I thought Bergwijn played a very strange game today, seemed disinterested and detached.

What's pissing me off the most is that anyone can see that the reason Dier needs to use his arms to balance himself is because Lascelles pushed him in the back, but because non-penalty fouls are not reviewable and the ref didn't blow for a foul on the push while play was live, that specific aspect of the play becomes unreviewable by VAR. The ref can't say that a foul precipitated the handball and therefore it's a free kick to Spurs, because he's prohibited from so much as acknowledging the existence of anything that happened prior to the potential penalty incident.
That is a massive fucking oversight which creates an incentive to cynically foul in the box such that the defenders' reflexes will be to raise their arms. If the ref doens't blow the whistle live and the play results in an incidental handball, your team is gifted a goal. It's a complete fucking joke.

I see that your nick is a few letters short of the morningstar that someone obviously hit you in the head with. Or you´re just a troll. This is most likely the most moronic comment I have ever read about anything remotely realted to football.
The situation as it played out:
Joelinton is running forward with the ball. He passes the ball. He then continues forward and pleaps/jumps into PEH who is standing still several yards ahead of him at the time of the pass. Newcastle loses tha ball a few seconds later, and the referee gives a freekick. If there ever was a freekick in that situation (and there never was!), it should have been against Joelinton.
You, good sir, is the one whose actions are "Completely unnecessary and dumb". If your comment is the measure of the state of human kind, we´re all fucked and there is nothing any Lord can do to help us.

The thing is, we definitely have the likes of Paul Mersons/Tony Gayles and traits disguised as Refs. We just don’t know their backgrounds or hear their opinions out loud to know.
I could become a ref tomorrow and make my way up the leagues etc. Yeah I may not be allowed to ref a Spurs game, due to me being a supporter, but doesn’t mean I’d be prevented from referring a Leicester game where my natural unconscious bias would kick in due to my dislike of them as a club.

It actually makes me laugh watching this. He turns his body to see where the ball has been passed to and gets poleaxed.

The whole situation is just so fucked up. Piss poor officiating.

The thing that made the handball look worse, was he was being given the handball in a freeze frame and in slow motion. This is where the lack of football knowledge or playing the game comes. Not once did he look at it in real time, for the ref to have a proper understanding of the quickness of the situation, and that Dier had no clue where he or the ball was, and probably didn’t even know the ball hit his arm.
Instead you get an image that’s frozen, and blown up infront of your eyes with no other context of the situation.

Steve Bruce 100% correct: "we´ve lost the plot with it", "it´s ridiculus".
'We've lost the plot' - Bruce on handball and VAR
Steve Bruce says the current handball rule is "wrong" despite his side being awarded an injury-time penalty against Tottenham, which allowed the Magpies to claim a 1-1 draw.

I didn't get that impression at all.
If this comment was posted by a Newcastle fan on a Newcastle fan forum, it wouldn’t be out of place (replace the ‘Newcastle side’ with ‘spurs side’)

Between the lockdown and VAR, this could be a sliding doors moment for the PL going forward. Fans are already getting used to not having going to games as their be all and end all, and VAR is sucking the life out of games
Sounds like hyperbole, but I honestly think we could look back in 5-10 years as this point in time being when the PL bubble burst

A Complete clusterfuck.
1. It was not a free kick
2. They got the offside decision wrong. His head and chest were offside. Crazy.
3. Dier was fouled.
4. It's a stupid fucking rule and they are all a bunch of douche bags.
