form of discrimination.
Anyway I had the last laugh, OLOF was knackered after we walked to the other early house. Even with my little legs.
