Good for him. Right in front of the Holte End, I still feel totally puzzled how the ref could not give a penalty for such a blatant foul. Honestly, how could any referee in the world miss the evidence? “He played ‘the advantage’ and missed” would have been the referee’s thought. Yes, because the shot was delivered with his shorts waistband around his knees! Where’s the advantage in that? FFS! One of the few occasions I would support ‘going down’ instead of attempting a shot. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost that game 0-4 anyway. It was the first game I took my wife to. Very, very poor performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are 100%, no argument. I wouldn't have cared if it was 0-100 to Spurs, a pen is a pen. I was trying to make a point that it was an abysmal game and we would have most likely lost it anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately my memory doesn’t stretch to what the score was at the time but my sense of injustice lingers. I know that Whelan* wasn’t playing so we might have scored the pen! * thanks for saving our season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it was 0-0, who knows wht might have happened to helenius' confidence had he not been debagged on live TV and in front of 40000 people just as he was about to score.

Mazrim Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I was at that game. We were terrible, but it was also some of the worst officiating you could imagine, all through the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usage of VAR would be hilarious on that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Apart from the Belgium journalist on twitter and Sky who are probably just copying him without actually knowing anything themselves, has anyone else actually reported this deal as happening? Doesn't seem as much of a done deal as has been suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
