Topic: Spurs: fucking useless

[redgriffin73]

This is an utterly bizarre game so far, but it's Spurs so fuck it 

We won't be saying that when the Mancs get Rochdale in the semi!

[Gerry Attrick]

My wife just said she'd rather watch Rochdale than United

Wouldn't we all

Rochdale would twat them

[Gerry Attrick]

Fucking hell, Rochdale hit the post.

[Barneylfc∗]

Spurs are complete gash and costing me Ł114 

[mersey_paradiso]

Fuck !! Hit the post !! So close. This match is amazing ! 

[Barneylfc∗]

Sissocko is annoying

[Dim Glas]

every time a Spurs player feels ANY contact he goes down, then looks up at the referee for a pen, it's fucking laugahble. They'd probably sit there looking at the referee even if the ball was right there to be tapped into an empty net.

[Gerry Attrick]

Proper game of footie this. A couple of teams looking threatening in attack and shit at the back slogging it out in dogshit weather. Excellent

[Dim Glas]

Add Lamela to the list of players with utterly punchable faces.

Indeed. It's just like the 80's all over again. Very refreshing. 

[killer-heels]

Lamela almost shit himself then thinking they were going to VAR for that tackle.

[PhaseOfPlay]

Hmm. You'd think attacking players would try harder to stay up until in the box instead of going down when it's iffy.

I live by the maxim that most players are dumb

Be great to see him sent off for diving , the cheating c*nt.

[Circa1892]

Fuck Spurs. Never seen a side cheat like this. Hilarious that the penalty got blown out from VAR. Hope they get a good few suspensions from here.

Surely the encroachment happening before the stutter means it should be a retake. Can't help but laugh how much of a shambles that first half was haha

Ref on the US coverage said it should been a indirect free kick to the defending team cos it was dissaollowed for the stutter he did.

I am so more confused by it all now.

[Barneylfc∗]

Who have we had diving so far then? Maura, Lamela, and Trippier?

[12C]

Foy is as bad a pundit as he was a ref.
Makes up reasons to back the referee.

The more serious offence takes precedence.

That's what Foy said too. What was given?

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Who’d be worse in a league with VAR, spurs, United or arsenal?

[Golyo]

That's what Foy said too. What was given?

Illegal feinting. Stopping during the runup to take the peno.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

I thought you were allowed to stop in the run up, just not during the striking motion?

[PhaseOfPlay]

Pundits are clueless on the laws of the game.

[Dim Glas]

Lalas said he gave him a yellow for unsporting behaviour for the stuttering / feint  

But Lalas also said that if anyone though VAR would mean less things to debate at half time, they where wrong    Not often I agree with Alaxi Lalas!

[rkgriffin]

Going to be forced to bring Kane on to save them and he will blow his hammy in the cold!!

[Thats So Dimitar]

The more serious offence takes precedence.

How is one of those things deemed more serious than the other?

[Gerry Attrick]

2-1 to Spurs. Llorente was actually useful for once.

[Dim Glas]

and that will likely open the floodgates!

You’re allowed to stutter and feint all you want in the run up, so it’s the wrong decision.

[smicer07]

He's offside.

[Gerry Attrick]

Lamela was fortunate to avoid another yellow there.

Should be off. Nailed on.

[Learpholl]

You are 100% right. It should have been retaken for the encroachment by the attacking team, which was very obvious.

[NGreat]

Why is everyone moaning about VAR? It's helped to get every decision correct so far. A fantastic addition to the game.

They must have decided he'd completed his run up  http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-14---the-penalty-kick

feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker

[FlashGordon]

Haven't seen the penalty but you're not allowed to stop your run. Rule changed a few years ago.

I really hope you’re joking.

Because one has a card and the other doesn't
