chill out, I'm not defending it. I'm saying it's pissing in the wind if you think it's going to change or our players are above it. Maybe in Nazi Germany, but not here.

Oh fucking come off it, if Adebayor scored an offside handball goal in the Champions League final you lot wouldn't care a shit. All I want Spurs to do is win.
For F, Goodness sake people! Vert was deliberately (key word) head-butted on the field of play! The slow-mo shows his head jolting on contact! Maybe not hard enough to floor him the way that he exaggerated it did, but definitely enough for any player executing such an act, to be sent off! And had Vertonghen not gone to ground, that wanker would have still (undeservedly) remained on the pitch!
I can not believe some of the comments, against Vertonghen. Has this site been infiltrated?

Well that's cool. My NZ Germany comment was in response to your 'moaning about it it futile" A joke that got lost.
Really? I am sorry, but you should just keep on lurking!
Someone call Hawking - the rules of physics have been bent!
A "5'2 dwarf" headbutted a person without jumping even though he couldn't reach his shoulder.
It's a glitch in the matrix!
Zozulya is actually 5'9" in real life. Vertonghen is 6'2.
That 5" is incidentally the distance from top of head to temple.... how coincidental

When he went storming over to Jan looking like he was going to go all ''dnepropetrovsk maniacs'' on his ass I just started searching for Sandro hoping...
...would happen.

I have to come away from this thread. It has got to be a wind up!!
Good luck finding one that isn't. :adelol:
The opponent clearly put his head to Vertonghen's head on purpose. It was incredibly soft. He wasn't trying to inflict damage at all. Vertonghen clearly saw it and felt it and went down. There is no arguing that he was headbutted; there is no arguing that if any single person on the street felt that they wouldn't have even cared. If Vertonghen had done that and the other guy had had the same reaction everyone on here would be freaking out. Not a single one would claim "nature of football these days...necessary part of the game."
All well and good discussing the headbutt... but what about the moody cunt storming down the tunnel.
him and Zeki were about to walk down when it looked like Tim stopped them, Zeki turned around and came back out but Jan had fucked off. Im guessing its not injury related... so maybe it was a tampon emergency?

Well done Jan. They dived about 10 times just tonight. Hope the lad enjoyed his team collapse because of him.

was this at the end of the game?

Uhhhhh, he was clearly playing with a shattered cheek bone for the last 35 minutes!
I remember when Zokora dived and won us a penalty and everyone went batshit.
What has happened in the meantime? Did we all suddenly just not care about the cheating in the game any more?
JV falls over quick for a big guy doesn't he?
I've seen my 6 year old girl take more punishment at school sports and keep upright

soon as the final whistle went , it was a quick wahey and then off down the tunnel. Seemed odd after what was quite a result in the end, and the atmosphere around.Well done Jan. They dived about 10 times just tonight. Hope the lad enjoyed his team collapse because of him.
It's not cheating though, really, the rule isn't subject to gradation when it comes to a red card - Jan got butted, he is entitled to go down - if he stayed up, the guy would have got away with it.
I remember two season of Gareth Bale getting chopped down constantly but staying on his feet and everyone called him a diver regardless. No merit in being "hard" on the field. You have to also consider their conduct over both legs.
Are you judging his reaction or the validity of the red card? I assume by context its the validity, in which point I think you need to revisit the footage; how he reacted to it isn't relevant in the context that many are discussing it.
