once the law is made, its not VAR’s fault or the refs fault. it has to be enforced.

as much as we shout at the ref, once he’s seen the replay he has to give the pen as the rules are very clear. if he didn’t, he’d be in trouble.

So why didn't he give us a pen the three times it his their defenders' hands in their box?

What an absolute joke. Pretty sure there was at least one instance early in the game where we should have been awarded a free kick for hand ball and didnt get it.

I enjoyed the rest of the match before that decision though. Boys played well.

1st . It wasnt a freekick in the first place.
2nd. FFS Dier is facing backwards to the ball.
3rd. Why wasnt Newcastle handball being checked.

Sorry. This is no longer the best league in the world now. It's a huge farce.

English VAR/Handball League.

4th. A Newcastle player's head and arm were offside (VAR going by the armpit makes no sense, even if it's the rule, as that player was trying to attack the ball with his head not his armpit/chest/leg/foot/arse)

Have to be ruthless when you are on top we messed about and did not kill the game.. Only ourselves to blame kinda typical of Spurs and to be honest I expected it..

So shit teams like Newcastle will now practice kicking and heading the ball at the hand in training

This is where the game has gone.

Carroll spend most of his time on the pitch appealing for handballs... and it worked! The future of football looks great

The NBC commentators are disgusted. They said the EPL should apologize to Spurs fans.

Caroll should get a pen every week now. Hope every player abuses the rule and make a mockery of it. Don’t even have to shoot at goal anymore

What about the ndombele incident for handball that they didn’t even check? Journos saying we should have had a handball too.

Done with football though while the rules are like this. It’s farcical

Next game we should just start aiming for players hands in the box instead of the goal

I actually don't think this is a joke. It's what will actually end up happening and when it becomes more and more obvious there will be no shots at goal anymore and it will literally ruin the game.

An absolutely disastrous 2 points lost. 4 points out of 9 against Everton, Southampton, and Newcastle with a ton of difficult fixtures to come is setting Mourinho up for big problems come Christmas. He needs to be playing his best players every league match. No more rotation after today.

How the fuck can he only play for a another minute when they wasted four fucking minutes on VAR.
There is no point anymore it's a fucking lottery.
How the fuck was our call not given handball?
VAR is to blame because without that this shit would never have happened. VAR has done nothing for the game absolutely fuck all.

It's not VAR itself, it's the fucking clowns making the judgement calls!

Worst decision i've ever seen

Click to expand...

You’ve clearly forgotten Moura’s handball at Sheffield United last season.

The game is broken. I’ve never heard a FIFA official come out and actually justify this change. It’s ruining the game. It’s not even a clear and obvious error.

We got what we didn’t deserve unfortunately through poor finishing and a baffling half time sub

Click to expand...

We have three fixtures in 5 days and we need to rest Kane. Sonny is our only other option at striker at the moment. The sub had to happen to give Sonny a break.
