Nobody's saying anything of the sort, but I think that we're entitled to criticise a **** ref after a ridiculous loss, don't you? I'm sure that you'd do the same. I'm sure that you did last season, despite being aided by Foy on that occasion, too.
That's the thing, you seem to think all the Stoke fans on here are saying "We weren't lucky, it was a thoroughly deserved win and the referee got everything right". We're not saying that at all, the referee made two mistakes IMO (not seeing Shawcross' handball and not booking Modric for diving), but the person you need to lay the blame on in the linesman - I've not seen a more rediculous offside decision, and only he could've seen Crouch's handball and Shawcross' foul on Kaboul IMO - Foy had too many bodies to peer through. Yes, we got very lucky and yes we are quite direct, but I doubt you were all moaning last week when Cahill was sent off for barely a yellow card tackle, and also the other week when you got lucky at Fulham. Wouldn't you say it evens out over a season?
How were we aided by Foy last season? He failed to spot a foul on Gomes, then he failed to spot the ball two feet over the line. Wouldn't you say, in that sequence, the decisions evened themselves out?
No. Not even close. Cahill's tackle was a clear yellow, not a red and not 'barely a yellow' by any means, but it probably didn't change the result. They were badly under the cosh from the first minute and it was hard to see any way back for them, though the dismissal really did finish them off. The luck we had at Fulham was evened out at Fulham. Sidwell elbowed Parker in the face in the first half and then took him out in the box in the second. That seems to have been forgotten though, for some reason. Foy was poor on the major decisions, but he was also poor on the minor ones. The two goal kicks that should've been corners were just laughably bad, for example.
Wow, it seems like Spurs are really hard done to every single week. Funny, because one of my best mates is a Surs fan and he watches every game either live, on stream or on TV and he's moaned about referees once all season (and that was in a text to me last night). I remember the two goal-kicks that should've been corners, I was extremely relieved he didn't see them because you really made the other 12 corners you had count, didn't you?
Where did I say anything about being hard done by every week? I admitted that Cahill shouldn't have been sent off and said that refereeing decisions evened themselves out at Fulham. The number of corners we had was irrelevant. It was an example of Foy making lots of mistakes, which is why is said 'for example'.
Can you hear yourself? Refs should be bending over backwards for you??? Oh dear oh dear. And never know the feeling??? What bubble do you live in??? We were subject to one of the most high profile ref **** ups in history against Barca in a C.L semi final in 2008. No second chances in a knock out, least you have the rest of the season to recover. Use it to galvanise the squad or chalk it off as one of those days but don't pretend 3 points dropped is the end of the world when we're not even at xmas yet. FFS.
It will be interesting to see what difference these 3 points mean to Spurs come the end of season, obviously they will mean nothing to Stoke just the difference between 10th or 11th probably. Either way, Chris Foylum will not be forgot by Spurs fans, he is even above Webb, Wiley and Clatenburg for incompetence now.
They obviously mean nothing to us, but they would have meant a whole lot more to you, still think we can get 6th!
No that **** hates everyone on our board who does not like Ric Fuller, he is living in the past & calling an average player a legend, he is either Ric Fuller himself or one of his offspring. The guy is the most deluded Stokie on this site.
He states he is a football fan ( but only likes freeflowing attacking football), What an absolute tosser
It's obvious you don't give a **** about playing decent football, so carry on lapping up your anti-football rubbish.
