Spurs v Chelsea

[Buxtonclaret]

All this VAR crap is just getting worse.

[ClaretTony]

Amazingly Oliver has blown after 12 mins stoppage time. I thought there should have been at least three more minutes.

[Conroysleftfoot]

This is absolute bonkers.

[CryerBFC]

James could have gone there.

Not for me. Eye on the ball, using arm for leverage and won the ball. Not every coming together has to be looked at by VAR.

[claretburns]

Entertainment wise one of the best halves of football for us neutrals.

[ClaretTony]

A fiery game this, as is often the case between these 2 sides.

They really don’t like each other these two.

[ClaretTony]

Entertainment wise one of the best halves of football for us neutrals.

It’s certainly been entertaining.

[PremierLeagueClass]

Amazingly Oliver has blown after 12 mins stoppage time. I thought there should have been at least three more minutes.

It’s basic stuff like that which annoys me as much as anything. Inept the lot of them.

[kentonclaret]

I've just got back in and see there's 12 mins injury time and a red card

Also the BBC is saying there's been 3 goals ruled out, is that right?

Also Spurs have lost Van de Ven and Maddison due to injury.

[Westleigh]

Only ran it through in the last few minutes,did I hear the Spurs guy didn’t get sent off because it was petulance?

[kentonclaret]

The Spurs player kicking out on the floor yes that’s correct. Made my ears prick up as well.

[beddie]

Correct but his second one wasn’t petulance, absolutely stupid to challenge like that.

[Rick_Muller]

Wow the most exciting half of football iv ever watched had everything

And this is the reason VAR will stay - it’s the millions of armchair referees who like to discuss the merits of each decision that take precedence over the mere thousands at the ground without a clue as to what is actually going on.

[claretburns]

Only ran it through in the last few minutes,did I hear the Spurs guy didn’t get sent off because it was petulance?

Correct, same as Saturday evening at St James Park, Bruno wasn't sent off because he used his forearm and not his elbow

[Roosterbooster]

I'm a bit behind the times these days, but I thought a genuine attempt to play the ball (Romero's red card) was a yellow card and a penalty, not a red card and penalty.
So is it a violent conduct red card? I mean, it was a bad tackle, but it was clearly an attempt to play the ball. Is there a serious foul red card? Maybe its that.

Certainly an argument to say that it's a reckless follow through. Enzo hasn't moved from the position so is always at risk if you go in like that. It's not like he came from the side and was just caught accidentally with a natural follow through. Could have gone either way

[quoonbeatz]

Romero penalty isn't even a foul.

[Westleigh]

Saturday in Utd match there’s a subjective offside,now you can give someone a kick and it’s ok if you being petulant ,and I reckon if you play in red and white against claret and blue you can do what you bloody want.

Unless I'm watching replays of something completely different, it's not just an attempt to win the ball, he gets there first and wins it cleanly. Oliver is absolute garbage.

[quoonbeatz]

Udogie one is a red though. Mental they've not given that.

[RVclaret]

Romero penalty isn't even a foul.

Clear foul and red card. Cannot understand this opinion at all. Since when can you tackle with force shin high?

[ClaretTony]

Oliver didn’t give it though - was sent to the monitor. Yes he wins the ball but it’s the follow through that’s done him. It’s a definite red for me.

[CryerBFC]

Udogie one is a red though. Mental they've not given that.

They’re both nasty challenges, but I’m sure you wouldn’t be saying the Romero one isn’t a foul if they were playing against us. He knows exactly what he’s doing, horrible player.

As Gary Neville pointed out first half, 4 red cards in 75 games for Tottenham, that’s not unlucky, that’s just the sort of player he is.

[kentonclaret]

Clear foul and red card. Cannot understand this opinion at all. Since when can you tackle with force shin high?

There was a player red carded recently where his boot contacted the top of the ball and then went on to the player’s leg and it was deemed as reckless.

[ClaretTony]

Udogie off for second yellow - 9 v 11

[kentonclaret]

The spelling must be wrong it should be You Doggy. He’s an XL Bully.

[kentonclaret]

How gutted are Chelsea going to be if they don’t come away with the 3 points?

[LlandennyClaret]

He’s followed through. Red for me.

Hints of Barnes against Chelsea ….. red card definitely in this case though. What a great game to watch

[Conroysleftfoot]

I can't believe the chances that Chelsea are squandering, they were so clinical against us.

[ClaretTony]

Hints of Barnes against Chelsea ….. red card definitely in this case though. What a great game to watch

Not really. With the Barnes one, Matic came across from Barnes’ left as he was playing the ball.

[jos]

Be funny if Spurs score another

[quoonbeatz]

Clear foul and red card. Cannot understand this opinion at all. Since when can you tackle with force shin high?

You can't. But that isn't remotely what happens. Its not a tavkle dor a start, he's going to clear the ball. He kicks through ball from behind it with the side of his foot and catches the Chelsea player as his foot follows through. What's he meant to do, stop his foot dead? It's football, it's a contact sport and collisions like that happen. Never a foul.

[quoonbeatz]

Oliver didn’t give it though - was sent to the monitor. Yes he wins the ball but it’s the follow through that’s done him. It’s a definite red for me.

It's still his decision even if var tell him to look at it.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Very sporting of Chelsea to effectively only play with ten men by bringing Mudryk on.

[ClaretTony]

The Spurs goalkeeper is earning is money

[quoonbeatz]

Not at all, makes no difference who is playing. Agreed that he's a bell and he should have gone for kicking out earlier. Not for the penalty though.

[Rileybobs]

The Spurs goalkeeper is earning is money

Spurs would be winning 1-0 if Muric was playing for them.

[quoonbeatz]

Hints of Barnes against Chelsea …..

Exactly that. Not a foul.

[Buxtonclaret]

Some defending going on at Spurs tonight!
Gripping stuff this.

[claret2018]

I can see Tottenham nicking it

[ClaretTony]

Chelsea finally in front

[claret2018]

I can see Tottenham nicking it

Or maybe not

[Rileybobs]

I was thoroughly expecting Jackson to put that wide.

[kentonclaret]

Looks like Poch might pip the Post in this one.

[ClaretTony]

Spurs score but offside

[ClaretTony]

Fifth goal of the night to be disallowed

[kentonclaret]

That even looked offsite to the naked eye which is why linesman flagged it.

[ClaretTony]

It looked offside initially but it was very close

[elwaclaret]

More like American football than association football. What a crock VAR has made the game, I thought the idea was to help officials not take over…

[ClaretTony]

Only 9 minutes to be added in the second half

[jos]

Vicario spinning like a fish on a line to try and gain a bit of respite for the team
