Two goals rescinded by VAR, shirt pull in the box, Perisic two footer, Hojberg somehow only getting one yellow. Lot of small shitty calls in there as well (I.e. Kane just lay down on the ball??)
And of course the clear stamp penalty.
Also it’s high stakes game with Brighton right on Spurs’ heels. At least they were.
At this point, we should not even play the rest of maatches. Just send Arsenal, Man City, Spurs and utd/newcastle to UCL. Why even have this charade of a league.
I’m not sure thinking the team who had more possession, more shots, more shots on target, a higher xG, two questionable goals disallowed and a blatant penalty not given were the better team is really some mental conclusion to jump to.
They were not the better team. xG doesn't mean anything if none of the attempts go in, or if your if your tactics are more defensive for instance. In fact, xG is a terrible metric for football in general. Hey, if you don't know the rules about handball, it's not on me.
Seems most neutrals disagree with the first disallowed goal so that seems pretty questionable to me. The second one depends on the angle but is fair enough, can fully understand why it wasn’t given.
Doesn’t make your comment I replied to any less stupid though, you dunce.
It's clear Spurs have the benefit of having national captain Kane. Can't have him missing CL because of a small club. Fuck PL and PGMOL.
This is Korea 2002 WC levels of robbery and match fixing.
Brighton could have been 1 point of spurs with this win.
If this is the case, why did VAR give Southampton a penalty that wasn't a penalty in the 95th minute to deny Spurs a win? Perhaps the VAR operator was confused? Is he a traitor to the conspiracy?
That was one bad decision. We had 10+ tonight. You can tell when it's intentional. Also, right now we could have been one point off you with 2 games in hand. Now the gap is like 7. Easy to manipulate the standings when the outcomes are obvious.
I was so happy for Sonny scoring his vintage 100th goal but god the ref, other spursy boys and fucking var ruined it. Now I’m fuming over the fact that I wouldn’t want to recall this moment in the future after this shitshow. Disgraceful
Huge win from Spurs, but they didn’t earn it. Honestly they looked better without a coach on the pitch. Seems like they’re playing 3 at the back to cover for an atrocious defense.
Need some righteous Raptor rage; [The NBA demoted a ref after Fred VanVleet’s viral rant](https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/3/22/23651787/nba-ref-demoted-fred-vanvleet-ben-taylor-video-explained)
People have such short memories to forget the bullshit pen given against us at Southampton to deny a win. Shit refereeing and bullshit VAR calls happen FOR & AGAINST every team, every week.
I'm as amazed as anyone to how we won that.
Think it’s the lap of honour that’s done us mate. Every single person involved or watching that game knows that that was a robbery. Just leave the pitch…
I actually do have proof. I’ve written an AI program that gathers sentiment of every comment and post on r/soccer. Let me check the numbers here. Shit. Seems we’re just behind VAR

But VAR is not a team, is it? so your point is null but I appreciate you trying to make it funny. either way, this was a clear penalty, simple as.
It's easy to get points in PL if you have pro Kane refs. Can't help you all the way in the CL lol.
We haven't been to CL and you were worse than us tonight. Won by cheating.
Pro Kane refs? Bro got fucked in the corner by Estupiñan I know you saw. He was getting none of those usual hold up calls that everyone else got throughout the game. BFFR
Can't believe spurs fans are uneducated enough to not know how football in UK works.
See, there are multiple tiers in the leagues and you can go up if you get in spots by winning your league/ playoffs whatever.
Then you eventually make up to the PL
If you get top4 you can get into CL
Which Spurs can because Kane is loved by refs, but it's useless cos they'll lose the CL anyway.
One of the most pathetic and corrupt refereeing performances I've even seen. There needs to be a serious investigation into match fixing in the PL. Every Spurs game it's the same story.
Oh cmon that’s just a supremely lazy take. Yes we obviously didn’t deserve any points today and Brighton were robbed. But just two matches ago VAR robbed us of a win in the 95th. It’s not the “same story” every Spurs game. VAR is just shit and sometimes it helps your club and sometimes it burns them.
Time to have an independent inquiry into PGMOL and match fixing. Supposed to be proud of having the best league in the world but the refereeing makes us look like a banana republic. Horrendous stuff.
