My son who is joint manager of Grantham town in the northern premier league were in the fa cup preliminary round yesterday where they won 3-1 against Barton old boys earning 3k in the process, going tomorrow against basford united and expecting a crowd of about 800
True story - in a recent rugby league match, a player dislocated his kneecap and was caught on film on the pitch whacking it back in himself and playing the rest of the match. :nonono:
How's that not a pen? The trouble with VAR, and I am in favour of it, is that we still have the same poor officials making the VAR decisions so we are still getting a lot of poor calls. On the bright side, it's only Spurs. :biggrin:
I know what you mean, but I suspect that a lot has to do with what the ref says he has seen. They are certainly making sure that 'clear and obvious' really is, at least when it comes to penalties.
I'm ok with them not overruling the onfield ref if it's not clear and obvious but I'd like to see them making more use of the 'just have another look in case you missed something' option
Also the ref is talking to the Var guys so I suppose it depends on what he ssys. If he says I didn't give it because there was no contact, and the Var can see contact them they will overrule? But if it's s case of ' not enough' it's left to his judgement.
It looked like a stone wall at first to me but then the replay does show Kane going to fall over the defender rather than following the ball. 50/50 maybe for me
I wonder if he did retire to concentrate on his club football, but now realises that he's probably not going to get a lot of club football so wants back in :hmm:

Walker should have had two yellow cards.
Citeh are lucky Bournemouth have been profligate in front of goal.
Sterling scores. He really is very good.
Usual big club getting away with it stuff.
There are clips on the internet.

It really was a horror show of a challenge.
