VillaChris Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Just now, bobzy said: The difference is that the defending player in both instances still made the contact, even if the attacker was looking for it. Martinez does not make contact with Kane at all. Now, if he's stopping Kane getting the ball then it's a penalty IMO - the contact isn't needed. But he isn't impeding him at all; Kane just kicks the ball away and collapses over him. He did the same against Matty Cash whenever it was, too. I just wish players would hold their ground more against Kane instead of diving in and giving him the chance to go to ground. He's not a player who can quickly move his feet and score from ridiculous angles so Emi stays up and the move probably just fizzles out as there wasn't a Spurs player within ten yards of him to pass.

gwi1890 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Funny how long a delay there was with the offside flag for spurs but Duran got caught offside and the flag instantly went up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It was a penalty from the contact point of view what I’m more interested is how come they didn’t show the possible offside in the build up? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either they just aren't smart enough, or something currupt is going on. The ref never gave a pen initially, it went to VAR and they recommended a pen and the ref went to the screen and changed his decision. if after all that a pen was still given, it’s blatant corruption, or big 6 bias at least. Palace or Fulham would not have got a pen there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 My favourite from today was in the first half where the spurs defender kicked through Buendia to win the ball - no free kick On the resulting break away mcginn shoulder to shoulder on son - free kick I've no problem with the ref saying Buendia isn't a foul if that's how he wants to ref the game but to then literally 5 seconds later give a foul for mcginns challenge is beyond taking the piss, it was ridiculous 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Why the delay on clear offsides ? I get marginal decision but how many times were Spurs allowed to play on when clearly offside? We got caught offside once and the flag went up straight away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this yesterday in the reaction and rating thread. The standard of officiating is diabolical! Some is close to match fixing level its that bad You may as well go grab some random people off the street that have some basic football knowledge and they would probably do a better job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted May 14, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 14, 2023 We get the best players from abroad, can’t the PL bring in the best foreign officials too? They all speak English for the international tournaments anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabinho allowed kick people and no card I don’t want to speak too soon but there’s been 4 big calls today that have all gone our way. Correctly yes, but we’ve been conditioned to believe that doesn’t happen so I think this has been a good day for officiating (so far). We’ve won every game with this ref this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sne Posted May 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2023 On the added time thing. I'd be fine with it if it's been like this all season but they changed it (or started to enforce it differently) mid-season after the WC which I strongly dislike. Use the same rules the whole season. It' also wildly inconsistent from game to game and team to team. Not claiming that it's us in particular they are after, it's not. But there's been as always a big club bias from what I've seen. Our games it's just random, the big teams get's as many minutes as they need. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
