Vertonghen went straight in the tunnel after the final whistle. Excuse the pun.
Just when you need Holtby's half nude dressing room team selfies :walkercry:Went down the tunnel early for the shower celebrations with the lads :vert:
Oh really? I'd say you'd have to be completely naive, or have never played contact sports to believe that the contact hurt even remotely.

In soccer from what I know (please correct me if I am wrong)
Vertonghen is the angriest lover I've had.
Ho ho ho.Tell you what, the next time you're at the Lane I'll come down and headbutt you...and we can get all the TFC lads and lasses to judge how painful they thought it was on a scale of 1-10.
I played rugby up to army level.
Everyone has a different level of reaction to pain being inflicted on them, Super Jan just has a low tolerance pain threshold and a couple of Belgium Oscars in his drawer at home.Oh really?

You are remarkably coherent to be an ex-front rower Mick and yes you would know about head clashes in those scrums that's for sure!Ho ho ho.
I didn't say there was no contact, and I "get" the argument that by hitting the deck as though shot, he ensures the incident is seen.
As people are only too keen to remind me, I'm of a different age group to most of you, but I played rugby up to army level in the front row and I have taken quite a few clashes of head, to know what hurts and what doesn't. So you can be a funny cunt at my expense all you like, It still saddens me to see sportsmen resort to these kind of theatrics to get opponents dismissed. Spurs players particularly.
As a matter of interest I agree totally that the guy deserved to be sent off for his actions, I'm just sorry it had to be done in that manner, JV has shown in the Torres incident that he is a man of some thespian distinction.
