bumped as usual, it’s a point i didn’t think we would get, but could of done with the 3 city away nxt

Holgate's done nothing since he shoved Firmino into the orchestra stalls.

Jon Moss there, absolutely guessing his way through games even when he has the benefit of an actual video he can control.

John moss is stealing a living as a ref. The guy is useless.

My take on the game, neither team had much threat going forward, the penalty and it was a definite one changes the whole face of the game, Holgates sending off was correct, he followed through with his other foot, the substitutions were baffling, Allan seemed very annoyed to be taken off, a point is better than none

refs aren’t incompetent they’re just corrupt. Moss knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s shafted us so many times in the past

To compare Lloris getting the ball and keepers going through like they do, to Holate booting a clearance (not even in a tight tackle) and then flying his legs into the opponnents leg mate..

The better comparison is the Delph one, puts in a great tackle in the midfield which should never have been a free kick.

Nothing wrong with Holgates challenge for me. It's just one of those things. Richarlison did worse earlier in the game when he left his foot in on Romero (probably was him).

Either way the lack of consistency is shocking. Either they are all fouls or none of them are. The level of punishment deals with the severity of the challenge.

I ain't even gonna argue about that. We deserved more, but got what we got, cos that was about right in the end. Nowt up front really. Not sure still on the pen, although how they got the bloody ball back after it annoys me, considering their 'keeper was off his line and Richy had possession. No advantage now or what? And Holgate, I literally shouted well done Mason, until I saw the slo-mo. I thought it was a great, must win tackle, until the follow through. Allan, Richy, Delph, Gray, Coleman, hell, all of them, put a shift in today, which is all I ever ask.

Agreed. We didn’t really create anything and they hit the post and we had a missed pen. Can’t really complain since we’ve been terrible for three games running and that was probably the best we’ve been in the last month.

Sherwood spot on about the pen

First thing he's ever said that made sense.

 

[MercuryBlue88]

Thought the ref was poor in general, forget the big VAR decisions felt he absolutely favoured spurs, lost count of the amount of times Ben Davies bundled into Townsend when the ball had already gone.

 

[johntmorgan67]

At last a bit of passion and desire from the players although the quality was lacking , Gordon should always start ahead of Iwobi and Holgate should be demoted to under 23‘s

 

[Saint Domingo]

The fact the ref has to watch the reply of the pen multiple times tells you he didn't know who got the touch on the ball so he should be sticking with his original decision of a pen.

Must be a clear and obvious error to overturn the infield decision. That wasn’t. That was Moss looking for a way out of us getting a penalty and Kavanaugh only too willing to take the opportunity.

 

[arbok]

Don't understand why he came on in the first place...wait I do...Rafael is just guessing at this point

Rafael was watching ped on toffee tv saying holgate in DM.

 

[IllinoisBlue]

Biggest positive from the game is the liability Holgate cannot be selected for 3 games. Other than that was a much better performance than last few games.

 

[J'aime Les Bleus]

Far too sensible a post!

I have tons of insane exposition and BS'ery if you'd prefer. I'll work on it.

 

[Bluerover]

Kinell city away next, thought it was Brentford

The team should go over to Burnley for lessons on how to hang in there when everyone is giving you no chance, and get a point...at least.
