Premier League Gameweek 7

[Scroto Baggins]

That a penalty on Kane? Looked outside the box to me, VAR strikes again..

Also where's Maupay at? Without him Brighton basically won't score. Maybe Welbz to save the day

Brighton have looked good, but no real focal point up top and it all breaks down. Lallana with some clever runs in behind, Lamptey has looked a threat, but looks up for someone in the box to fire a cross into and no one there. For all the clever play Brighton have done they have not worked Lloris.

Spurs look in second gear, they are the home team and in the lead, but one goal never safe in prem, where is the desire to go get a second or third?

Given the line counts as part of the box, that's pretty clearly inside.

You have basically described Brighton's season so far, they have been playing well but cant get a win.... I have scudded us now.

Son and Kane dive 2 second apart in the penalty area...no yellow for either? Seems like they're deliberately going over easily in the box.

 

[Anustart89]

No wonder players dive when there are no repercussions. Kane and Son with a flop each within 30 seconds, both which obviously tried to cheat the ref, and none of them booked so they can have another go in a minute.

Couple of scandalous dives there.

It's like refs have forgotten the part in the rules where a dive is a booking.

Having to have VAR check decisions AND give a booking seems to much for them to handle doing.

Like when that dolt the other week let Pickford off with utterly annihilating Van D.

 

[Still ill]

Has there been a yellow for a dive this year? I can't remember one.

 

[HJ12]

Couple of scandalous dives there.

I wonder if this is by instruction though. If the ref gives a penalty, VAR will only overturn it if the error is clear and obvious. And if the attacking player can somehow manufacture a touch, the penalty will stand (wouldn't have done so in these instances mind you). Kane is not normally one to go over easily.

1-1.

Liverpool made diving great again.

 

[Bebestation]

This is why I said the VAR should be like Cricket. Right now the refs dont know what they are doing and is bypassing so many problems.

I felt like if each team had 2 enquiries a game then players would be worried about diving and waiting an VAR enquiry on that. Today matic asked for a pen when I didnt think it was - he wouldnt have done that if we had to use our VAR more wisely.

 

[FootballHQ]

This will be chalked off.

Big warning for Spurs though. Surely after West Ham they should be going all out for the second unless they're dead on their feet already.

To have any hope of title challenge they simply have to win games like this.

 

[el3mel]

Yeah this looks like a foul.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Definite foul for me. Touched the ball but certainly didn't win it.

Idiot ref.

 

[MattofManchester]

That's a shocking decision.

Refs need some sort of discipline system, because the amount of bad calls just keep on coming and there's no kind of reprimand for it.

 

[FootballHQ]

O.k perhaps not. 5 live were convinced it was a foul.

Huge 30 minutes for Spurs coming up. They simply can't let another home game they're leading pass them by. Feels like a night where Bale might actually do something.

 

[el3mel]

It was given!! Haha.

 

[Traub]

Jose tears hopefully

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Is this on Pox Office telly only?

 

[Hulksmash]

What is wrong with English refs bloody hell. I have never seen a more blatant foul

 

[stretford_oslo]

Clear foul

 

[el3mel]

Spurs and us are having a home curse this season.

 

[HJ12]

Genuinely confused as to what the ref saw on the monitor there!

 

[Samid]

Never a foul. Fair fecks to the ref for sticking by his decision.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Is this on Pox Office telly only?

Yes.

 

[Moonwalker]

 

[el3mel]

Brighton look more likely to win this.

 

[FootballHQ]

Just looking at the stats, Spurs with two shots on target, two off and two corners after an hour. Dosen't suggest to me they're pinning Brighton back in their own half and they've been lax on the lead. Have I got that wrong Spurs fans?

 

[Snoooked]

Yes, it's a foul, but there was another 30 seconds of play afterwards...

 

[Vidyoyo]

Never a foul. Fair fecks to the ref for sticking by his decision.

How do you reckon? He didn't do anything with the ball, certainly didn't disrupt its movement, and took much more of the man (the whole man).

 

[balaks]

Thats a foul feck me

 

[Sandikan]

How the heck has the ref given that?!

Does he think the Brighton guy skimmed the ball an absolute miniscule fraction!?

Haha at Tottenham. Bit gutted I have Lamptey 3rd sub!

 

[Sandikan]

Never a foul. Fair fecks to the ref for sticking by his decision.

Never a foul?!

Did you forget the part the player has to at least get the ball? He doesn't even skim it!

 

[cjj]

If that isn't blatant evidence of what we're dealing with with bent refs then I don't know what is!

 

[LilyWhiteSpur]

Need to win this.

Fair point.

 

[Morty_]

What? Its clearly a foul, ball doesnt change direction at all.

 

[Munkehboi]

Thats a foul, clear as day. That's one of the worst decisions I've seen.

 

[Gordon S]

I desperately want spurs to lose but that was 100% a freekick, how can he look at it 20 times and still think it is a fair challenge?
