Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
makes me livid, we get that utter bullshit one given against Doherty, luckily it mean't little in the context of the game and both Woolwich and Chelsea have clear handballs totally ignored.
You can't tell me its not all bought and paid for now, they aren't even trying to hide it now. Just mugging the fans off openly.
They changed the rules for handball now it has to directly lead to a goal.
However how much more direct it could be I dont know he laid it off for the bloke to shoot with his hand.
Fucking joke

Giroud admits he was so keen to quit Chelsea that he almost joined Spurs
FORMER Woolwich favourite Olivier Giroud has admitted that he was so desperate to leave Chelsea in January that he nearly joined Tottenham. The Frenchman went more than two months without even featu…

Giroud, 33, admitted to So Foot: "During the last three days of the transfer window, I was in the coach's office to find a solution.
"I was hoping Chelsea would find a replacement for me.
For my part, it was not the solutions that were lacking. I almost signed for Lazio, Inter.
"I was even so determined to leave that I even almost signed for Tottenham."
Or the one last season vs Sheffield - when Moura
was fouled and had the ball kicked against him
Corrupt ref CUNTS!
Don't think they'll be ahead that much in many matches anyway to be honest
How can they change that rule but introduce a rule that if a ball strikes a defender even accidently off a deflection coming at 100mph from a yard away is awarded as a penalty??
Whoever makes these rules needs fucking shooting, utter utter cuntbags.
Ruining the game
That's a joke :mourfacepalm:
Yeah last season it was a mess in the attacking sense now it's a mess for defenders. Agree mate it's a joke but the tits running the game are morons but we all knew this
What I don't understand is why VAR is used to disallow goals if there was a foul that occurred somewhere in the "build up" to a goal but not in this case where it's a clear handball in the build up? What's the difference between a foul occurring in the build up and a handball occurring in the build up?
There may be a law about it but if there's a distinction in the law for it I don't get why there would be.

BBC ... "Chelsea complete stunning fightback"

I assume it's still the same area of the arm. Dunno how they measure it exactly though tbh.
They changed the handball rule from last season after the Moura incident. Now only handball like the Ings one from the other week will be called handball by an attacking player. Although to me the Havertz handball looked closer to the Ings one than the Moura one.
However, they fucked up the handball rule for defending teams. I still don't understand how they gave handball to Doherty one. Double deflection and the player was literally only half a yard away. That can only mean they're calling handball whenever the ball hits the hand (below the sleeves) of a defender. So by that logic, if a defender did the same thing Havertz did, he'd be penalised and a penalty would be given. That is ridiculously unfair for defenders.

They didn't even fucking win the match.BBC ... "Chelsea complete stunning fightback"

I don't see why they have to keep changing the rules every season, it's just confusing and makes the whole thing look bent as fuck
Reknapp on Silva:
"It's one of those debuts.
I stand by it, I think he's gonna be a great signing for the club."

The Peter Crouch Paddy Power advert mugging off the Emirates is funny as fuck though
