Match Spurs Vs Liverpool - Saturday 30th 17:30

[Kiro Kompiro]

The silliest bit of all, though, is the closing intention to explore ‘the range of options available’. Firstly because those options comprise entirely of a) cry and b) cry more, both of which have now been quite fully explored, but also because the necessary vagueness created by the total lack of actual options means Liverpool leave themselves open to attacks on things they’ve not even asked for.

Sympathy for Liverpool is huge but not limitless - their 'sporting integrity' statement is absurd

Do Liverpool *really* want to set football down a path where officiating errors 'undermine sporting integrity' and require a 'range of options' be explored?

People saying, "Well done you barely scraped past 9-man Liverpool".

If we beat them comprehensively, the narrative is "wow you beat 9-man Liverpool".

There's just no point sweating over the performance.

We got our 3 points. We move.

It would be nice if we were allowed to celebrate the win though wouldn’t it. All this noise over VAR conveniently stops that and takes the focus away from us winning the match.

With each desperate, bitter, tearful whine we're laughing at them more.

I can't be the only one who finds it hilarious entertainment, surely?

I wish I could. But I am just getting the hump. If I was certain the football authorities wouldn't do something stupid,I would be laughyas well.

There is a part of me that worries that we could be docked two points and Liverpool awarded 1 point or something horrible like that. It's unprecedented but I wouldn't put it past the FA or the Premier League.

I think it would be a bad idea to retrospectively change results like that because it would create a precedent that every club who loses a game through dubious refereeing would want to exploit. Fair or Unfair. Right or wrong. The result has to be the result.

And that's precisely it isn't it? Liverpool feel they shouldn't have lost the game so shout (a lot) s the PL/FA change the result. Isn't that the actual corruption right there?

Garth Crooks on Bissouma making team of the week apparently:

"Yves Bissouma (Tottenham): For the second consecutive week Bissouma makes my team selection. The Malian was at the heart of Tottenham's performance against a hard-done-by Liverpool.

The decision by referee Simon Hooper to send off Curtis Jones was a poor one. At first glance you can be forgiven for thinking that the tackle was a bad one because you see Jones make contact with Bissouma.

However, the Liverpool's player's foot moves with the momentum of the ball, and that momentum then carries Jones's foot into Bissouma. Hooper should have seen this on the replay and didn't, which is most concerning - a yellow card was plenty.

No sooner do Liverpool feel the effect of one injustice when another one comes along, but the video assistant referee (VAR) remained conspicuously silent. Luis Diaz's superb strike was ruled offside when you could see from the naked eye it was a perfectly good goal."

This aspect of their grievance is hilarious "VAR officials for the Liverpool match - England, Cook and fourth official Michael Oliver - were also part of an officiating team who took charge of a league game in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, just 48 hours before Saturday's fixture."

So referees need far more rest after a flight that say, pilots or brain surgeons?

Why the fuck are people insisting that the game is going to be replayed, Good Lord

[Yid_1984]

They are begging for a thrashing at anfield. Can't wait for the return leg, all the players must be raring to go

 

[Matt1882]

I never watch red shirt teams play as a rule so I have no idea. But I'm still curious if this is their first wrong VAR offside call ever?

They are acting like it is.

They had Mac Alister sent off and then the red was rescinded this season.
They're only kicking off because they lost. They and everyone else is ignoring the fact their "goal" was scored with over half the match to play at 0-0 so it still left them plenty of time to win the game. Which they didn't.

 

[Fattynomates]

Fuck Liverpool! Never known such a winey sore loser fan base, we would have done you 11 vs 11 regardless of the VAR Offside !
Maybe they should start to think why they're getting so many red cards and it isnt because its some conspiracy - the reason is they are dirty cunts who cant play fair, the amount of sly tackles in our half to stop us from breaking through to goal!
They literally couldnt compete with us so had to result to dirty fouls and the ref was wise to it for once, long may it continue!

 

[Samisspurs]

This is war, we need to treat Liverpool games like the NLD.

 

[Billy Bob mate]

The game is never being replayed.
We are not being deducted points.

Really don't know why people are saying it could happen.

Lost among all the salt and crying from LiVARpool is the fact that we did nothing wrong!

We won the game that we were in.

The officials made errors.
The Liverpool players got themselves sent off.

Any change to the result would punish us undeservedly.

Second place. A point behind City. On merit. Breathe it in!

Crooks is not Spurs.

He can't compliment anyone of anything connected to the club without a takedown after.

and by the way

Tottenham robbed by ridiculous VAR decision that highlights system's flaw

VAR ruled that Son Heung-Min's shoulder was offside, by millimeters, in the buildup to a Tottenham goal. But how the heck is that a "factual" or "clear and obvious" decision?

This is wild. He's explaining his team of the week while using 90% of the space about Biss to cry about Liverpool's injsutices. What the fuck is this?
