As far as SC is concerned, this has really sorted the wheat from the chaff. Some of you lot, wouldn’t even want to stand in the same pub as you while watching a game.
Agreed. I can’t believe what I’m reading in this thread. Some of these posters don’t even deserve an on loan Andy Booth, let alone Harry,As far as SC is concerned, this has really sorted the wheat from the chaff.

If people are genuinely that outraged by our best player in decades being a touch hyperbolic in his endeavours to claim a goal, then I give up. Outrage over something this trivial? When did our fan base become such a bunch of fannies?
So, to summarise, this situation is stopping Kane from being ready for the City game, and there is now a dent in the relationship between Kane and Eriksen, with the latter's mood being affected by this situation.Spot on. An embarrassing shit show for Kane, for the club, and for Eriksen.
I don’t care whether Harry “thinks he got the ball”. Rather than asking the Premier League, why doesn’t he look at the video, see he didn’t get within a foot of the ball, then shut the fuck up and get preparing for the City game?
But no, sod the facts, let’s start an unwinnable argument, piss off a key team mate in the process and give every other club in the league ammunition to rip the piss out of us.
To use another fashionable term these days but could people be anymore 'triggered' over something so funny?
Crap on a cracker.
So did he actually get the goal or not

The embarrassment is the desperation he / the club have gone on this.
The goal was already reviewed once and Eriksen still got it. That should be the end. Goals like that aren't uncommon where you can't tell if the ball shaves a player on the way in.
Eriksen and others have played Harry in when they could have taken glory. He should have taken it on the chin. Its barely a legitimate goal to claim. What next? The ball flicked his jersey?
Harry is a wonderful player,a good guy but he got his PR all wrong just for the sake of one barely legitimate goal. What happens if he decides to shoot and misses instead of rolling it to a team mate for a tap in? And we don't win the game. His motives are going to be panned.
I can to an extent understand the reaction from rival fans but when he's getting heat from his own fans trying to paint him as some super villian is really actually fucking pathetic.
Has it occurred that, successfully or otherwise, giving backing to our best player in three decades when he’s chasing a personal accolade might garner that extra bit of loyalty when he’s being offered mass riches by clubs for whom he’ll be their latest shiny trinket?
I love this post, especially the bold parts. Outstanding work.I don’t understand how people can complain that it’s “cringe” and “small-time”, but also be desperate for Salah to win it. Either it matters or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, then who cares? If it does matter, then why shouldn’t he claim it if he scored?
Football fans on the internet are absolutely obsessed with this bullshit “playing it cool” posturing. As if they have too much dignity to take pleasure in anything less than winning the champions league. Any acheivement of another team must be caveated. People go on about how it’s “just the league cup” or how someone is “celebrating a draw like they won the title”. It’s so depressing and joyless; why do people devote their lives to telling people on bbc sport and twitter that they don’t care about what they’re talking about?
The whole concept of being “small-time” is the saddest of all. Anyone who uses the term “small-time” sounds like an Apprentice contestant who thinks they have found the secret to being a big-shot success and that the secret is being deluded.
Weird how most of this anti-Kane tide is from people on my ignore list. Funny that.
Who gives a shit. Sure the lads have had a chat etc.
