GWT: EPL - Matchweek 11

It's studs to the middle of the shin with a straight leg

He clears the ball first. This game is dumb and VAR's constant interruptions are ruining a good game.

Yes I get that but he's also clearing the ball, it's hard to stop your foot right after you hit the ball. The red I can see but not the penalty.

 

[gary69]

Eventful first half an hour, keep it coming.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

At least we scored, even though it took ten f***ing minutes.

Caicedos goal was a good goal

 

[GabeTravels]

Would've loved to see an angle from behind the net, but at first glance that's not interfering.

The penalty and red is probably right, even as a Spurs fan.

 

[koyvoo]

This show is a lot of fun

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Eric Dier welp.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

You scored a penalty and have been dominated up until now, cool it with the shushing.

 

[maclean]

Wow, so nearly saved

 

[HoseEmDown]

How can you give a red for a foul in the penalty area but not give a pen?

Because it was on a follow through. Romero won the ball so Fernandez wasn't impeded from scoring. The follow through was hard enough for the red.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

That's a copy cat of Curtis Jones red card. It does not mater if you touch the ball it's what follow through. At least they are being consistent (kind of) with it

 

[Venkman]

Udogie should be off, Sterling saved him.

Deserved red for Romero, one of the dumbest players I've ever seen.

 

[gary69]

Another disallowed goal. What's te record in one half?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

lmaoooooooooo

Udogie was also clearing and winning the ball but no one complains about his card because it's very obviously at least reckless and potentially endangering the safety of the opponent.

Because it was on a follow through. Romero won the ball so Fernandez wasn't impeded from scoring. The follow through was hard enough for the red.

It's a direct free kick foul so it's automatically a pen since it happened in the box. Even in an absurd situation where the ball is on the other end of the pitch, if you Zidane'd someone in the box, it's a pen as well as a red purely because of where it happened.

 

[cgf]

This league is hitting new heights of dysfunction

I was going to ask if this was typical

 

[Evilo]

Another disallowed goal. What's te record in one half?

I don't know if it's the record, but they had 3 in the first 30 minutes of the Monaco/Brest game yesterday. Crazy too.
Two were inches offside, one was called off for a very arguable foul. Brest felt robbed.

Why not an indirect free kick?

 

[JoVel]

VAR sucks so much. I don't care about getting every call 100% right to the point where the entertainment product is this much worse. I miss the days when you could celebrate when your favorite team scored a goal, instead of having to wait 10 seconds minimum to make sure there's no VAR checks.

 

[cgf]

The biggest mistake the refs have made so far was not giving Udogie a red...

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Becoming so.

 

[cgf]

At least we scored, even though it took ten f***ing minutes.

Caicedos goal was a good goal

I get that one. If you're offsides and in the goalie's line of sight, you are impacting the play. The BuLi calls those too.

 

[luiginb]

If Maddison's knee is done there so is Spurs' season.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

f*** f*** f*** f***

 

[JeffreyLFC]

What is the issue with VAR here? I am just curious what people feel was done wrong?
