Unfortunately Poch’s post match blast at Dean seems to have rallied the refs union against us rather than giving us fairer officiating. I suspect a lot of others look up to him as he’s the template for making matches all about him and a route to minor celebrity.
Actually I was thinking the opposite and that the last two games has seen Referee's being far too lenient, in order to keep the game flowing.

Utter nonsense
I will just do some recent games for you, and the rest of the rose tinted brigade. Here are some big mistakes in 5 of his last 7 starts that I can remember off the top of my head.

Arsenal - Gave away a goal by somehow heading a ball in the complete opposite direction he was facing. Gave away a cheap pen with Aubamayang going absolutely nowhere

Leicester - Him and Sanchez were totally devoid of any organisation as Leicester spurned 4-5 of gilt edged chances getting in down their side.

Watford. - Absolutely bullied by Cathcart for the Watford goal

Palace - Schlup went past him like a traffic cone and assisted Wickham.

Fulham - Sucked into a ball he couldn't win and bullied by Babel in the opening mins rescued by Lloris.

We've conceded 30 already in the league, so we will conceded more than the 36 we did last year. Before we had Sanchez we conceded 26. Would Klopp "Rest" Van Dyke? You have to play your best defenders. Sanchez can't lace Toby or Jan's boots.

The 2nd 'mistake' in the NLD wasn't a pen, Aubamayeng dived so not sure you can count that, although he did mess up for the first.

Also some of these examples are pretty weak, if I recall the Watford and Palace ones you can't really pin any blame on him for them, LLoris should have come for the ball in the former and the latter was beaten in a 50/50, it happens. Not sure on the others but I will say that when we conceded 26 in the league in 2016/17, that was largely attributed to our entire team, our defence that year was excellent especially since we had Dembele and Wanyama protecting it and we were pressing more.

Sanchez is not the reason we conceded more goals. We lost our defensive protection and Walker/Rose who could cover for any spaces behind. We've still conceded plenty when Toby and Jan partnered each other.

All this crap from Goonners on social media about Vertonghen being in the box when the penalty was taken, if you watch the video which shows Rose celebrating after the save you will see Jan rsn as he took it but as he slowed down to mske Lloris move, Jan carried on, so I see no issue with that if penalty takers hover when they get near the ball, I’m loving the bitterness of the scum these days

It was 100% a penalty. If it was Kane you would have cried for a week had he not give it. Take the glasses off. Sanchez dangled a leg. It was naive, regardless of how heavy the contact. If he stands up, there is no where to go. He gives the option to go down and any good forward is going to take it.

I 100% can pin the blame for them goals, because I have eyes. He was bullied twice.

I do agree for sure that we miss having a better midfield.

I agree with those facts. Just as I can see the fact that him and Trippier make more glaring individual errors than I have seen from any Tottenham defender for years.

You are literally the only person in the country who believes that.

The commentators during the game said it wasn't a penalty. The pundits in the studio said it wasn't a penalty. The guys in the MOTD studio said it wasn't a penalty. Even salty **** goons are saying it wasn't a penalty.
