I get used to watch here in Serbia bad referees who are whistling like big boys from Football Association wants, but I didn't expect to see such thing in serious league like England Premier League. Imagine this I have ball I did what I wanted with it which is to pass toward teammate, but I see it's going to be intercepted and I jump then on you and crush you as opponent player to the ground. Is it foul for me ? Of course not! It can be foul only for you. However prick from referee thought it was foul for me... You don't need VAR to see it wasn't foul. It was very obvious! Welcome to Premier League game between Tottenham and Newcastle.
There was a lot of noise about new handball rule which gave Newcastle penalty after VAR check after this non existent foul. Well it was handball, it was stupid hand in air by Spurs clumsy Bear Eric Dier. He didn't want it, he was turned back to the ball, he was also pushed and Carrol deliberately targeted his arm. That lad wanted handball 7 times after he went in like Bruce sent him to shot arms and ask for penalties... LoL
Double standards which referees are showing when attacker is pushing defender in the box which is sometimes foul (if Mitrovic does it) and sometimes not should stop. If I push you in the back and move you off balance making you unable to play the ball like you wanted well that should be foul. However V.A.R. didn't see that just like it didn't check possible handball in Newcastle box.
However if Spurs were on their level in terms of converting chances to goals, if H.Kane scored one goal from few chances he got, if Lucas could actually pass ball toward Kane good like Kane can toward him game would be decided long before this deliberate error by referee with bad intention.
This losing point should not move Spurs off balance in terms to try finding new backup striker in poor lad like Benteke who could not score against Stevenage. If things came to this stage "give what you want" I'd strongly suggest Levy to buy currently out of contract player Daniel Sturridge! Even C. Austin is better choice than poor Benteke! I can also sign that Red Star substitute Pavkov who scored two goals against Liverpool is much better choice than Benteke! I so hope that info about Benteke is fake news.
We should not get angry on Dier, he is what he is a clumsy bear. He's fighter, giving all he can to club, but he has his limits. It seems that every club in Premier League knows he's clumsy and are targeting his arms to abuse new handball rule. Southampton got late penalty too, but it passed unnoticed because of result of 1:5 at that time. Is he good enough for Tottenham this year ambitions is another question. Connected with it I can't understand wish to offload Foyth which is in my oppinion better player than Dier, or keeping defensive goat like Tanganga on the bench...