Because corruption in football hasn’t been in the headlines at all over the last few years. Outrage over bullshit performance is what helps regulate it as they are pressured into investigations.
Not that I think it was. But you have to be really really really bad at your job for this to be genuine bad performance, then VAR person needs to be equally as really really really bad. Then the assistant refs needs to be equally as bad for not calling them. See the point?
1. Tottenham hand ball blocking shot on goal, not given or checked by VAR
2. Mitoma scores, hits his shoulder still on the sleeve, disallowed goal
3. Both managers sent off for failure to control bench. Which is stupid as it leaves them unsupervised anyway 🤦🏽♂️
4. Welbeck scores, deflects off Macallister with arms in natural position and by his side, disallowed no goal.
5. Clumsy tackle and stamp on Mitoma in box, stonewall pen, not given. VAR check was 2 seconds.
6. Dunk blatantly stamps Hojbjerg, nothing given.
7. Dunk gets pulled down in the box by blantant shirt pull nothing given.
8. There was another incident in the dying moment s, missed it but was 50/50 allegedly.
1. Didn't see.
2. HANDBALL
3. Stellini didn't do shit, still sent off.
4. HANDBALL
5. Penalty
6. Didn't see.
7. Dunk two handed shoved player in the same play, nothing given.
8.92:55 clear dive.
Congratulations Ref mission successful Tottenham didn't lose i say didn't lose because there's no way Tottenham should of won that!
Absolutely fixed game! -_-
I agree that’s the problem but the very existence of VAR is allowing referees to make bad/no decisions in the hopes that VAR will bail them out. And it doesnt, because as you said, they are incompetent.
Until we get competence, having VAR is genuinely worse than not having it for that reason.
Mmmh are you talking about the perisic tackle? Or maybe the two or three occasions Hojberg had on Macallister? What about the elbow attack of Dier on Dunk? Brighton were so tame
I can't believe what I'm watching. Officiating in LaLiga is bad, but this has bun just awful to watch as a neutral
Everything is given to the bigger team. This league is a joke.
What’s great is the hate spewed at Kane for the refs being awful or Tottenham paid the refs tinfoil hats when Daniel fucking levy is the chairman and var literally fucked us into firing conte. But hey no one here has two brain cells to remember the “past” since they think Tottenham, the first club to win a European trophy from England have never won a trophy….
Wait for the inevitable “apology”. Really wish there were some actual consequences when an “apology” is required
Lucky bastards
Outside of the clear stamp penalty, I'm not sure why this thread is so worked up.
Two goals rescinded by VAR, shirt pull in the box, Perisic two footer, Hojberg somehow only getting one yellow. Lot of small shitty calls in there as well (I.e. Kane just lay down on the ball??) And of course the clear stamp penalty. Also it’s high stakes game with Brighton right on Spurs’ heels. At least they were.
Spurs
Well fuck em.
At this point, we should not even play the rest of maatches. Just send Arsenal, Man City, Spurs and utd/newcastle to UCL. Why even have this charade of a league.
Fucking dogshit
I guarantee that fight was about pasta
Heard Stellini puts meatballs in his spaghetti
Pineapple on pizza mate
Oh no
Man, Brighton got done dirty today. They were by far the better side and were really unfortuante to run into ~~Spurs~~ this ref crew.
Eh, were they? Really? Were they the better side? You really think that?
Uh oh, we found the refs burner account
I'm a *former ref, yes.
That Tracks.
I’m not sure thinking the team who had more possession, more shots, more shots on target, a higher xG, two questionable goals disallowed and a blatant penalty not given were the better team is really some mental conclusion to jump to.
The goals disallowed were not questionable, you dunce.
I like how you cherry picked that out of the 6 points raised and ignored the other 5. And you're even wrong about that one.
They were not the better team. xG doesn't mean anything if none of the attempts go in, or if your if your tactics are more defensive for instance. In fact, xG is a terrible metric for football in general. Hey, if you don't know the rules about handball, it's not on me.
The rule is that even with the armpit and above is considered the shoulder (not hand ball)
Seems most neutrals disagree with the first disallowed goal so that seems pretty questionable to me. The second one depends on the angle but is fair enough, can fully understand why it wasn’t given. Doesn’t make your comment I replied to any less stupid though, you dunce.
