The bloke that caught the 3rd ball was a few rows in front of me.. From the looks and comments hurled his way, he was under no illusion what may have happened to him had he lobbed it back..
Pretty sure it got taken home as a souvenir as well..

Yeah. Bizarrely the first ended in a free dropped ball for us and the second for them. I'm not sure the ref had any idea what he should do TBH.
I was talking specifically about team spirit and the never give up, play to the end mentality.
I think what happens when the ball went in the crowd behind the goal.. Obviously the ball boys are well on the case and have a spare ball ready sharpish on the corner. But, in the meantime the other ball boys behind the goal are beckoning for the ball to be thrown back to them as quick as possible ( I think this is more to stop losing balls than to have it ready to be honest). The person in the crowd panics and chucks it back.. As they are 10 or so rows back at a steep angle it goes flying over the ball boys head..
That is the excuse for the 1st incident anyway,, The 2nd one was just that who ever lobbed it back was a twat.
EDIT: No, it wasn't me..

The referee was abysmal from the first minute to minute 102 , we’ve had some poor refs this season but I think he takes the biscuit .
From where? There are as we know from this forum more fans that follow Spurs but do not go to games. Social Media is a problem and is not really policed.
Finally got around to having a look at that Sheff U forum.
Fucking hell, talk about 'woe is me'. There are about 5 active threads still going and analysing how many excess seconds the ref played and why Maddison was being a meanie.

I noticed in a few vids that Skipp didn't celebrate much (abit like Dier)
Just the introvert and awkwardness in him? Or someone more?

probably a bit of both, he's not the most emotive guy and his situation is looking grim.
He's been usurped by both Sarr and PEH now. Once Bentancur comes back, he'll be 5th choice as the no6/8, and probably only see token minutes this season.
One of them used to like us and hate Woolwich, but now he hopes they stuff us next week.. Don't know what i'm going to do
But surely try to play some football? If Brighton can do it. Not all teams play like Everton and SU. It’s just their managers are very limited and have no real vision or imagination. Everton were at home yday full house v a team they normally do well against. They had 21% of possession!
If he sees himself as having a future here, he'll have to ride that rough patch out... So long as we bag European football again, things look very different next season... Much like they will if anyone gets injured before Benta returns.
Simple ideas and football administrators don’t go together. It’s like have a transfer window cut off before the season starts. Basically you play 4 games befire the window shuts. So you could play a team and have a right donkey up front. After the window you might a got messi and play other teams with him in your dude. It’s not really a level playing field.
regarding the Ref, considering the number of yellow cards issued which seems excessive considering it was not a dirty match, he was weak on the time wasting. As to the penalty claims, he can be excused for not giving them but that is what VAR is for and he was not told to review any. After failing to add enough time on in the first half he finally redeemed himself by adding 12 mins in the 2nd half and actually allowing 15 mins.
i understand why a struggling team plays those tactics but it is up to the ref to control it. Does anyone know if their GK did the gloves trick against Man City? If so the ref should be aware and certainly if he tries it again It should result in stronger action.

Have they always stuck cheese rock over the top? I swear it used to be muzak-less.
I think they started doing it this season.
