Super League Tottenham 1-2 Proper Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[pooligan]

I have said it before and i will say it again There seems to be a different set of rules for Villa and a set for the other teams .If Ollie was deemed to be diving then why did'nt the idiot Pawson give him a yellow card like in the United game

[LukeJames]

Of the top of my head, Ollies had 3 awful decisions go against him this season.

1) Westham away.
2) Man Utd home.
3) Spurs away.

But then again I expect nothing less, we are probably the only team that has ever conceeded a goal that was so wrong that it has instantly lead to a new 'interpretation' of the law.

He wasn't, he didn't give it because the ball was going out of play, the ref made that really clear. The problem with that is the contact came before the ball was out of play so it was an off the ball foul, which means a penalty, it's another case of a referee misinterpreting the rules in a way that has a negative impact on us. This one is particularly galling given the free kick Kane got in the reverse fixture which was similar circumstances with the only meaningful difference that Kane initiated the contact whereas Watkins was taken out without changing his run in any way.

I agree. The mistakes this clown=posse of a set of refs have made this season are beyond ridiculous. Instances where we have been victimised have changed the rules of the game. They are literally changing the rules to penalise us. F**k them and the horse they rode in on.

What NSWE bring to this club is valuable and welcome but one thing they need to sort out rapidly is how the f**k the owners of The Big 6 exert enough fear that they get away with so much bias in their favour then do the same for us.

[Cliftonville Villlain]

I've said it before Dean needs to start going ballistic on camera and publicly shaming the refs. Fergie had the right idea and that shower are still enjoying the benefits of it. We just seem to be so accepting. Friend is an absolute disgrace but he'll continue to be the other teams 12th man until we call him out on it. NSWE will look after any fines.

Or the new Fernandes law that states that if you back into a defender and stamp on his shin you should be awarded a penalty

The price of beer thing was clearly a joke. This is from two years ago and no way pints have more than doubled in price. They are, nevertheless, yuppie prices and among the most expensive.

Yeah, I was so stunned to hear that price that I, too, looked it up. And you are right, clearly not true.

[TopDeck113]

With regard to the penalty decision, I absolutely agree that Dean should bang on about it. 

Yes, ultimately on Wednesday night it didn't matter.  However, there are plenty of occasions when the likely goal from a spot kick means the difference between avoiding defeat or nicking a victory.  If we continue on our upward trajectory, those outcomes then become the difference between winning trophies or European qualification, or just missing out. To get the decisions, he first though needs to come across as a bitter bastard on each and every occasion it doesn't go our way.

Fergie - being the classic case in point - built the most successful career in British club management partly on ensuring that his teams almost invariably got the benefit of the referee's doubt.  That was a direct result of making the man in the middle shit-scared of the fate awaiting him if he made the "wrong" call, the evidence of which was Ferguson incessant siege mentality of the world being against him and his team. Being diplomatic didn't get him any 50:50 decisions; being outspoken ultimately got him the 40:60s and 30:70s.

I'm sure I was only paying £4 a pint in the super-duper Sky Lounge last season.

Wasn't there a crap offside decision against albion away as well?

[robbo1874]

Ollie should be on at least 17 Prem goals now but for shit reffing / VAR by my reckoning. Add in all the times he’s hit the woodwork and he’d he top scorer by a mile in this league I reckon.

[Damo70]

We were involved in the most controversial Premier League decision last season and we have been involved in probably the most controversial Premier League decision this season too.

[Dave Cooper please]

Konsa can do whatever he, and whatever the manager, wants him to do. I don't remember the last time I've seen a defender his age who's already just so secure. Remarkable.

Gareth Barry? He made the move from superb central defender into accomplished midfielder, Konsa is evry bit as good if not better.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Konsa is and has been great, some way to go to be better than Barry though.

[eamonn]

I don't see the cultured play of Barry in Konsa to be honest.
