Yeah of course, if we had played well there's no chance that we wouldn't have been sweating on a VAR call in the 96th minute is there...

In der Kicker App stand 2:1 für Tottenham!
Das ist für mich eine Katastrophe!
Es tut mir leid, ich hatte mich sehr gefreut!
You know what that is an absolutely fantastic idea.. if we could get other fans on board and have a silent protest when goals are scored on a match day weekend that would really send a message that VAR is not what the people want. And yes you’re right Sky would start bricking it that their product is being compromised. How can we get this going?
When they were explaining all the technical aspects of the new offside cameras in the UCL I thought it was bullshit.
Tonight they proved it was bullshit.
The reason for the delay IMO was because the VAR ref knew the rules but the "science" was making him wrong.
Yeh , at least he runs at defenders to try to make things happen . He ain’t going to improve sat on the bench. Deserves a run of games
Doesn't mention ball going backwards, took a few relevant quotes, last paragraph would be key as the argument is not deliberately playing the ball.
It is not an offence to be in an offside position.
A player is in an offside position if:
- any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
- any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent.
I make you right.
We could have sent out the kids to France if we had of won and rested the first team for the Liverpool game. Fuck it anyways.
We are better than Sporting when we actually break a sweat and have a go.
Problem is, we rarely seem to do that nowadays.
We had them on the rack for the last 25 minutes, under a lot more sustained pressure than they ever put us under in either of the 2 matches.
Stop triggering me, they missed that penalty and lost me my Acca
just to make tonight even more enjoyable!!!
Im starting to think thats why they ruled that goal out.So we have to go away to a cauldron of a stadium, too a team who can also qualify who have half a team of ex Woolwich
Book your Thursday nights off fella's
“Just think, if we rule this goal out, it could enhance the importance of the game and the competition next week. Yeah do it”.
#conspiracy
Yes VAR has made it worse. How is that even possible????
Before VAR you suspected a lot of ref´s were corrupt handing the big clubs free points and dodgy descisions(Fergie-time etc.). But VAR has cemented the game is corrupt, it´s not even a suspicion any more(at least from me) and they aren´t even ashamed of it!!!
You can't be even if it goes forwards, if you are behind the ball.
You'd think we'll set up ultra negative in that case. More negative than normal and look for counters
I hope we heavily rotate at the weekend
Draw is good enough on points.
Here's the rule according to the laws of the game
"A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent. "
The first goal in this game (1:10) is an example of where a goal was overturned because of this, he plays it just as deliberately as the defender tonight, who lifts his knee up slightly and is clearly trying to block the header.

Goes on head to head first.
A draw will do us as Sporting play Frankfurt. We need to go with the mentality that we have to win though.
Agreed - albeit a final nail in a coffin that has become more nail than wood in recent years.
No, the rule is you can’t be offside if you were behind the ball, doesn’t matter in what direction the ball was played.
^^^^^^
Took the words out of my mouth.
They're just trying to sterilise football to be magnolia and soulless.
