Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

Yes I agree with you completely.
Think the Clarke one might have been offside though???

Liked your managers interview after the match.
I certainly wouldn’t like a telling off from him.

I have watched you when you have been on TV and think you have played very well.
But you can’t make errors like that to often.
All keepers do sometimes .Felt sorry for the lad as he played very well .

Yes i think the Clarke effort might well have been ruled offside by VAR (dont think linesman flagged at time).

Most of our team have never played at this level before and so learning "on the job" - unfortunately individual errors, whether defensive or forwards missing chances, are costing us vital points.

Big game for us next sat away at Watford.

For the Spurs boys on here, I here rumours of a dressing room split, similar to the Terry / Bridges incident at Chelsea. I am not naming the two players, as that is not fair to GM. Any truth in it?

Just did a search to find the story. Not many people believing it on “The fighting cock”.....though I don’t know if that is a decent Spurs forum.

Be interesting if it is true

Horrible tackle in the Toon game, a rightful red card. Newcastle look poor again, genuine contenders for relegation.

Not sure it’s actually “super Sunday”

Don't name them then, just state their initials.
Don't see how it's unfair to GM.
What's the name of the woman getting shagged 😄

Verthongen tried/has shagged Eriksens missus. Kane caused the black eye Jan was sporting early in the season.

So that explains why Jan was out of favour then.
Well it seems like we will lose Eriksen, probably in January 😩

Better in January for something than June for nothing? Keep him all year if he is performing but I get the impression that isn't happening. What would you do?

He should’ve left during the summer, but guess the bigger challenges didn’t want to pay for his services. He’s been awful since last Christmas to be honest, so not surprised the offers didn’t come in.

Don't want him to go, however best for the club to sell and get something for him.

Was it a red card tackle ? Seen just the one reply and looked like he got the ball clean without jumping or studs up but followed through to the player - seemed a very strong tackle ?

10 years ago its not even a foul! i struggle with these being called horrible tackles, he plays the ball at force and the follow through is deemed dangerous, is his foot supposed to stop the second he kicks the ball? i know by the letter of the law its a red card, its the law i dont agree with

You need to see it again. It was a leg breaker, even Souness said that and he know a leg breaker when he sees it.

He was off the ground, straight legged, studs hit the leg well above the ankle. He made sure he followed through with his full weight, 'putting one on him'. It was a tackle commonplace in the 70's but not any more.

What I’ve learned since moving here some 5 years ago, is that that kind of tackle and the subsequent red card could/would only be questioned by English people.

As clear a red card it can be, if you ask me that is.

So how is he supposed to get the ball or tackle the player in that situation? He doesn’t jump and gets the ball clean , it’s not illegal to tackle straight legged and how is he supposed to get the ball without going through to the player ?

He has to change his technique or stay on his feet or his angle of attack. He has to stay in control, keep his studs below shin height when he connects with the player. Take your pick.

I heard a manager on the radio recently, can't remember which one, pointing out that most red cards for tackles are for players off their feet. He discourages his players from going off their feet to make tackles for that very reason. How often does your beloved VVD go to ground? Hardly ever is the answer. If he ever does his angle will be such that he doesn't go through the player, certainly not front on.

What Haydyn can't do is exactly what he did do. It was a pub league tackle.

If he didn’t tackle or take that ball then the player has gone past him , yes it’s strong and forceful but then it’s supposed to be a physical sport , seen words like “horrific , disgraceful, horror tackle , disgusting” being used to describe the tackle and for me it’s none of them - he got the ball cleanly and because it’s a forceful tackle it’s hard to stop yourself and goes into the ball - man and ball they used to call it. It’s not late , or high or two footed , or from behind. Guess strong forceful tackles are not allowed now - very soft red card for me and a tackle that 5 years ago would have been applauded.

 

[Old Skier]

IMO it was a tackle with intent, the intent was to get the ball and make sure you got the player. Definitely an old style 70's tackle. Surprised the leg wasn't broken to be honest.