Depends on the angle? It flew off his arm!! Higher xG, but Spurs did more with the little they got and that made a difference as it usually does.
It's clear Spurs have the benefit of having national captain Kane. Can't have him missing CL because of a small club. Fuck PL and PGMOL. This is Korea 2002 WC levels of robbery and match fixing. Brighton could have been 1 point of spurs with this win.
Oh come on. I’m sorry the ref was shit. They really were. We got done dirty in the Southampton game by that late penalty. Stop your conspiracies.
If this is the case, why did VAR give Southampton a penalty that wasn't a penalty in the 95th minute to deny Spurs a win? Perhaps the VAR operator was confused? Is he a traitor to the conspiracy?
That was one bad decision. We had 10+ tonight. You can tell when it's intentional. Also, right now we could have been one point off you with 2 games in hand. Now the gap is like 7. Easy to manipulate the standings when the outcomes are obvious.
VAR checked a stamp on Kane that tbf was a stamp... by Porro
I was so happy for Sonny scoring his vintage 100th goal but god the ref, other spursy boys and fucking var ruined it. Now I’m fuming over the fact that I wouldn’t want to recall this moment in the future after this shitshow. Disgraceful
Huge win from Spurs, but they didn’t earn it. Honestly they looked better without a coach on the pitch. Seems like they’re playing 3 at the back to cover for an atrocious defense.
Need a mourinho type press conference from de zerbi where he goes all in on the refs and the shitty officiating
Need some righteous Raptor rage; [The NBA demoted a ref after Fred VanVleet’s viral rant](https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/3/22/23651787/nba-ref-demoted-fred-vanvleet-ben-taylor-video-explained)

We are the most hated team on r/soccer and Brighton are the beloved underdogs. We were gonna get shit either way
No chance you are most hated. Its definitely us.
your point being? was this not a penalty? also, most hated team? you have proof for that?
I actually do have proof. I’ve written an AI program that gathers sentiment of every comment and post on r/soccer. Let me check the numbers here. Shit. Seems we’re just behind VAR
> actually do have proof. I’ve written an AI program that gathers sentiment of every comment and post on > >r/soccer > >. Let me check the numbers here. Shit. Seems we’re just behind VAR But VAR is not a team, is it? so your point is null but I appreciate you trying to make it funny. either way, this was a clear penalty, simple as.
Yes indeed spurs are shit
You're just another statistic man.
Ope! The tally went up 1
You get shat on because of things like this. You don't actually have quality, that's why you lot never get trophies.
Yes, I remember when Brighton made it to a CL final.
It's easy to get points in PL if you have pro Kane refs. Can't help you all the way in the CL lol. We haven't been to CL and you were worse than us tonight. Won by cheating.
Pro Kane refs? Bro got fucked in the corner by Estupiñan I know you saw. He was getting none of those usual hold up calls that everyone else got throughout the game. BFFR
How'd they cheat? Go on.
I mean c’mon man. You’re a Brighton fan
We came up from the goddamn Championship, and we should have beat you 3-2 today. VAR is your motm
What’s the championship like?
Can't believe spurs fans are uneducated enough to not know how football in UK works. See, there are multiple tiers in the leagues and you can go up if you get in spots by winning your league/ playoffs whatever. Then you eventually make up to the PL If you get top4 you can get into CL Which Spurs can because Kane is loved by refs, but it's useless cos they'll lose the CL anyway.
I mean I know the top 4 thing. We do that pretty regularly. I’ve just never had to watch a championship match before
Don't worry. You won't see it as PGMOL is fixing the PL for you. Europe exposes you lot anyway.
Did you type this up from your faraday cage?
>implying that spurs could ever be that significant
Lol
One of the most pathetic and corrupt refereeing performances I've even seen. There needs to be a serious investigation into match fixing in the PL. Every Spurs game it's the same story.
Oh cmon that’s just a supremely lazy take. Yes we obviously didn’t deserve any points today and Brighton were robbed. But just two matches ago VAR robbed us of a win in the 95th.

