I have a question for Spurs fans why do we accept bad decisions against us there seems to be unfair bias against us?
This is a few examples:
Son Heung Min sending off against Bournemouth
Mousse Dembele suspension for the eye gouge against Chelsea when they were never punished for the same.
Ball to hand penalty in the Champions league Final
Pochettino ban because of Mike Dean. (Klopp does this all the time even got away with entering the field of play.
Jamie Redknapp the only player ever to get a yellow card upgraded to a red.

We've always been that way. I'm proud that Poch doesn't complain, or blame the ref or opposition when we lose.

But on the flipside, there does seem to be some level of 'nasty arsehole' that runs through most successful teams.

I want to see a little more gamesmanship from us during a match. I want to see us crowd the ref if something unfair/a bad tackle goes against us. I want to see us slow play down, do whatever it takes if we're winning with 2 minutes to go etc.

We're a little soft in the big games, against the big teams.

Tbf that pen was annoying - the fact he didn't even check it with VAR is a joke, considering the penalty Man City were awarded against us upon review.

I think it can be argued either way as a pen/no pen, but the lack of review was ridiculous - 20 seconds in, he doesn't lose anything double-checking. Most important game in club football, you'd think they'd use VAR at least once?

We should start a partition and demand the match be replayed..... after they’ve remade season 8 of GOT obviously.

Some things are fucking infuriating, but they happen to everyone, not just us.

Football will never be perfect. Quite a few times things have gone our way too, but we tend to forget those, quickly.

And in the end it’s a game and not a murder trial.

Challenging every unfavourable decision would be ****ish. And in the end, if no one accepted the imperfections in the game, the game would become more about the rules than about the football. It’s already going slightly that way with the ridiculous handball and offside complications. Let’s not add to the problem, let’s just get on with the job of getting better at football so that bad decisions don’t cost us so dearly.


And what’s more...Jamie fucking Redknapp? And you forgot Pedro Mendes goal v Manu? If you’re going to delve into history so you can whinge like a baby, at least do it properly!

Be handy if someone actually kept a log of all teams good and bad decisions (IE ones for and against that are incorrectly given)
You could then tell at the end of a season if anyone really got the benefit.
The only gripe I had on Saturday was that it wasn't checked.

And then what?

Anyway, who’s going to decide things like whether it should have been a pen?

It ruined the game though, that’s for sure. I think it’s the rules rather than the decisions that need closer attention.

The only one of these which I think was unjust or shady was Poch’s touchline ban. All the rest, of you take off your Spur-tinted glasses, are correct decisions.

It reminded me of their annual alternate league table, where they win the league every year because they correct all the wrong decisions given against them, while completely ignoring all the ones that go in their favour.

I have never agreed with suggestions of decision/media/ FA etc bias against us. I think we just notice things that happen to us/said about us more keenly.
As for the handball on Saturday, I think the referee was simply told in his earpiece that there was no reason to look at the video in the VAR referees opinion, so he would have taken that as confirmation. If you like a conspiracy, however, the VAR officials were all Dutch ( so probably Ajax fans...... !!!) .

And then look at why it happens. Is there a particular referee, is there behaviours by teams leading to refs making the wrong calls.

All we want is a fair game.
