Rules are rules

 

[Zezti]

That is hilarious. I can't wait for the fallout from this. Imagine if the Amazon cameras were still there.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I hated VAR last season but I'm really starting to warm to it.

In fact, it's time they introduced it for disputed throw-ins and corners as well.

 

[Rook]

Fixed it for you.

We can all laugh at Sp*rs but we're all going to get screwed by this over a 38 game season.

oh I think they'll be at least 2 clubs that won't get screwed

Rules are rules

Break the rules, you get burnt brudha. Just obey the law.

 

[R.Reddington]

Spurs own fault being 1-0 up there. Anything can happen if you are only ahead by 1...

Makes up alittle bit for the Alli handball at Goodison last season that was a blatant pen a VAR said no

 

[NorthernBlue]

Ours yesterday (and Palace's vs united) were handballs and would have been last year - they looked deliberate, with the defender facing the opponent and with their hand going to the ball (rather than the ball striking the hand). Obviously they were from really close range, and the defender probably automatically tried to block it, but the effect was the same.

This wasn't, and shouldn't have been given - Dier's back was turned and he was completely unaware of it. It was not a penalty even under the current rules, just as the RS one wasn't.

I thought ours yesterday was a pen. His hand was out to the side and stopped a potential opportunity for Richarlison. Whether he would have got there is debatable but you never know because the palace player handled it. This one today was never a pen as like you say his back was to the ball and arms were falling in a natural movement.

I think Roy Hodgson was spot on with his statement that players will now be trained to kick it at the defenders hands.

 

[Terrarian]

Souness chatting utter rubbish shocker

 

[Lelouch]

It's like the offside rule last year, Everyone knows it's dumb but they have to follow it now to be consistent.
Gonna be a wacky season this one.

 

[49ers]

oh I think they'll be at least 2 clubs that won't get screwed

Hoping Karma gods change habit of a lifetimeand screw them over tomorrow but it'll probably be the other way round

 

[Death]

Rules are rules. Keep your hands down.

 

[GwladysBlue]

One of their little media darlings have a handball decision against them and a team that could take their place in their favourite ‘Big 6’ had a decision in their favour.


QUICK, CHANGE THE RULES!!
