He did get the first two big decision wrong, but I do have sympathy with him with both. The penalty didn't look like a penalty to me on first viewing - it was only on seeing the replay, from a much better angle, that it becomes a clear penalty. And the Dier challenge, I couldn't call it live as to whether he won the ball or not. I was 50-50. Again, I needed a replay.

I think the referee's initial though with the Dier challenge was that it was probably a foul. But when he realised it would have meant a red card, he changed his mind. Had it been someone not already on a yellow, I suspect he would have proceeded to give the foul and yellow card. But to send someone off, you really need to be certain. And I can understand why he wasn't certain there.

Yep.having watched the replays i realise how hard to call for the ref they were. Just highlights the need for more help for the refs
 
Spurs really don't seem to understand the correct method of giving players a rest ahead of a big midweek European game.
 
It's the end of the season, there's nothing to play for, they are up against 9 men, and it's an opportunity to beat a big six team - and yet Bmouth continue with Ake and Lerma shielding a back four. Surely they could have gone for this a bit more?
