Fair enough. I’ve not seen it back but I thought the ball did go out and Bertram was looking for it and did the job. I’m not arguing he’s better / worse than anyone else. I just don’t think it was fair to send him off todayYou can't make excuses for stupidity...especially when we've seen it more than once before from him.
He's always diving in recklessly or pulling people's shirts and doing other stupid fucking things on the pitch...and worst of all he still does these things when he's already booked, which makes it even more fucking stupid.
The fouls were close together yes, but that's kind of the point too...bookings are supposed to make you wise up a bit, to this fucking dundernut, it's like a red rag to a bull.
The amount of people that were crying for this clown ahead of Trippier hurts my fucking head tbh.
If he was any good on the ball it would help, but he's not, his final ball and touch is customarily unreliable, which is an adjective that defines this cunt.
Well said! Graham Scott made the Spurs fans be booing at half-time even though they were winning. He was anti-Spurs as was the lino who failed to see the ball widely out to favour Soton.Totally disagree. He did not warrant a sending off today. The ball was out and there was no foul.
You have chosen to attack our player instead of support him. Fuck off you stupid cunt.
Agreed. Bertrand knew he was on a yellow, ran across him and dived to the floor. Serge has a reputation, and as soon as the ref saw it was him, he went straight for the pocket. It is what it is. Also thought his reaction afterwards was telling, he was absolutely distraught.Still think he's our best RB and adds to our game.
Plus, was a bit daft, but I thought the second yellow was harsh.
Thankfully, we unite against these enemy cuntsWell said! Graham Scott made the Spurs fans be booing at half-time even though they were winning. He was anti-Spurs as was the lino who failed to see the ball widely out to favour Soton.
The ref is following Mike Dean's hidden agenda to HARM Tottenham at every juncture - Scott was talking to Soton players for repeated fouls rather than book them, buit Aurier did not even foul redman for the sending off.
What annoys me are the "fake" fans on here who do not support the team they 'claim' to follow. The players are getting crappy refereeing every game and people like "The Mercurial" are either phoney fans (gooners pretending to support Spurs) or complete idiots who do not watch the match andf observe what these cheats are doing to stop Tottenham.
You are a fan but not of Spurs I bet. Only a complete blind twat can blame Aurier - you shouldn't troll genuine Spurs fans here and go get a life! Well done Tottenham for overcoming the cheats in the FA.He was already booked, he's a stupid fucker and it doesnt make anyone less of a fan for saying it.

We have plenty of players who can cover - and none of those give away penalties
It wasn’t a second yellow. First one, no question about it. Second one? It was a joke imo. I think the ref was in 2 minds whether to send him off for the first one (straight red) & couldn’t wait to pull the second one for the most minor infringement. If he’d not got a second yellow for that, he was a dead man walking anyway because the ref would have found something on which to give him his marching orders. I feel quite sorry for Serge here.
