Probably should have been a red.

I thought that at the time but a bit too far away to see it clearly. Ref owed us one for how shit he was in the rest of the game towards us then.
Edit. Just saw it again. Probably only just a yellow. It’s a contact sport.

what a performance, some of his little disguised passes etc was him at his best. looked very much like a world class CB, so did VDV.
Just saw on red watch Boothroyd and Dermot both said straight red . Having seen it again , what the hell was he thinking , so unnecessary .
He's an interesting character because often when he gets a yellow (particularly an early one) he tends to step it up and play out of his skin.
He seems to love to play with the figurative knife at his throat. Which is a bit risky obviously but when it works quite enjoyable.
Yep. Was immense vs Brentford.
Those two, Xavi and Kudus were all immense.
Brentford went to ground deliberately to break momentum about three times? After they first did that I just wanted us to ram the cunts to bits tbh.
Yeah, it was so obvious. Yet, the referee fell for it every time. I do wonder the intelligence levels of these officials it seems to be very low.
Was 100% a red, we got away with one.
Have to admit sometimes it takes watching these comps to remember just how good a passer Romero can be. I often take these passes for granted when I'm watching live (although the through ball to Kudus was clearly a standout).
Just a real shame we don’t have a CM that can receive these passes and find a quick one touch pass around the corner to release a forward. Wharton would thrive on these bullets
Wharton will be at Palace with Glasner until he either ends up at a mega club, or Glasner leaves. I don't see how we come anywhere close. We haven't even signed any players from Palace in years. Sure Romero would benefit him and us, but it's merely a pipe dream...

Get that player add a Locatelli type and a quality wide left player and a functional rightback. The team might genuinely make sense.

Maybe but it was no where near as bad as what Joelinton did to Kudus and there wasn't much ballyhoo about that (outside of Spurs fans)
Haven't watched the show all that much, but I swear every time I do it's of them highlighting a red would should have received or justifying a decision that didn't go our way. It's like getting sent a video of someone on tinder explaining why they swiped the other way. Nauseating
Personally I think that had the ref given a red, VAR wouldn’t have overturned it. It certainly ticked a lot of the red boxes and he could have had no complaints.
What I wil say about ref watch is that you seldom see that agreeing that any contentious decision given against us was wrong. Like barely ever if at all.
We have our bias here, of course, but there’s been some crazy things where Dermot goes no, wasn’t a pen, yes that should have been a red etc etc.
What did they say about the Newcastle pen that shouldn't have been a pen?
