just get rid of VAR. its total bullshit and is never about getting decisions right. How do they not intervene in one instance but do in another.
They get involved in an offside decision that is not clear and obvious unless you replay it dozens of times, freeze frame it and draw lines that aren't straight. However the foster drop is a clear and obvious keeper mistake yet VAR do NOT get involved there.

I read it ..what you're saying is incorrect.
It did when we had the ball (when the oppo did; less so).
Except the line drawn for the Soton player was in the middle of the foot and in all likelihood the Soton player's shoulder/arm/whatever is further back than his foot is which means it should have been drawn there.
Additionally, apparently IFAB changed the rules for 2021/22 and said the bottom of the armpit is where lines should be drawn when a player is leaning like that (last year it was the end of the sleeve, but that's changed) and so Harry would have been clealry on.
I presume that’ll be FansOnly ConteCam?
I know you're trying to be 'different' and go against the grain as you usually do but they clearly drew the lines wrong.
The red line goes through Kanes arm...not his shoulder. Clear fuck up.
That’s the problem there is no consistency, VAR should be a last resort, it should only intervene if there is a clear error or if the ref wants to check something. Offside was always about preventing goal hanging, That’s why there was always benefit of doubt for attackers, this his finger was offside is bollocks.
I mean we don’t even know if Kane was technically offside or not because of the camera angles, that is not the principle of offside.
Just because Conte is our manager doesn’t excuse our pathetic performance today
It was clearly onside. It looked onside seeing it in real time, and the replays confirmed it.
Everyone can see that except the idiot who makes the call
They seem to be giving his arm offside!?!,
What the hell has an arm got to do with giving a footballer an advantage
I did watch it, just really didn't think much of him. That disallowed goal wasn't a real attempt, he turned his back and didn't even try to head the ball - it was a keeper error that it went in. But he did try to get involved, I'll give him that.
I just googled 'matt doherty goals', because I honestly can't think of one and only one assist that was low-chance and all Kane's brilliance. TLDR; It's miserable reading.
Pretty sure that Lucas chance was one of his 'I better try to do something or they'll figure me out' moments. He's having a laugh!
Seriously, though, he's not good enough. Not even close.
EDIT: I will be happy to go full-Sissoko and recant all my allegations for half a season if he comes good at any point.
tbf even Keys and Gray are missing the point.
Had he ran the line through Kane's armpit like they are saying he would have been miles on. The massive problem is Martin Atkinson decided to run the red line through Kanes arm and miss his shoulder completely DESPITE our away kit highlighting where the shoulder is.
It just makes a mockery of the game. Hardly any point in celebrating a goal these days.

One of the worst things to happen to football.

With Berg out and Gio barely 'back' an option is worthwhile even if they're not a preferred option.
Quite clear though after the last 4 games, that despite some wanking themselves silly over his assists against the dippers; that Conte sees a bigger picture based on performances, rather than moments...... A picture that doesn't have TN in it (He's played 11 minutes of a possible 270 since getting the hook despite a bunch of rotation).
That spontaneous feeling when a goal goes in just ain’t the same anymore cos your expecting some clown to over- rule it. That’s the moments you live for!
And I don't swallow that fucking drawed lines, Kane was at least one foot behind their player and if you see the position of his body, no way his armpit was one foot ahead of his foot.
We were fcking robbed today
I trust in Conte selection than any thoughts of yours. To criticise a manager that has dragged a team off the floor, with no new players, and then 7 games unbeaten, is disgraceful.
