Match Threads Spurs vs Maccabi Haifa - Match Thread - Europa Qualifier

[TheTanguy]

Has certainly been an interesting evening so far... On many levels.

 

[Trix]

Absolutely ridiculous.

People who write the rules for football in 2020:

DOOOBEDOOBEDOOBEDOO DOOBEDOOBEDOOBEDOOO!

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Players are going to get seriously fucked off with this

 

[panoma]

This whole hands/arms = pen simply has to stop.

 

[anydange]

hahahaha!

get kane off please!

 

[DaleMurphy]

lol, neither were handballs absolutely ridiculous

 

[philll]

This referee is pathetic. He gave that because our boys demanded it. He couldn't even see if it hit the guy's arm.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Equally stupid but karma.

 

[felmani26]

It’s gone for us now but same sentiment - absolutely farcical ruling that needs urgent attention from the powers that be!

 

[spursfan1991]

Hamdball rule is just a joke

 

[ilikeost]

At least this fucking moron of a ref is consistently terrible.

 

[Phomesy]

Sorry, turned off at half time. Watching the Liverpool v Goon League Cup game now (and then the QF draw afterwards)

Wait until you see the pen we got?!

I?

 

[sweyid]

Ref is pure shite..

 

[wirE]

Karma!

 

[paulcumpstone]

That is a shocker. Crossing the ball now should be just drilled across the box now as its more likely than creating a chance

 

[viktorviktor]

Would be funny if both teams just go for hitting each others arms rest of the game.

 

[CowInAComa]

smash the ball across the box into opposing players about chest height. jobs a good un 9 times out of 10

 

[Sevens]

Honestly managers should tell their players to kick the ball at defenders arms in the box. Easier to do that and get a pen under these rules than actually score.

Easier than that. Tell them to aim for the body (bigger target) around the mid drift. Instinctively some players will protect themselves and voila, penalty.

 

[spursfan77]

That decision was even worse. The bloke had no chance.
