So has common sense completely gone from football?
If someone made that sort of contact with you in the street would you hit the deck? Not a chance.
Its high time referees used their experience of life & common sense and sorted out this cheating in football.
Son cheated. End of.

I don't count that as cheating. It is just a smart move. He got slapped. Barely but he did. And it put him out of balance. For me it is a foul. Body on body is different thing but contacts with arms and legs are fouls for me.
Remember our pen vs Villa? Minute before pen we should have got pen but our player stayed up. Then Pogba told him "go down". And in next moment Pogba got us soft penalty.

I don't know but in these situations i always remember Inzaghi's word; "when i feel contact, i go down". Like it or not, football became soft game so you adapt or you suffer.

Going on reddit, Twitter, other social media, I can’t find anybody else who thinks it was a foul. I think the referee might be the only person in the world who thinks it was.

Ref and balaks

A-man · Apr 11, 2021

Thought Pogba was ok first half.
Maguire good except for the goal.
Hope everybody can show up for second half.

el3mel · Apr 11, 2021

We can still win this. I mean even Arsenal managed a comeback against them. Let's just calm down and press them.

Don't blame you mate I felt like turning it off as well, something needs to be done about this VAR clusterfeck it's ruining football for sure.

No Love · Apr 11, 2021

The change I fear the most is Lamela coming on. Our players are seething and Erik is a sensationally talented diver and con artist. It won’t be long before Jose sends him on.

Yeah, went to Spurs forums to see what they think. Of course it was a foul and the media, Twitter, everyone is against them and biased. Like Qanon, never their fault.

We live in a world where a racial abuse victim was disbelieved because of club "Loyalties" and where fans repeatedly use major tragedies as a way of "bantering" their rivals.

So of course a mere goal being ruled out will be seen with one eye.

Keane says no foul, I agree. VAR is spoiling football. A lad in five a side poked me in the eye last year and I didn't go down like Son did just embarrassing.

From a players perspective:

If you know the ref will call a foul for any meaningless contact, why wouldn't you go down if it prevents the opposition from potentially scoring?

It's mentally very hard when you feel that kind of injustice. I don't know how Ole will do it. We need to be pumped up and win all the second balls.

Totally agree. We need to get our heads sorted, that’s what is expected of us

FrankDrebin · Apr 11, 2021

And VAR was supposed to make the game better. :lol:

MrBest · Apr 11, 2021

I missed the first half, back for the second. Statistically, we have had 1 shot in 45 mins, it appears we need to do more attacking wise in the second half. I just want to be Jose arrogant self, hopefully the team come out all guns blazing, losing away at half time, we have been here many times this season, Spurs are rubbish in the last 20 mins when we seem to come awake, could be very interesting. Come on lads!

The moment they scored, I just turned it off. Absolutely raging with that decision and just had enough of this pathetic sport now.

Will just have notifications keeping me posted.

Let's be honest Son conned the officials, foul my ass. Spurs also conned the ref to get Martial sent off in the match in October.

On the goal conceded, where was Wan-Bissaka?

Marking Kane. Where was Rashford?

Its just weird to think that's now a foul in football. But then it isn't, because it isn't consistently given at all. So it makes no sense.

It has always been considered a foul but refs don’t consistently see/give them. If refs could see a slow-mo replay of every single hit to the face they would give the free kick more often.

With that said, Son pulls Scott’s arm and he’s simply trying to get free, it’s not like he’s deliberately smacking him in the face just to hurt him, so to disallow the goal for that is just bullshit.

Jazz said:
Absolutely,

To be honest, these refs book us for any little thing, so they don't need anymore encouragement to send us off

Yet, barring Fred's red in that game Ole moronically didn't sub him, I feel like we're good at controlling ourselves and not getting sent off.

There's nothing to understand. It's completely shit and ruining football.

Hope we are up for it after that half and actually play some football. Then score 3 and rub it in their cheating faces with both hands and not just a finger tip

Leg-End · Apr 11, 2021

Took 7 seconds to hear the first cry in pain.

reddevilz007 · Apr 11, 2021

Time to get McTominay off, or he’ll be sent off

Andersons Dietician said:
Sorry what’s he supposed to do there? Get out to Harry whilst he’s back tracking to stop the ball at source. “front foot defending” no doubt he fecker up, you can see what he is trying to do. Doesn’t want to take the safe option and just stop the ball whilst he’s falling back. He’s trying to adjust to clear it and just fecks up. If he blocks it every chance he won’t recover and beat Harry to Harry having a whack.

Honestly that’s like something that guy you love in the wrestling thread would say.

Get a foot on the ball. Get in a good position.

Do some decent defending, something the Lindelof thread bends reality around the idea of.

What did he say?

He said the ref was spot on and it was a foul all day every day and even in his playing days it was a foul.

Once var send the ref to the screen he has to give the foul. The fault is with oliver on VAR.. If it was the other way we would be screaming foul. Bloody shame as it was a lovely worked goal...
piss poor defending for the spurs goal, pogba jogging, Lindelof weak and then AWB out of position drawn into the middle of the box as he always is. Son in acres of space on AWB flank. Ive lost count of` how many times we have conceded this season from that side with AWB out of position.
AWB you are the fricking full back not the centre half. Good defender my arse

Overall we have created sod all. Spurs edging it.

If Oliver is on VAR then it all makes sense to me. He always robs us.

This is why a breakaway European league could happen because the FA just embarrass themselves and damage the sport year after year.

good point. He's world class at it.

crossy1686 · Apr 11, 2021

Even Twitter is awash with pundits saying they can't believe United's goal was disallowed. The ref has completely lost this game, he'll have to send someone off this half

SirMattlives · Apr 11, 2021

I have to say this refereeing decision does make my blood boil. It just ruins the game when this sort of decision is made and the antics of spurs so far only adds to the anger. Hope we come out and bury them.

Can easily see a red card here for Bruno or Scott

Fred had 3 players to pick out there and still found the Spurs player
