It should not need the monitor and ref check.... VAR should see that clear and call it. No fucking about required.

This is how Spurs I am.
Instead of wallowing in the fact we're 2nd I'm pissed off Newcastle and Spam doesn't have us top by 3.

Even on brighton's forum, the consensus is overwhelming that march fouled peh prior to lamptey's goal so it shouldn't have stood,
Fucking cheating ref cunt.
Fucking cheating ref cunt.
I think he went into meltdown realising that he was so close to it live and didn’t give it and completely lost his head. There can be no other reason for giving that.
I’m actually starting to think that might be worst referring decision in Premier league history
PGMOL is going to release some bullshit and he won't face action. No accountability.
A Bale winning goal, dreams do come true.
More VAR/refereeing bullshit.
3 points, that'll do.

Hopefully the players feel the same.
ha ha.... it's only cos they were on directly after the commentary I was listening to... I didn't tune into them ESPECIALLY!!
I'm back on to Strictly now.... just counting down the minutes till we're (last) on MOTD2!!
100%. If that is not a 'clear and obvious' error for the VAR to see then I don't know what is.
Nothing subjective about it. The ref on the pitch might have made a genuine error, VAR should step in and say quite simply, nope, sorry, clear foul disallow goal. Monitor not required at all.
As soon as it went to the monitor and the corrupt cunt kept looking at it, forensically analyzing every frame, I knew he was just looking for an out to save face and justify himself. Disgusting. Should be demoted swiftly.
Still fuming at the injustice of it all.

Nobody would've blinked an eye if March was given a yellow card for it. Ridiculous.

Spurs boss Jose Mourinho on Sky Sports: "First of all it's three points. When teams with more power and history, one of the top six let's say, has a difficult match against the others it is always analysed as the top team not playing well.
"It is time to give credit to these guys. Not just to Brighton, the majority of the teams. They are getting better, they are very well coached, the difference in quality of players between the teams is not huge. The game is very difficult for us, we beat a good team and it was very difficult.
"They had periods when thery were better than us. The good thing for me is that when they equalised we had the reaction.
"Gareth Bale is very stable, very mature, he knows his body better than anyone, we know where we want to go and he's with us on that journey. He doesn't have 90 minutes of Premier League in his legs, the Europa League is helpimg him to get there. Today he came and scored, he is more dynamic than he was against West Ham, more agile.
"I prefer to stay away [from VAR]. Probably the referee should go to the press conference and explain. He had time to go to the screen so only he can explain why it is a goal. He is a good ref and a good guy, only he can explain that decision. My view doesn't matter.
"In 2004 when I came to England there were certain matches that the top teams knew was three points - not any more. Now this is the best league in the world, not just because of the top six, for every team. The Premier League, every one is close. If we drop two points we can be seventh, eighth ninth. The Premier League is beautiful."

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho speaking to BBC MOTD: "I was not surprised because I knew they were a very good team, with a good coach capable of doing what they did. Graham Potter is a very good coach.
"They have lots of good players and they caused us some difficulties. I believe it is more fair to say the teams with less history and stature if you want to say, they are getting better and better.
"It was a great reaction after they equalised, we hit the post twice, score and after that it was a question of managing the game well, like we didn’t against West Ham."
On Brighton’s goal: “I have to try and stay away from this. I don’t know what to say at the moment. My opinion is that I miss my old football, but with goal-line technology because it is obvious that it helps the game."
On Gareth Bale and an inspired substitution: "The players are the ones not me. I know for a couple of weeks that I am telling you that Gary [Bale] is improving.
"I know he doesn't have 90 minutes in his legs and the good thing with him is he is very intelligent, experienced and he understands and we have dialogue to choose what is best for the team.
"In the Premier League today he came and scored a winning goal which is great feeling for the team, him and the fans. We keep fighting and we are in a good position in the table."
