Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United

Another reason to dislike modern football, what a disgusting decision

 

Too furious for sentences. Only thing I will say, never never a penalty. And Carroll was clearly shown to be offside. Not that it should matter. Need Bale fit to put away more of these chances.

 

Not interfering, presumably.

 

I totally agree with you - in my opinion every professional player should go on strike until IFAB change the rules back

How many games will he be banned for then?

 

What have they done to the great game....

It seems, their madness is destroying anything they can get their hands on.

 

Who made this rule change? Is it the FA or FIFA?

 

Players who disagree with these stupid rules should get together, intentionally give away 20 penalties a match (10 a side) and miss them all. Start the run up from the goal line and kick them all the wrong way.

 

IFAB - The international football association board

 

Dier gets a nudge as he's jumping which should've been called and Dier's not even facing the right direction. It's turned into a lottery for which handballs get given and which don't. Oh and the freekick was a joke too, never a foul, they ran into eachother. Still, the important thing is that the referees get to feel powerful and important before they go home and have a cry-**** tonight.

**** end to what was a much better performance. We passed the ball much quicker through the middle and didn't rely on the advanced right back all the time. Could have finished better but it wasn't exactly a high bar to feel like some progress was being made and it was important progress imo.

 

Coincidence that the new rules are in effect when match attendance is so ??

 

Fair play to Jose! Coming across well and not giving any sound bites that would be forever played back

 

I feel dirty about getting a point from that, we were ****ing diabolical and the VAR decision was ridiculous.

In our defence though, you should have got much more than 1 goal, so you left yourselves susceptible to that happening.

 

Nuno Santos, according to the BBC. It's probably someone else entirely!

 

From the time Carroll came on he was looking for the pen , is this the way we want to teach our kids to play, a couple of years at RADA would benefit

 

A bunch of old farts who have probably never played elite level football.

 

The IFAB works to ensure that the Laws of the Game remain fair and adapt to important changes in the game. The board acknowledges new technologies which can help to improve the game and make football fairer for all. At the same time, The IFAB believes it is essential to keep the Laws of the Game as simple and non‐intrusive as possible, in line with the true spirit of the game.


They seem to have lost their way.

 

Yeah it was Santos. Pulled Harry away who was saying something but then said something himself which prompted the **** in the yellow to pull out the red.

 

Have we had a penalty in the league at the new ground yet?
