Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Spurs

[srsmithusa]

With perspective, the officiating team was still poor, 

But that isn't the real point or the real story.  We won.  We beat the opponent despite the ineptitude and inequities in the officials.  Well done lads.

I've seen us crumble many games when the officiating was inept or biased.  Winning despite the slanted deck is a noteworthy accomlishment.  UTV

When was the last time you saw someone booked for diving? Pierluigi Collina was never afraid to do it...and saw less of it later in his career because the players knew better.

 

Almiron actually got booked for diving today

so this was a pen:

 

but this wasnt a pen:

Come on boys, we watch the game for enjoyment so forget the inept refs and soak in the feeling that we will soon be a top 6 club and will start getting these call’s ourselves.

Just got home and watching match of the day … that spurs pen is a disgusting dive from Kane .. what’s the point of Var if it buys that shit 

[nick76]

Love it…

We are so superior to them it's ridiculous. What a nice feeling to watch that game sort of breeze by as we kicked the ball around in their half. It's so nice to be better than Tottenham and Chelsea.

I don’t understand? According to the London media you can’t be right because Martinez is looking to upgrade to them…

I really hope Chelsea struggle to recruit the players they want and struggle to offload their deadwood and just fart around at midtable all season long. I have a feeling it won't end well with Pochettino.

You should get 4 pts for a win against the "top 6" teams to compensate for the bias refereeing.

[TRO]

I have deduced one thing from that game......a Push in the back to send you flying is a legitimate challenge.

The mind boggles.

One of the few I have been too this season. SJM incredible , what a change since UNI has arrived. Ref did all he could for Spurs. WTF was wrong with the linesman normally waving for anything, I thought at.one time he was paralysed (why wait so long) Kane is an F ing cheat. Watched  MOTD and not changed my mind about anything. Disappointed that they didn't give the penalty more views

Martinez literally comes steaming out, gets none of the ball and spreads his entire body in front of Kane to either run into, trip over, dive, whatever you like.

It's a penalty. I feel I'm going insane seeing everyone complain about this.

My son inlaw completely agreed with you. But there again he is a Spurs fan

Watch the clip, its manufactured, cheating.

Kane kicks the ball away, so Emi misses it, then jumps even before contact. It's not a penalty, refs are shit.

Like I said in a previous post, most genuine players I have seen jump over the player there, cheating Kane drags his legs over.

If anyone can find a still of Kane in the buildup to the penalty showing if he was on or off, I’d appreciate it

Probably no where to be found anywhere, but you know! 

This is the best I can come up with, certainly looks tight.

What I understood from the Match of the Day summarizers today.

If they had been playing we would have lost 37-2.

Google search.
In a 16-year professional career in which he scored 330 goals at club and international level, Lineker never found the target or finished on the winning side at Villa Park.16

Players making sure other teams player can't tackle or win the ball and then getting fouled.

More at ten.

 

I think that's just football.

I had a good still of it in TV yesterday, as good as the line, he's knee is just offside no doubt. Terrible decision, you can imagine in the VAR office they were flapping and concentrating on the penalty incident.

Harry Kane’s head is photoshopped!
