If that IS the case the storm could be easily explained away with a brief post-match statement from the ref........

Absolutely...... You hear moaning about 'advantage' decisions (be that played or not played) all the time....... Yet this time it's deemed one of the worst decisions of the season.
Melt-fodder.
Was Haaland already booked?
In which case he absolutely should have seen a second yellow for dissent.
I don't remember him getting booked and not sure you can give a straight red for dissent?
Dunk got a red for dissent last week. First in 12 years i think
Straight red? or second yellow?
Red . He was on a yellow but got a straight red
EXCLUSIVE: Lewis Dunk was shown a straight RED card for his dissent
EXCLUSIVE BY KIERAN GILL: Brighton 's Lewis Dunk was shown a straight red - not a second yellow - because his language to the referee was personally abusive, Mail Sport understands.
Wow.Red . He was on a yellow but got a straight red

The Haaland was a lucky boy.
jesus mate - how old are you - 12?
pass from half way in our half to half way into their half
not the short range passing with which we try to work the ball since Ange took over
Not many years watching football
Much as the Liverpool thing was grossly overdone, and the replay calls were LOL muddle-headed scouse nonsense, at least they did have a legit goal chopped off. This was just a "chance". Honestly I would be surprised if the best estimate (using whatever relevant data we could muster) put JG's chances of scoring at more than 1 in 5.
Not a good look for Haaland to be so abusive towards referees.
The fact City players were not carded, when they should have been, is more clear cut -- consequentially speaking.
Am I missing something?
Ignoring the fact the ref didn't blow that early, only Haaland ever touched the ball. He can't play a free-kick to himself - moving ball or not.
As always with this stuff, people are looking for complications. He initially played advantage then thought there was none so blew. Spurs players stopped, leaving Grealish seemingly in loads of space and Haaland ugly cried.
Nothing more sinister than that.
Join the queueCan I follow through on Arteta?
Either that or thought the hoof forward was over hit and Grealish wasn't getting there first = no advantage obtained from hoof forward so called play back.
As it was Grealish still had a lot to do and a goal was by no means assured even if ref had not blown.
A much lesser mistake by the ref than when Bentancur was maliciously hacked down in Villa game (same 'tackle' as more or less ended Doherty's career)
or when Nketiah followed through on Vic, and by good fortune didn't break his leg

Well put. It's basically the performance that means the team should have no excuse for not playing Angeball in any subsequent match, regardless of the circumstances."But the performance will stand as the most satisfying moment of Postecoglou’s time as Tottenham manager to date; and as confirmation in spirit, discipline and the boldness of his tactics, that something really is stirring here."

>at Man City away
>decimated squad
>still played the way we wanted to
I doubt there'll be a more adverse set of conditions. If we were able to pull it off yesterday then we can do it anywhere, and the squad now knows this.
Any City fan that complains of “corruption” should immediately be laughed out of town.
