Become one of the least liked players in the league and not just because of his antics yesterday

Because clutching at straws is fashionable.Not sure why people are bringing up Bruno Fernandes here. The guy nearly missed a penalty because he had one eye and yet he wasn't taking it to the level of being unconscious on the floor needing the physio to revive him.
And PL should pass a rule which will see McT play with his hands tied to stop the destructive force of his fingers.I want to know where the Spurs medical team found that portable life support equipment. Bought Son back from the netherrealm.
McTominay should go to the UFC with the type of power he displayed yesterday.

Who's going to make the Phelan meme. It's bloody perfect that shot.After the disallowed goal Phelan's thinking "football, bloody hell".
How have I only found this now?Tweet

"Mason fecks it against poppadom wrists"Only clip I could find (most get pulled). But shows..
(1) the ref was in a perfect position to view the entire incident live - as opposed to Rashford incident (not referred) where he couldn't
(2) McTs fingertip catches Son roughly on Sons right cheek? He goes down holding the left side of his face.... NO-ONE deserves racist abuse but he deserves to be lambasted as the cheat he is. The Spurs players/medical team don't come out looking great either though maybe give them benefit of doubt that they took Sons reaction as true
(3) Why only show a second of the replay to the ref and in slowmo? Taking it completely out of context... doesn't show Son trying to pull McT or that McT is a natural 'get off' reaction. If that was rugby, ref would say show me more/full speed and conclude it was natural... as did every ex footballer (regardless of club allegiance) including Jenas!
(4) To come out at HT and say it wasn't his natural running action shows a complete lack of understanding of how footballers move/react and VAR (Pawson?) and ref should be suspended

Too much fixation on applying letter of the law. There's been several outrageous calls by VAR as a result of over analysing slow mo footage of an innocuous incident.What I find odd is that we all know that Son threw himself to the floor and wasn’t injured. The pundits in the studio also all recognised that. Why are the referee team unable to do so?
The check should have been - does he poke him in the eye (the only thing I think with that level of contact might have justified that sort of reaction). Clearly not. A hand on the cheek does not justify that level of reaction. Goal stands and Son booked for playacting.
There's a thread for them - the Newcastle game and Maguire's back header was funny. Also calling Shelvey "EDL"How have I only found this now?
He did?I thought Ole missed the chance to call them straight up cheats and instead gave Mourinho a way out by talking about feeding kids. Any other manager would have done that after what Lamela did in the home fixture and then followed by Son in this one.
I think he should have stopped there when he called Son a con-man and it would have been the question posed to Mourinho instead of giving him a chance to weasel out of it and take the high road.He did?
He said we were conned then .. actually the ref was conned.
Effectively doing the same thing as just saying "Son's a cheat" but also bringing officials into it... wonder how Sons next 50/50 decision will go now.

It needs to be a rule that a blatant dive makes it difficult to judge an offense and it can only hurt the attacker. The ref should first assess if its an exaggeration and judge it from the there.What I find odd is that we all know that Son threw himself to the floor and wasn’t injured. The pundits in the studio also all recognised that. Why are the referee team unable to do so?

This is exactly it. People will bang on about players who don't win trophies, but take it overly personal when a player does everything within their entitlement to get a result. Everyone has players who do it, but people turn a blind eye to their own. Look at how liverpool fans (of all!) point out even the slightest dive from other teams, when Mane & Salah could star in the beach landings of Saving Private Ryan if they did the whole thing on green screen.Sadly the the way the game is these days it rewards such behaviour, (while going well out of its way to find reasons to disallow goals). I can’t even get mad at Son because what he did was not only comfortably within the laws of the game but actually encouraged by them. I think it’s a sorry state of affairs, feel like I’m watching the beautiful game being picked apart and ruined before my eyes.

Agreed.SO long as the games and the refs continue to reward play-acting, why would players stop? I hold nothing against Son for yesterday - he would have been dumb to not do it.
link please!There's a thread for them - the Newcastle game and Maguire's back header was funny. Also calling Shelvey "EDL"
I follow him on Twitter, can be hit and miss but some of the comments very funny and I like the nicknames.... Shawberto, Jarhead, the child feeder...
That's what VAR is. It's a bunch of people sitting in a van watching a tv. As technology goes it's crap.The incompetent referees using VAR are ruining the game.
