Only Spurs fans as in the top six would not be complaining that their team did not put Newcastle away.. First half performance was much improved.. Not sure why Son was take off..

It's so frustrating to already be 5 points off the pace when it shouldn't be any more than 3 for no damn good reason other than a ref was incompetent. Trying to compete with the likes of Pool and Shitty is already an uphill struggle after 3 games.

Call it Corrupt call it unconscious bias, whatever way you want to call it, it happens.
Say that penalty was missed, Whats the betting that Lloris would be checked to make sure he was on his line.
We can analyse VAR until we are blue in the face, surrounding Dier, but forget the other factors and not reviewing them. Not a free-kick in the first place and Lacelles being offside interfering with play.

Have a look at our fixture list and the schedule which might tell you why, it's game management and it was working absolutely fine up until the absolute farce in the end.
Also Sonny done his hammy apparently.

Penalty aside, how many times have I watched this exact same match in the last five years? Team comes down with zero ambition, we batter them, but keeper makes some good saves, we don’t create enough unsavable situations, we tire, slack off and they chance their arm at the end with nothing to lose and score from a set piece to win/draw.
Time and again.
Time and again.

Souness thinks it's fine. More goals equals more entertainment. And them's the rules... ???

Put things in perspective. C4 have an F1 'highlights' program that is 3 hours long! We are definitely not being taken for idiots.

Vardy has scored 4 penalties this season. That's a joke. If you put a tenner on ever game getting a penalty (individually not as an ACCA) at bet365's 2/1 odds you would be up £20 so far this weekend.

That’s why Lee Mason sat behind a screen as VAR official is also the problem. Have a VAR official, plus 2 ex-footballers (Defender & Attacker). Christ I’d be happier for Neville to be there doing it.

Anyone know blokes that had to have their arms amputated and gave up on their sporting aspirations let them know their chance has come

I’m not sure I’d want Paul Merson and Tony Gale sat behind a VAR screen.
I’m front of a tank barrel, yes. Football decision making, no.

Most annoying thing is that this won’t be an isolated incident. This is the rule now and there’s a massive chance of multiple other nonsense pens being given over coming months.

The fact that the 'free kick' that led to the penalty claim wasn't even a foul from Hoijberg (but more of a spear tackle from the Newcastle player) in the first place just compounds the level of corruption/incompetence from the referee and the game's rule makers.
Add in our 3 handball penalty claims (all of the same calibre as Dier's 'infringement'), and you're almost left with the conclusion that the ref decides who is allowed to win the game or not, and the only way to avoid such an outcome is to score 5 goals (like we did last week) just to take the lottery aspect out of the equation.
Fucking raging with the way the game is now officiated.

After all of this you have to consider the fact that some fucking useless numpty suggested these rule changes in a board meeting once, and not one person stood up and said "well what happens if it's a complete accident?".
If my company was this incompetent in the field we're supposed to be specialists in, we'd get the fuck sued out of us.

It’s about time the media called out the refs after the game to explain this bullshit. Shame all they do is pander to that no mark fuckwit Walton who’d agree with anything even if the goal was scored by ET driving a panzer tank. If I was Jose I’d send them out next game wrapped head to toe in sellotape so they can barely move, make some headlines ffs to stop this ridiculous nonsense.

This. People don't realise that because of our inane schedule we have to manage games differently. Aside from the penalty I don't think they had a shot on target? We were as comfortable as you could be 1-0 up. They weren't attacking us really, so we could slow down a bit. But even then we still created.

when I coached youth soccer (9 and 10 year olds) I used to drill them over and over on crossing and would have two lines and tell a kid in each line to run to their post no matter what. Did this drill at least 10 minutes every practice and in game warm ups. And of course in the game the kid would almost never finish his run and the cross would just. glide on by. I finally realized if a. professional cant be counted on to finish his run and attack a cross I shouldnt expect it of kids.
