Why did romeros not get sent off vs Brentford then.

This season we dont ever have the ball in the box how can you win pens when you only cross the ball in

Every team has dubious goals allowed/disallowed.

How come Woolwich players are the only ones that got sent off for kicking the balls away last season

How come Fernandes gor a red against us last season

How did Liverpool goal get disallowed against us 2 seasons ago.


CONSPIRACY!!!!!!

You havent given me any explanation as to why its happening lol, you have just presented some instances that back up your thinking and ignored all the ones that dont like any good conspiracy

How am I meant to prove that it happens unless you want me to give you some sort of official independent report to say that we are being screwed over by referees which is probably the only evidence you will happily take at this point because when I do try and give you some sort of explanation in regards to the lack of pens you use all sorts of mental gymnastics to counter it by saying "I'm sure there are other reasons", pointless

BTW You haven't exactly yourself proved the contrary either, just saying stuff like conspiracy and sore losers isn't exactly countering these claims either so...🤷‍♂️

The most blatant handball ever swept under the rug and never to be seen or heard again. Even on here people were not making it a big deal.

Absolutely incredible it wasn't given. The following week they demoted a ref who didn't give city a handball against wolves even though his arms were lower down looooooool

The thing is they couldn't even hide behind the 'arms were in a natural position' thing either because his hand was so far away from his body but nope, not a pen when it comes to Spurs...of course. :D
 
Also listen to the sky commentators stumbling over their words in a desperate bid to justify why the most blatant handball you can get wasn't given (in the west sham game). He literally doesn't make sense...just fucking listen.

Then listen to the sky commentators the following week in the city Vs wolves game explaining why the handball should be a pen ...even though his arms are fucking lower hahahahahahahah.

They are not even trying to hide their biased views because we are seen as a banter club so you can sort of get away with anything against us and we never say anything anyway.

Neville explaining why ekitekes goal should stand whilst telling us why Muanis won't. They are fully on bantering us.

I have countered claims -

Every fan forum on the internet has threads on how bad decisions affect them.

No Spurs fan's opinion on this is untainted and unbiased - it literally cant be -

Why did Romero not get sent off vs Brentford?

Do refs have lists of who they will be most and least biased towards?

Mate they never discussed it in the media again and ref watch didn't cover it. I'm off the opinion that they buried it because their was something in the Comms that didn't make sense or was outright dodgy so they wanted no attention drawn to it.

But you haven't, you've just put them down to "I'm sure there are other reasons" what and how have you countered them exactly here?

I accept the Romero thing of not being sent off but I can give you loads of examples where he's been treated unfairly, neither proves anything here, my point is that bias exists and I've just given you a load of examples from this season and the past few seasons that back it up.

The only way you should counter them at this point is show me a load of favorable decisions that have gone in our favour instead of hiding behind the conspiracy angle..

No, that isn't true - I can show you that other teams have had more bad decisions go against them -

You know, there are independent panels out there that document these, right?

That is an opinion piece, the results are taken from a poll that Squawka put out to it's readers, what does this even prove? lol

Apologies - see below for the official Key Match Incident Panels review of last season's decision.

Again, you, as a Spurs fan, cannot be objective about this. It is literally impossible for you to be.

Thank you for confirming my point earlier.

GW22 VAR controversies​

The Premier League returned after a break for the FA Cup third round, and VAR was put to work. There were a few controversies across Gameweek 22 including two penalty calls — one given, and one not.

This was the week the handball call against spammers that was checked by VAR but guess what??

It's mysteriously left out on here as well as on sky. They don't even mention it, how odd.
