I dont think the producers spotted the jumper. Distracted by the pure pashun in the best league in the world. Brilliant. First pick of BMD seat for you sir (no discount)

Very good point today, well deserved, a smashing game to watch as well. I thought Gana and Branthwaite were both outstanding, Branthwaite was MOTM for me though, I thought they were very close, but, Branthwaite's late equaliser was the difference for me. I suppose Dyche could be in with a shout as MOTM as well, not many teams will go behind twice against Spurs and still get a draw.

Guaye was excellent he is a key out field player. Pickford kept us in it for a point and man of the match for me.

 

[Rita_Poon]

No it doesn’t. Their defender made a “deliberate play for the ball” which means it becomes second phase after that. Branthwaite was nowhere near him to be deemed interfering with play either.

I say otherwise. It's why they did the var. To be involved with the attempt at the FK is to be involved enough. After the header is another matter.
The FK was isolated according to the rules. He was just onside.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We should have scored 4 today. Not clinical at all

 

[Tommy Chong]

His energy made up for no Doucoure today, big difference. Still absolutely crap at finishing

We need the Duke back ASAP!

With Onana, Doucoure and Gomes in the midfield, we'd look a completely different team.

What? No it isn’t. He didn’t cause Romero to jump for the header so he didn’t interfere with play?

 

[Rita_Poon]

Don’t agree. Romero actively plays the ball, so just don’t see the relevance.

They checked the offside from the delivery kick of the free kick. What's tough to understand? All players making the run at the defence are looking to get on the ball. Therefore active.

yes it is.

why'd they check then?

 

[MikeH72]

yes it is.

why'd they check then?

Because they are cheating scum bags

 

[Rita_Poon]

As if anyone can know the moment the ball is touched where it will end up.

Insanity.

 

[neil999]

Hahaha this aussie looks like someone has nicked his bbq lol

 

[Runub]

Spurs manager looks well down hearted in his interview. Shame that

 

[Rita_Poon]

Because they are cheating scum bags

Then why show us the audience? Why draw the lines? Call it offside and restart.

That’s just nonsense.

They don’t give offsides for players nowhere near the ball.
