Jurgen the German
Erik Thorstvedt
Alli should have got one penalty today. The other one was a dive. I just hope he doesn't get banned retrospectively in the future. Can't really complain if he does.
Wow, I didn’t expect even a Spurs fan to actually try and defend that diveI didn't think that was a dive, not a deliberate attempt to con the ref at least. He had stretched to try and reach the ball and the keeper comes barging at him. He didn't really have many options to avoid getting taken out. One of those where you fall over without it having to be a foul or a dive. Hard concept to grasp based on my lurking on some other teams' forums.

It's a no win situation for Dele, keeper prone in front of him, any contact from Dele can be seen as dangerous and maybe even deliberate with Dele reputation, so potential red card.Wow, I didn’t expect even a Spurs fan to actually try and defend that dive
What... you could see Alli getting a red card for taking a foul from the keeper coming out?It's a no win situation for Dele, keeper prone in front of him, any contact from Dele can be seen as dangerous and maybe even deliberate with Dele reputation, so potential red card.
You can impede a player without contact.You know what he should Have done ... got taken out and got the foul
I play 5 a side still and a mate the other week jumped out of the way to avoid being fouled by me (it would have been clear as anything) so we carried on and scored. They complained ... so I had to highlight you don’t get a pen or free kick if an infringement hasn’t happened. It’s not minority report!!!
What made allis worse was the fact the keeper pulled his hand away as the ball went past
Very true. Had Kane buried that one-on-one early, or had we gotten a pen when Davies was fouled, it would have opened the floodgates. But as long as a team is parking the bus and holding out for a result, it's going to be tough to break down. When you see City or Lollerpool rack up those impressive scorelines it's because the go ahead relatively early. Else it's a slog for them too. And it wasn't as much of a slog for us, tbh. We created some unmissable chances. But it felt like a slog, because we weren't scoring.I see a lot of comments of how poor we were today. I didn't think we were that bad except for our finishing (which was abysmal). If a few more of those chances had been converted then we'd be all sitting here tossing the team off.
brick is brick wherever it is shat!
Hooray an other lucky win for a crap team with bad players and clueless manager. Keep it up lads.

I’m gonna have to see this again several more times
Yes, with the angle of the refs sight line in a congested box, goalie feels contact and makes a meal if it knowing it could go against him and be a pen. Then take into account it's Dele and the rep he's getting himself it's not that unlikely in my view.
The rep he has got is in the main for his diving - so the best thing to do is.....not to dive. Ridiculous how you try and make such excuses, as if you would even contemplate such rationale if an opposition player did that. He dived pure and simple, its not some with hunt against Dele he has form for it time and time again and yet again he dived....Yes, with the angle of the refs sight line in a congested box, goalie feels contact and makes a meal if it knowing it could go against him and be a pen.
