He grabbed the bottom of his hamstring I think?

noodler

I was just thinking, even at 1-0, can't fault one of them this half.

dirkmeister

That offside decision looks absolutely rotten.

If they show the lines where Diaz is offside then fair enough but f**k me it looks bad.

GAKPOOOOOOOO

Utopia Parkway

Feck sake Diaz.

Vicxas

How did Diaz miss that!?!

Charlie19

Omg Diaz that would've been some turn around

theoneeyedman

Gakpo got a good shot on the ankle in that foul, when his foot got caught under yer man's knee. Could be a bad one.

patsy sally

Boom could be ahead if they had of allowed Diaz goal which was onside

Osmosis Jones

Probably would've been offside anyway

rob316

I've never been more pissed off about officiating in a game. Despite been robbed we have been absolutely brilliant.

Look as he spun for the goal, his left ankle went very funny but he still continues. It's the spin on his left that got him. Hobbled immediately after. Same ankle he was caught with on the tackle just a few moments before.

~Rebel~

Incredibly frustrating half from a refereeing point of view.

Zero transparency on the offside with what was clearly a very very tight call that the naked eye puts onside.

Clearly biased presentation of images for the red card. Showing only the final images in slow-mo, instead of at any point showing the full incident in real time is outright manipulative from the VAR officials. I wouldn't allow slow-mo at all on those replays as they distort the reality of the event, but to not show it in real time at all is idiotic.

happyoutscan

I've no problem with mistakes. They happen.

Today's officiating from VAR has been rotten though. Rank rotten.

Is there a rule that you have to be pure stupid to oversee VAR?

Some of these probably can't manage their emails.

Absolutely of no help to the ref.

facehugger99

Should be 3-1 ahead.

Vicxas

Surely the clubs have been protesting the level of VAR in all matches. Every single match I’ve seen the VAR has missed some sitters

cj maxx

Only started watching the game , Jones sent off . Watching it now harsh

mayordenis

Everything I've seen suggests the Diaz's goal was onside, this is the one thing where VAR has to be black and white. Almost hope I'm wrong and it was just offside, because it is unacceptable if not.

SuperTortoise

Bet there's nothing said and no lines drawn at half time from sky.

thats what i was thinking

GiftofGab

Never one for conspiracy theories but after that red card and the goal ruled offside but this is clearly corruption. The offside is black and white.

colly10

Really pissed off ever that offside decision. Why not draw the line?

facehugger99

Not going to even look at the offside at half time.

Utopia Parkway

No mention on sky of the Diaz offside at all.

~Rebel~

Redknapp continuously going on about "not meaning to hurt him" is dumb on the other side too - it doesn't matter if he's trying to or not, all that matters is if its dangerous. The actual defence is that the move for the ball was grand and controlled, he made clear obvious decent contact with the ball, and it was only that contact on the ball that slides his foot onto the Spurs player.

Osmosis Jones

That's the worst offside call against us since this onez and they have replays now ffs

ben.schlomo

In spite of everything going against us I think we've been superb in that half. We dominated and were very dangerous before the sending off and even since we've been very dangerous. There's goals there for us on the counter if we can manage their post half time onslaught.

Something very strange going on.

Incompetence is easier to explain than conspiracy but if it keeps happening then what other conclusion could people come to.

mayordenis

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177849#Comment_121177849

Just about mentioned that it was contentious on the way to ads, I would love a definitive answer because everything points to that being a goal that was rules out for no reason at all.

Enzokk

Calling the offside now, no lines drawn as they could not see the ball being released so they went with on field call - that is what happened I think, unless they can show the lines to confirm he was off.

theoneeyedman

That slide tackle foul on Gakpo that hurt him, why wasn't that VARed and a red card given?

Doesn't matter where this ball was sure, a still shot would show him with his knee in Cody's ankle and his ankle twisted, that's enough surely???

mayordenis

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177860#Comment_121177860

I'm pretty sure that they can match the frames from multiple angles, I'm certain of it in fact.

What a joke

Enzokk

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177850#Comment_121177850

It was a bad tackle, but there was mitigation. If this is what counts as a red, then let it be for the rest of the season as well. I don't want to see a similar tackle next week getting a yellow because he went over the ball.

FernandoTorres

That's the worst VAR offside call I've seen. Didn't even take a second look at it. Absolutely baffling. Sky not even mentioning it either.

facehugger99

Honestly, the red card is fine. A potentially dangerous tackle over the ball. Seen plenty of them given and would want a Spurs player sent off for something similar.

The offside though......

~Rebel~

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177860#Comment_121177860

They definitely definitely can see the ball being released. They have cameras giving total coverage of the field in perfect sync. There was an issue last season where there was a blind spot right down in the corner, which they've rectified this season.

Damien360

Mcmanaman on the channel I am watching on calls that onside. It's very obvious. What's the point of Var if this crap happens. Why no lines. How many games have we seen with 3 mins to make a decision and loads of lines drawn.

Osmosis Jones

We've done really well so far but I think Spurs will be too much for us second half.

Happy to wrong though.

Enzokk

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177862#Comment_121177862

I am trying to give them the benefit here of that call (still a bullcrap call though if that is what happened)...I suspect the real reason might be stupider than that but I am trying not to be too cynical. It's hard work though.

mayordenis

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177883#Comment_121177883

You're a better man than I.

~Rebel~

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177869#Comment_121177869

Yeah, tbh I don't entirely mind the call - it's on the edge for me. The images shown for the ref by VAR were a total disgrace though presenting a skewed version of events.

ratracer

I’d like to see Endo brought on for Gakpo and Nunez for Diaz on the second half!!

mormank

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177769#Comment_121177769

It's as clear as day.

eigrod

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121177873#Comment_121177873

Harry Kane wasn’t and Robertson was against these. That’s the frustrating part pf it. They instinctively show red against ours, like Robertson, McAllister, Van Dijk & now Jones.

BorneTobyWilde

Sky requested images for offside, REFUSED to provided , as of yet

WTF

Damien360

Jota instead of Nunez ? That's an odd choice. Gapko off as expected. Hopefully not for long.

SlickRic

Have we seen the Diaz offside with any lines yet?

Like, I'm deadly serious.

It just seemed so odd that they told the referee to keep going with the game.

Absolutely corrupt that nobody has seen the lines yet. It genuinely smells extremely wrong. Even Neville is confused.

Utopia Parkway

Even Neville thinks the offside is suspect.

Osmosis Jones

Jota on
