Registered 10 years agoThat's a funny angle, but even there it's not all the ball over all the line.
ITV did the hawkeye thing on it, and it was nowhere near. None of the ball was even within inches of the line. -

Registered 10 years agoThe one small thing I was glad of yesterday was that we at least lost without the usual derby day controversy. Feel for Spurs, mostly because of the effect it would have had on the players leading to the skewed scoreline, which now goes down in plastic history. -

Maybe Chelsea goals are awarded like spot the ball - it's not about where the ball actually is, it's about where a panel of Chelsea players say it is.

Nice to see Lampard get a goal from long distance, it's been a while. -

It's always the ref's fault. It's the only reason spurs never beat utd. It's up to 25 times in a row now that the ref has conned them.kalel wrote:
Whatever. In your head anyone who comes against you is a windup merchant. I even called them the "chelsea coonts" just to appease you, my lord.
Wind up merchant succeeds in winding someone up, and claims their prize in style. Nice.
You clearly claimed it WAS their fault then tried to claim its equally there's because they conned the ref.
But fact is, it's 100% the ref fault. Claiming it's like diving is absurd. The simple fact is the ref didn't see the ball cross the line, and it was impossible to see it, and the linesman didn't even support him.
He guessed, and he shouldn't have. Regardless of whether the chelsea players called for a goal, he should never have made that call. Yes the chelsea players are coonts, surprise surprise. It is still 100% the refs faults.
Can you read that, understand that, AND try not to be condescending and insulting? And accept your initial point was wrong, no matter how you try and spin it to save face?Support the Mowgli Dirty Protest!

Registered 2 years agoWow, didn't expect that result at all - seems like we got very lucky with the second goal, to be honest we were sat almost in line with the goal and none of us thought it was in :s
Amazing game though, amazing amosphere, and for Chelsea a truly amazing (if somewhat flattering) result. Terrible saying, but I have to say I'm still buzzing! -

But the linesman didn't flag for it, so how could the ref have given it? Like I said everyone around me was (pleasantly) surprised when he gave it, and you know what football fans are like - usually claiming any decision no matter how tenuous -

Registered 11 years agoNot seen the replays yet, but it sounds like a terrible decision of the ref to award chelsea 5 goals as a result of that incident. I'm assuming that that goal counted 5 times otherwise spurs fans would surely look a bit silly if they said that was the only reason they lost.Support the Mowgli Dirty Protest!

Registered 2 years agoThe thing is (and the more I read/see, the more I think it actually was over after all) that I don't beleive it killed Spurs off at all, if anything they were looking quiet in the second half and sprung into life, as did their fans. Sure it didn't help, and if indeed it wasn't over then it's a huge mistake by the ref as he shouldn't have given it unless he was 100%, but it really didn't kill spurs off IMO - was very, very nervy at 2-1

Registered 2 years agoNope, I certainly see your point - although momentum can have a great impact on a match I guess... for both the players and the fans. In this case though it genuinely did seem to act as a kick up the backside for Spurs though, but at 3-1 I guess it put the game behind them and that's when they capitulated -

Registered 11 years agoTrust me, that'll be the only reason. It happened a few years ago in the league. Spurs 2 up against utd at half time. Second half utd get a dodgy penalty (as only utd do) and it was such a bad decision that spurs inevitably conceded another four afterwards which were all a result of the bad penalty decision as opposed to spurs just being a shit football team.Support the Mowgli Dirty Protest!

You're quite right about momentum of course and are obviously one of the few posters on here able to talk about football here reasonably whilst looking at both sides of an argument in a fair and rational manner. God knows I can't do it. I just read the reams of bullshit from halfwits seeking to justify the latest atrocious performance from their atrocious team (generally spurs amd liverpool fans, though not exclusively) and then call them twats.
I'm a utd fan and part of me hopes that city win the league for no reason other than crispy is about the best poster on the footy threads here and I'd like to see him take his team winning with the customary good grace / utter disbelief that's become his hallmark this last 3 years. And that bit ain't sarcastic, by the way.Support the Mowgli Dirty Protest!

I thought that they were 3 up but changed my post after a quick check.
Had to check how long it was since spurs beat utd too for an earlier post but, to be fair, I am getting quite old now so nobody can blame me for not being able to remember the last time spurs actually won against utd. Didn't google match reports for every single game, but I'm assuming that the ref was to blame for every single one of spurs' dismal performances over the last ten years or so.

Registered 11 years agoIf my team came back from 3-0 to win, I sure as hell would remember that game inside out. Hell, I'd remember if we won 5-2. But then we can't score more than one. -
Really and truely didn't, can rattle off scores from the last 3 or 4 seasons, especially great comebacks like them. But anyway, no way of proving to you so all semantics really.
That peno's the only bad one I can remember the last few years, if you discount Gomes' brain-fart for Nani's goal a while ago. -
