OMT Tottenham vs Sheffield United

Did it even hit his arm?

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

VAR has made referees even more central to the game when you don’t even notice the best refs.

 

[Baleforce]

The offside?

Maybe I’m getting confused, I remember an innocuous brush of the hand

 

[AdamB]

Performance has been pretty decent despite the scoreline. Need another 45 min performance like this

 

[thfcsteff]

Better last 15 minutes.

 

[Baleforce]

We should be with the squad we have. Had we a second passer on the pitch we'd be ahead.

all of our players should be able to pass though too

I think we need 45 like that last 15. With a sub or two.

When I was a ref, every 50-50 decision should go in favour of the attacking team. VAR seems to be the complete opposite, and to disallow as many goals as possible.

No, but doesn’t stop the commentary team pretending it did.

 

[Benny_Lad]

The commentators are useless. Still saying it’s the rules. Haven’t even mentioned that it might not have hit his arm so how was it chalked off....

Now saying we could have got a free kick - which we couldn’t.

 

[Baleforce]

It's not VAR that's the issue, it's the handball rule and the fudging idiots making up stupid rules

its because of all the tinkling and morning that used to happen when a goal was scored after accidental ball to hand

and referees not knowing what the word intentional means

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

Football is brick now isn’t it? I never celebrate a goal, you never know when there’s some bollox handball or offside in the build up. Instead of feeling joy at a goal I feel anxiety it will be chalked off.

 

[thfcsteff]

I don't disagree. Still, in the spirit of optimism, better last 15 and more of that please.

Every time I think VAR has reached its low it manages to plumb new depths

 

[Diamond Lights]

It's not VAR that's the issue, it's the handball rule and the fudging idiots making up stupid rules

But it still is VAR, they implemented a system in a rush without thought the rules of the game. The handball rule needs changing of course but because of VAR being implemented it puts a light on the rule, it's still VAR. they implemented a system without User Acceptance Testing - can't just chuck something into a Production environment without testing

 

[DeanoAustin]

We’ve been okay I think and I fully expect us to come back and win. They’ve had one chance with some good play and bad defending from us.

Back 4 have been good, GLC a bit disappointing and the front 4 have threatened to fire at various points. Lucas has looked particularly lively. Sissoko has been okay but awful on the ball.

We’re the better side here. We will win.

That absolutely disgusts me

NBC don’t have the same anti Spurs bias thankfully

 

[Yiddo]

Wasn't VAR introduced because Ref's were incompetent? So someones smart idea was to put a ref in charge of VAR.

It’s awful now, no one celebrates unless it’s almost 100% certain it’s goal. It can’t continue like this.
