Totally agree. I've always suspected that there was some form of corruption going on, but after today I'm absolutely convinced there is now.

The top clubs are what's making the money for the league so it would be in their best interests to keep them on top.

We should have scored enough goals to win. Erroneous decisions happen and that's part of the team to have the whereabouts to take that possibility into account and score that second goal.

This is probably just the start, there’ll be another stupid rule change in the next year or two.
Having a whole panel dedicated to football rule changes it’s just going to breed more and more tweaks and changes, they aren’t going to sit and do nothing and do themselves out of a job

First thing I said to my mates who didn't appreciate it was that a ref wouldn't have the fucking balls to give that decision against United or Liverpool.

The whole problem is that the refs are shit.
VAR is not the problem, it's just highlighted how shit the refs are.

All very well, but if you keep accepting these penalty decisions when they go your way, then you can't be completely against it.

The biggest thing I’ve learnt since going to Spurs more over the last three years is that the people inside the stadium who start any argument with “I’ve been a season ticket holder for x amount of years, and...” generally talk an absolute load of bollocks.

People can wtf me as much as you want, but do it after reading the laws of the game.
I don't want to copy the image in there in case there is some copyright issue for the forum, but you'll see what I mean by the upper part of the arm not counting towards handball.
And they have given that leeway as long as the arm is next to the body and not out.
But if arm is away from the body, then ricochets, accidental, ball to hand, hitting from behind are totally irrelevant, it is a penalty now.
Per the laws it is a penalty (and has been given on the continent in recent years)

I never said we were responsible for the decision, and I think you're going a bit far to suggest that factoring in the possibility of a bad decision into a game plan is "the very essence of nonsense".
Two things can be true at the same time : 1. We deserved to win and were robbed by a poor decision and 2. If we had put the game to bed then that bad decision wouldn't have cost us. It doesn't mean we deserve to lose, or that the result is our fault. But if you want to win, you have to reduce the likelihood of being screwed by a shit decision. That is actually the very opposite of nonsense.

If the result had gone the other way and we’d secured an away point this way. Would we be laughing and making up a song about VAR ?
bet we wouldnt give a monkeys. Yes it’s a shocker but it is the rules.

If someone could edit together the Newcastle hand balls, the actual challenge that lead to the free-kick, the VAR offside check and the final decision it would be the most systematic raping of a football club ever recorded in 30 seconds of football.
