Beren Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Game was over tbh. Spurs played as though they were facing an abusive parent from their past in the second half. Totally bottled it second half - disappointing, because though I don't like them, they have come such a long way and could have really troubled a (relatively) ordinary Man Utd side.

Disco Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Clattenburg looked pleased as punch with himself when he trotted off at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just seen this for the first time, technically you could argue Gomes was cheating by trying to gain an unfair advantage by putting the ball down about 10 yards further forward than the original handball incident if he honestly thought it was a free-kick.

Neil Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Seems very quiet in Goodison Park. Was VERY quiet when we played there. It wasn't good yesterday. Though I have to say, there's usually good voice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 The ref gave the advantage to Gomes to keep the game flowing and Spurs were in a good position to get a quick break on which was the right decision. I'd expect every ref to ask the keeper simply to play on and keep the game going without a free-kick being taken. Gomes then f***s up by dropping the ball in front of him and appearing to take a free-kick, he should have just got rid of it. The ref f***s up by just allowing it to happen an not bringing it back once Nani puts it in the net. Common sense says that it shouldn't, in the spirit of the game, be allowed to stand. He then has another chance to speak to his linesman to get it right and fails to get it right again. Both Clattenburg and Gomes are at fault. I can see why it was allowed but it's not the right way to go about things. No he didn't. He shrugged his shoulders. Since when has a shrug of the shoulders been the sign for play on? play on is when the ref puts both arms out infornt and Clattenburg never did that once. The ref has to give a clear indication/sign that he's waving play on so the player understands fully. A shrug of the shoulders is not play on.

Kaizero Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Also why is it that all our players are told to go away but Rio Ferdinand is allowed to stay? Just rewatched the incident and I have to say it's actually quite interesting how the ref waves away all the Spurs players but engage in conversation with Rio.

Flip Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Also why is it that all our players are told to go away but Rio Ferdinand is allowed to stay? I dislike your team, but you guys were robbed yesterday from the perspective that at 1-0 and still couple of mi nutes to go you could've scored. The ref killed the game with is outrageous decision. People blaming Gomes must be crazy, just like I saw on the footages and like Gomes said, the ref put his whistle in his mouth but never blew. I think the ref might have thought that Gomes had touched the ball with his feet or so and therefore let it go. Because he clearly demonstrated that it was a freekick and Clattenburg is fucking shit. I would never allow him to ref another football game, ref can't keep making these stupid decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Hoser Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just sawr this report from the scoreless draw at Villa Park: With the ball flying out of play a Villa fan rises like a salmon to head it back on to the field of play - collapsing over the advertising hoarding as a result. Hilarity ensues, until the stewards react by escorting him out of the ground. Harsh. Especially as that's just about the best thing that's happened in this match so far.

leffe186 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hate that offside call, particularly as I used to be a left-back. So the ball is played right down the centre-forward's path, as he runs onto it, but he's not deemed offside until he touches it. As a left-back, having stepped up to play him (miles) offside I now have to turn and sprint back, under pressure from the winger, then when I get to the ball the centre-forward now cuts off my path inside and pressurizes the ball to the keeper. Harsh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
