[Albion] Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Eeyore]

I admire your acceptance of what are basically corrupt/incompetent decisions against the team you support

I'd say 'bad' decisions but not corrupt. As I said, I don't know about the first Mitoma one, so leave that to the experts. The MAC one is only being contested by those who don't know the rules. The stamp on Mitoma was a clear penalty.

So it may be that there was one bad VAR. But it's an issue as it altered the course of the match. But it's affecting every team (we don't discuss others on here much). No-one seems to be able to prove this alleged corruption. But a system not fit for purpose ? I think that has been proven.

But the thing is - if either, or both, of those decisions had gone our way - I don't think any Spurs fans would really have complained much.

Goal was given. VAR ruled it out because it was sure the ball hit Mitoma's arm. But it didn't. So how can they be sure it hit his arm when it didn't ****ing hit his arm!!!

The MAC one is only being contested by those who don't know the rules.

No, the Mac one is contested by people who aren't totally sure it hit his arm. If it definitely did, fine. But that's not the worst decision.

What a travesty. I suppose you get big bucks for hanging on to a game by your finger nails, putting away your scraps and having a referee who plays to your tune.

The first one, maybe. But not the second one. It's not a grey area. A goal that is scored off the penalising area of the arm is automatic handball. I would have been fecking fuming if that wasn't chalked off.

Re-watching the highlights - the lino when flagging the Mitoma goal actually keeps patting the PL badge on his upper sleeve showing where it hit. ie: not handball according to the current rules.

Corruption is top trend on Twitter the top journo’s of football are all having a go. A brief look at our pen shouts and minutes ruling out our goals says it all.

Absolute joke, not letting it ruin the day though. We were magnificent and deserved to win it.

Kane is such a wanker.

prepare to be fuming when United beat us at wembley with a last minute goal scored in that fashion and allowed by VAR

were loose

Annoyingly correct, Dear Friend

Romero pushed him, wouldn't have even been a question of 'handball' if he hadn't.

A whole universe and everything in it, in 6 days, was a fair effort by god

Both teams played well, today, but we were decidedly the better.
The only 'team' that embarrassed themselves were the officials.
It's that simple, and equally shocking.

We were comfortably beaten by City last time at Wembley, even though it was only 1-0. However, had Walker been sent off for one of the most obvious reds you will ever see in the first half, we may have made a game of it.

Spurs were f***ing dreadful.

If that happens then I'll happily join the Corruption Crew

They scored two great goals, so I have to accept that. We were denied by the official calls.

The officials were indeed the worst, by a mile (corrupt or incompetent) but no, Spurs did not play well.

Watch the game (again if necessary) and check the stats. Also, regarding the stats, remember to include the shot on target for Mitoma's goal and our penalty(ies).

They had, what, three shots on target? Negative shit football that would've lost if the officials weren't f***ing bent.

We all know about our stats and how they have served us in recent matches. As I said (and stand by), Spurs were not poor, by any means, and yes. (as I said) we were better.
But yes, we were truly robbed by the officials, for some strange reason.
I wonder why.
