I'll save you time: Nothing. Spurs fans have no reason to feel aggrieved by the refereeing in this game.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think they complain about right decisions in our favour as well mind, not just wrong

[alexf]

Got the important decision right first half  But classic "homer" performance 2nd half. Felt like we got waved play on for loads of fouls on us but they kept getting soft decisions. When he did give a foul against them he wouldn't book them for clear counter attack stopping fouls. 

 

No penalty for Gordon but then Botman gets a foul and booking against him for doing far less at the other end?  Was gonna be seeing if that had resulted in a goal against.

 

Then 12 mins seemed massively excessive, especially when you consider the same ref blew dead on against Liverpool when we were counter attacking. 

 

As usual with these guys it's the chronic lack of consistency that exposes either their ineptness or their unconscious bias.

I still have no idea how our first was not ruled out for handball, i would be fuming if this happend against us.

It wasn't a deliberate handball that's why.

because he didn't try to make himself bigger, the ball just twatted off his hand from a metre away,it was interpreted correctly in the rules

If it hits the arm/hand accidentally it's only a free kick if:

 

1. You score off your arm

2. You score immediaely after it hits your arm (i.e. Joelinton scores. A teamate can score after it hits his arm)

3. It hits your arm when it was making your body unnaturally bigger. I.e the position of the arm can't be justified by your movement on the pitch.

 

Only 3. could apply and his arm was down by his side so not making his body unnaturally bigger so no free kick. Accidental handball's usually just waved play on because of this. It is a judgement call, but this decision was pretty obviously correct IMO.

Didn't burn do the exact same thing later in the half and ref called handball and foul for that?

The 2 situations were completely different and burn was unlucky after the replay.

I'm not sure whether it actually hit Burn's arm but he was very lucky to stay on the pitch given the ref gave a foul, IMO. 

[Holloway]

Burn's arms come up automatically when he's getting turned, he does get away with one or two like

It looked like Burn made himself bigger with outstretched arms. Reality was that he pulled them back before the ball hit though, so shouldn’t have been a free kick.

No, Burn's hand was almost shoulder level.

Bump

They’re not even trying to hide their bias at the moment. Just doing it blatantly and all the pundits go along with it. Fucking racket

[Hanshithispantz]

Cannot remember who it was, but about 10-20 minutes ago Gordon put his hand on an Arsenal players back, who then proper superman flew to the ground and was given the freekick. Pretty much sums up the game.

 

Atleast Bruno holds the defender off for a second and lets it get into a bit of a tustle before flying over, this is like playing against a team of Longstaffs, only the ref buys it.

Don’t know the ref’s name, don’t care. Absolute clown show of a referee. 

[Kid Icarus]

No big calls for him to make but about as bad as it gets in terms of giving one team everything and the other nothing. 

 

Everyone knows that all people named John Brookes are wronguns.

[nufc123]

How did he miss the Isak one? His arm was pointing backwards for quite a while.

[alexf]

Yeah didn't cost us but the amount of cheap free kicks given for clear and obvious dives so they could try another set piece was ridiculous. Not to mention some of the clear pulling and shoving on those set pieces. Dubravka got completly pushed over on that cross he "missed" and you know if it had gone in ref would have ignored. 

 

Glad they didn't intervene on the Isak push. You see forwards do that every game and would have been ridiculous reason to rule out. Odegaard didn't even complain. 

 

Loved how the ref managed to completely miss Trossard pulling people back aswell. Yet more "dark arts" from the goodie two shoes gooners.
