Honestly looks like a dive by Kane. If Kane stands still Lascelles doesn't touch him but Kane leans into him as he falls.

jesus. Does VAR expect it to be an instance where a player takes a knife out and shanks someone? Like seriously a nice diving tackle youd see in an american football match.

it's gonna be another year of spurs, united, arsenal and chelsea batteling for top 4 while city and liverpool play for the title.

Spurs are as shit as us, maybe even more.
Liverpool and Man. City will be off over the hills and far away soon enough. Think it's shaping up to be a very exciting season in all other areas of the table. Don't think anyone could call an obvious bottom 3 atm compared to last year with Fulham and Huddersfield who were down by December.

Dude, wtf. That's a pen. Unfortunate for Lascelles, genuinely believe he hurt himself and tumbled down, but, that's a pen.

Mike Dean can go feck himself, it's a penalty every single day of the week.

VAR is utterly useless in the prem. Complete waste which lets incompetent tits like him get away with shit decisions.

Actually like that one. Not a pen. Lascelles did fall next to him but none of his fall was the reason Kane fell. Kane fell into Lascelles almost intentionally there and tried to force it to look like a pen, he changed his direction to fall over him. Was a very good dive tbf.

Yeah that’s a dive. Similar to how he played at the World Cup with VAR when he tried to engineer contact at every corner or set piece.

How wasn't that a pen? Not that I'm complaining... but that was a stone wall imo. He took out Kanes leg with his body

Nah, that's a penalty all day long. Clear cut.

Lee Dixon falling over himself to protect Mike Dean is a joke.

It doesn't matter if he's slipped by accident. He's taken Kane out when he was about to get a shot, you absolute moron.

Theyve basically realised that the big clubs will justifiably end up with 2 or 3 penalties a game if they apply the rules to VAR

Well at least the standard is set. You can just fall in front of players to prevent attacks.

Dean should be giving it anyway. It was obvious Lascelles fecking fell in to Kane and took him out.

Ridiculous decision. He's given nothing to us today.

It depends. We have to ask ourselves:

Was the shanking clear and obvious shanking, or an accidental coming-together type of shanking?
Did the original shanking start inside or outside of the box?

To be fair if the Spurs foul on Rodri was not clear an obvious then there is no way in hell that this one was clear and obvious.
