Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth

Thanks for reminding me

 

Appalling , jose just go please leave n17 I'll even drive you to the airport

 

It's probably a discussion for another time, but I really don't get overhead kicks in the box. Do the same thing outside the box you get penalised for dangerous play, do it in the box and you get lauded for a brilliant goal. The boot was very close to Verts' head, why is that not dangerous? If it hadn't deflected off the arm and rightly been disallowed, it would not have been disallowed for the overhead kick.

 

Just a reminder, we'd be in 7th right now if we gave a **** this evening

And that's what I find more aggravating than anything else: I can't even be bothered to speculate about the result being different if the shove on Kane was penalised, because even if we did get a penalty and score it we'd likely have spent the last half hour parking the bus with a team that has Serge Aurier in it

On the other hand, though, we had twelve minutes of stoppage time, and did we try and change things up in that time? Did we ****, instead we brought on Gedson for Aurier presumably because one of the coaching staff had a bet on

 

I completely agree, never happening though unfortunately.

 

Don't really agree to be honest. You could say that going up for a header is equally as dangerous seeing as you could headbutt someone. I agree overhead's carry a risk but equally the potential of a superb goal means I'd hate to see them penalised.

Bale's in the CL Final is one of the best I've ever seen.

 

Good shout.

 

If anything the risk isn't with where your foot is, but where the ground is

One time I tried an overhead kick and not only did I miss the ball, but had a pretty ugly landing with my shoulders taking the brunt of it

 

This is a penalty, apparently. Two-handed push in the back? Nope. Diving into a defender?

 

The Smith/Davies collision:

Foul by Davies? Not seeing it. What did he do?

 

For anyone that wants to get annoyed.

 

I hate to say it but just give the goons the 3 points to save us the embarrassment. JOSE OUT

 

Yet another tactical disgrace.
Maybe we should be grateful we got a point.

 

No Eriksen, No Dele, and full backs who can`t cross the ball accurately, the result is zero creativity. We have too many average players in the starting XI, confidence is low and half our players look like they are already on the beach. I`ll judge Mourinho next season, not on these games of what amounts to essentially pre season.

As for Michael Oliverpool, I called it earlier, I said he would stick the knife into Mourinho if he got the opportunity, and that is exactly what he did, that was as clear a penalty kick as you will ever see. 2 more points disappear down the big black hole of VAR and nobody can be questioned about it, these referees have free licence to influence games as they see fit while hiding behind an office somewhere. VAR have robbed us of several cast iron penalties this season, so it is nothing new, I can remember several, the one on Kane against Newcastle immediately springs to mind. Contrast those with the kind of penalties we routinely see given to teams that wear a red shirt, and you will see a pattern of clear bias.

 

And VAR saw nothing wrong

 

WOO HOO, we made history!!!

 

9 shots

couldn’t get 1 on target

Jose Out

 

Man Utd take the lead with another penalty!

 

I don't know why people think Bruno Fernandes would be any use for us: we never get penalties, so he'd never score for us

 

I am not watching but I gather the one not given at Bournemouth was more of a foul than the one at Villa - why is no one surprised
