Premier Lg EPL Matchday 22 & 23 - On Optus Sport

[Frank Bunn]

All the time.

There's a big difference between a player being struck on the arm without any movement towards the ball and a player moving sideways toward the ball being struck on the arm.

The latter is much more likely to be penalised as handball.

Also think of a defender trying to control a ball on his chest but inadvertently striking the ball with his arm, even in a natural position.

That gets called as handball because it's a deliberate movement towards the ball.

A player trying to control it on his chest then it inadvertently hits his arm, it's still handball but not deliberate. You can tell when the ref thinks it's deliberate because they will dish a yellow card, or a red if it prevents a goal.

Feel like we'll cop a slapping with all this Kloppfest going on.

 

[DBAH0]

Maupay trolling Maddison I see.

 

[moomba]

Really good half from us. Doku and Nunes really causing problems and KDB amazing.

Only disappointment were not 3 or 4 up.

 

[SC_Power]

Nunez, lots of shots
Nunez, lots of no goals
Nunez, hits the post
Nunez, never change.

 

[Zidane98]

Diogo!

 

[Misher]

Stonewall pen. Refs don’t want to ruin the Klopp party.

Enjoy Your Lunch

Ange has given them a spray and half it seems

 

[RPCB]

Where did this come from Spurs?

Where did this come from Spurs?

Maupay riled up ange and he's given them an earful

The darts celebration now by 2 of our goal scorers

 

[Zidane98]

Shocker from Chilwell

 

[Topkent]

Where did this come from Spurs?

They have a world class manager

Shocker from Chilwell

and give him benefit of the doubt the second time

Is the dart celebration a bit like the ‘fingers on ears’ celebration that lots of players do?

They have a world class manager

Agreed. So good seeing an Aussie manager doing so well in the PL.

TRENT ALEXANDER-BRADLEY!

I'm in regular disagreements on the national team board because I think our players are absolutely dog shit. Ange is different though, I actually see no reason he couldn't coach any team in the world.

He could. This is literally the best Tottenham have looked this season in half a decade or more and that despite having some big name managers. Ange belongs in this league.

FFS better not be an injury to Jota from that tackle down the back of the heel.

 

[Topkent]

If it wasn't for just having got to Tottenham I think he would be the perfect Liverpool manager for next season

Ok, had enough... Ffs change the "hits the post" bit. I think that's about 8 times this season alone!

 

[Thistle]

Everything about that half was bloody dreadful for us

 

[moomba]

So so 2nd half, but good result overall. Tough one at Brentford next, got to keep the run going.

 

[Zidane98]

Muddy with a chance but was bouncing.

 

[Topkent]

Spurs into 4th only 3 pts behind arsenal

 

[Sphynx]

Not to mention, those managers had probably the best striker in the world at their disposal.
