up?It wasn’t offside. Look closely at the photo and you can see that the horizontal lines were drawn in Leicester’s favour
I think thats clutching at straws a bit, it was marginal and I hate it but its happened now and there's fanny adams we can do about it
He isn’t tho.
Since when has he been Scottish?
Offside / Onside it didn't cost us the game. Unless of course, the players decided that, like a number of people here, that there's some kind of conspiracy going on and they were never going to win the game so why bother. Perhaps Coco was so enraged that he was in danger of going full psycho and getting sent off (actually that might be true - I retract)
I didn’t really understand the VAR assessment of Son. He brought the vertical line up to the defenders knee and up to Sons elbow but the defenders elbow was further past his knee...... am I missing something. TBH that decision changed the game. You could see the spurs players deflated after thinking we just can get over the line and Leicester players thinking we gotta push on. I think the team played pretty good today tbh and I think a draw would have been a fair result
Anyone else feeling like they are just about done with football??
I mean VAR is killing the game, we've had it to our advantage a few times and It didn't sit right with me then, but when you see refs missing people getting chucked on the floor in headlocks in the penalty box and not given after review and then he gives Son offside by the width of a fag packet today, which totally turned the game on its head... its a bit hard to take.
How can you celebrate anything now when they are pulling back goals for such ridiculously fine margins?

But a mentally resilient team, which of course we have been for a good 2/3 years now, doesn't allow that. Points to issues in the dressing room for me, some of which are the fault of Levy and some of which are compounded by Poch. I'm not in the PochOut campaign at all, but Palace aside, there is something wrong and we have known that for a long time now. Maybe we should keep on doing the same things and hoping the outcome will be different?
Fucken cheeky wee cunt. Cannae expect that o winksy. One o the few in our squad who gives a fuck. Hope Winks blades the cunt
I thought she was a Tory!
Should either have kept him on or looked at bringing in Dzeko or Mitrovic - or similar - Spurs did neither.
Lennon wants him back at Celtic in january. Be the best move for everyone.
I know, that's my point, we do not have a second striker and Poch doesn't trust Parrott. You need bullets when you are fighting and we don't have it.
Me too. I've definitely lost some love for the game. The 'modern' game with its financial lunacy, celebrity /selfie/Twitter/Sky nonsense, handball rule, and now VAR chalking off goals left and right for impossible to determine margins, is making it harder to embrace.

9 months without an away win the league. Sacking material
I think Celtic wanted him in the last window but his on/off move to Brugge scuttled that.
Spurs will need to pay a hefty chunk of his wages if he goes on loan at Celtic.
I don’t know. I can say that Allegri at Juventus replaced Conte (who was adored as a former player and captain) who suddenly resigned in July. He did not deny his predecessor's work but made an improvement. Allegri (unlike Conte, Mourinho etc.) never comes into conflict with the company: he works with the budget he has available. Juventus reached Cristiano thanks to Allegri's excellent results.
Spot on there. There is the option to stick Son or Moura in the striking role but someone like Llorente or a player of that ilk gives you something different whether it’s in place of Kane or paired with him.
