Re VAR... Almost exactly 2 years ago we played Rochdale in a 5th round replay at Wembley...it was my first experience of VAR at a live game and most know what happened re the stupid decisions but yesterday nothing was made of Son's penalty run up yet in the Rochdale game he did exactly the same thing snd it was dissllowed, he was booked and the got a free kick. Love the consistency VAR brings
To be the party pooper, Son’s run-up was fine yesterday as he never actually stopped - he took about 5-6 micro steps but didn’t actually halt his run. Against Rochadale, he paused his run-up before proceeding to strike it and that isn’t allowed. If you watch when Pogba takes his penalties, he does about 15 micro steps too. It’s a tedious rule but Son’s penalty against Rochdale was “rightfully” ruled out according to the letter of the law whilst his penalty yesterday was perfectly fine, if ****ing stupid to watch lol.
Cue for a song..... "You're a Spur, and you know you are...!!!" We sang that when Ginola turned out for Aston Villa after leaving us. When he came on as a sub, the song just went on and on! Brilliant! I think Jan deserves the remix in his honour. If he ever leaves, and we know it's his last game.......
