The Jones one was borderline and I ****ing hate VAR showing the ref a still photo of a tackle instead of the full incident. You learn nothing about how dangerous it is from a photo.

Jota was an obvious red though.
Jota got a 2nd yellow didnt he? the 1st yellow was a dive by Udogie

Udogie clipped himself while Jota was not in contact with him if you see the slow-mo replays.

But Jota was so stupid with his challenge for that second yellow despite knowing he was already in the refs book.
Jota made contact with him and that’s what made him clip himself. I think Udogie was the one who accidentally initiated that contact. So Jota was unlucky. But it still always gets given as a foul and a yellow.

Both of Jota's yellow cards are clear yellows.

In fact his second yellow is probably on the border of a red given how he throws himself into the tackle.

The first one is debatable in isolation but he’d just got away with no booking from a cynical foul minutes earlier. These decisions aren’t taken in isolation

The offside thing is horrendously amateur though

until these saboteurs keep remaining as var things won’t improve since even fans seem to believe that its the tech that sucks and not the people operating it

So with Tay-tay turning up with Reynolds at a Chiefs game, wil she be going to the Racecourse ground with them.

Hey we Had Michael Jackson at St James Park so they're only catching up.

on looking back at that match other than that var offside bullshit the refereeing wasn’t as bad as the online crying has been

Yeah. I don't have a problem with var in principle at all tbh. In fact I completely support its use. But the people operating it have to be competent, otherwise it completely defeats the point of having it in the first place.

Still probably too angry to vent my frustrations about that game and the officiating but alas well done Spurs, deserved the points. Van de Ven was my motm.

Really felt we were getting on top with 11 men, even looked very likely with 10. Annoying that we didn't get to inject Darwin because he was going to be the wildcard at 11 v 10.

Few lessons learnt but mostly just proud of how we played.. I'm far more confident now that we are the 2nd best team in this league than I was before this game. Spurs will give top 5 a good shake. good luck to them.

Without VAR the Diaz goal doesn’t stand anyway. A lot if the main issues with VAR appear to be along those lines which does beg the question as to what the point of it is.
