OMT: Tottenham vs Everton

[Bedfordspurs]

Shows how it happened
And also why VaR is perfection as they didn’t review that

 

[Pirate55]

This season is now officially a write off for me.

Poch still saying he is happy with the performance! He was watching a different game to me.

Davison starting to play well, having been given a few games in a row in his best position.
Despite being written off by 80% of the fan base.
Amazing clue for Poch here as to what can happen if you play players who are keen to do well and give them time on the pitch.

Not rocket science, is it?

 

[SpurMeUp]

Not sure Son's challenge was even a yellow. Free kick/yellow. Never red. What is the point of VAR if there is no objectivity?

Did he play well? Nearly let Everton in a couple of times because he was napping

So the VAR did check the red card and the explanation is that "given the outcome", it was clear that Son had endangered the safety of an opponent and therefore a red card was appropriate.
So cards are indeed based on severity of injury rather than the foul itself? Is there a law of the game to back that up?

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

Just bizarre.
All of it.
Atkinson cannot do what he did. I think Son would’ve been subbed and if we’d been sharp, and seen him distraught like that, we’d have subbed him immediately as is our right. With 11 men we see that out.

I don’t think you can sub whilst the game is in that situation. The ref would complete the disciplinary “phase” as it were before any sub could be made.

Here's a replay of the Son challenge. Clearly not a red card, in my opinion. Hard to tell exactly what happens, but it's a ridiculous red card, regardless of the injury it caused.

You can see Gomes's leg dangling a bit at the end there, so don't watch it if you can't handle that stuff.

This would back that up :

Sky have just confirmed he got his leg caught in ground pre Aurier. Amazing how many people want to say it was caused by contact with Aurier with absolutely no evidence.

As with the same predictable defense, lets play a game, 3 questions

- Why start Eriksen?
- Why take N'dombele off first?
- Why wait till 101 minutes to take off Eriksen and use last sub?

If you can answer those, perhaps I can understand why "it no longer matters how bad we are, Poch needs a chance"

People are now defending the indefensable.

Agreed , said it earlier in thread a total write off all is not well .

It is a clear mistake by VAR and the ref. Appalling.

I think Steff means if he hadn’t bean red carded. His emotions re: the red means he would have been subbed.

I don't have much problem with the red. The challenge in itself might not have been a red but Son was clearly going to foul him because of the elbow. It was indisciplined, it was careless/reckless and it was deliberate. He should feel fudging terrible about it, he was completely at fault in my book.

 

[glasgowspur]

So if its endangering a player what about gomez swinging an arm at a players head?
This is a total cop out to protect a ref.
Disgusting.

 

[Benny_Lad]

VAR said didn’t need to look at red card as it was given for endangering an opponent. Are they making it up as they go along?

I think he got a yellow first, right?

Sky have confirmed his leg buckled in the ground.

Which was altered to a straight red. Had it been a yellow he would have been subbed imo.

You're correct there's no law of the game that says this.

What's concerning is PL refs have set a precedent that they have their own rules for handball (different to the rest of the world). So what's stopping them from making up whatever rules they want...