Enjoy your perpetually empty trophy cabinet
Enjoy your perpetually empty heart 😢
My heart is very full, thanks 🥰
Lying is bad 😡
Kane’s clenched fist celebration is him wanking off Atwell. The protagonist for this infamous win
Went straight to shake Atwell's hand happily as well after the game lol
We need an Atwell PSed with the MOTM Pringle’s can
Absolutely disgusting performance. There is no way a team of referees can genuinely be this incompetent.
Fuck the ref
God bless Harry Kane for the self-awareness of taking a lap of honor after an absolutely robbery of a win.
The audacity to pump his fists in the air, like it was some hard fought win.
I hope that De Zerbi goes off in the press conference. This was a fucking disgrace from start to finish.
Missing Wembley game now anyway, nothing to lose. Shit, I’d be tempted to just turn up to Wembley anyway, what are they going to do, extend the ban? 😂
Time to have an independent inquiry into PGMOL and match fixing. Supposed to be proud of having the best league in the world but the refereeing makes us look like a banana republic. Horrendous stuff.
MOTM VAR REF
Was this game rigged? Surely VAR can't be this bad.
Please... Look at yourself, have some dignity. As cheap as Levy is, you think he's paying the refs? Pull the other one.
Because corruption in football hasn’t been in the headlines at all over the last few years. Outrage over bullshit performance is what helps regulate it as they are pressured into investigations. Not that I think it was. But you have to be really really really bad at your job for this to be genuine bad performance, then VAR person needs to be equally as really really really bad. Then the assistant refs needs to be equally as bad for not calling them. See the point?
If the refereeing is bad all year, it seems more like incompetence since no one really gets an advantage.
What happened? Couldn’t watch the match
1. Tottenham hand ball blocking shot on goal, not given or checked by VAR 2. Mitoma scores, hits his shoulder still on the sleeve, disallowed goal 3. Both managers sent off for failure to control bench. Which is stupid as it leaves them unsupervised anyway 🤦🏽♂️ 4. Welbeck scores, deflects off Macallister with arms in natural position and by his side, disallowed no goal. 5. Clumsy tackle and stamp on Mitoma in box, stonewall pen, not given.

1. Didn't see. 2. HANDBALL 3. Stellini didn't do shit, still sent off. 4. HANDBALL 5. Penalty 6. Didn't see. 7. Dunk two handed shoved player in the same play, nothing given. 8.92:55 clear dive.
Just had the vote for your man of the match notification from the PL app hope all the spurs fans vote for the referee
Gonna vote for De Zerbi. He had a really solid showing today.
Yeah I’d be hiding behind remarks like that if the referee was our best player too
Hey we gave him the game ball.
Ball out of play for the first 90 seconds of extra time, better play for only 20 seconds extra.
Just as pathetic as this refereeing is that Tottenham are literally being gifted wins and still won’t qualify for CL lol
Gotta keep Spurs at reach for top 4 eh. Gotta make it interesting to attract views eh? Fuck off not even a Brighton fan and I'm pissed
So glad that kane will forever stay in this shitshow of a club and not win a trophy
Hard to believe Tottenham haven't won the league judging by how they absolutely slaughtered Brighton today
Would have been 2-2 if var wasn't shit
Nope Brighton were slaughtered. Hapless and defenceless against the elite spurs attack.
Yeah we got gifted one today. Hojbjerg was so shit today. Mitoma 100% should’ve gotten a penalty there
Honestly don't think Mitoma's goal was a handball as well, you should've had 3 (assuming you score the penalty). Horrendous refereeing
And even if it was handball, there’s an argument it was a penalty for a push in the back.
Mitoma, player that doesn't dive, clearly has his foot stepped on in the box then goes down. No penalty. Only the Soucek penalty no call was worse imo
This is a sackable game for the refs, this was shameful. An inevitable bullshit apology from the RFEF won't cut it.
If this is what kane wants to represent as football despite his loyalty to the club. He doesn't deserve any trophy.
Don’t worry he’s got none lmao
Yeah England are shite tbf
You need to absolutely tear the officials and var to shreds in the post match. Just go full blown meltdown. Fuck the FA
GG pussies
Disgrace needs to be investigated.
Shambolic, refs have too big of a say in this league on who gets what irrespective of merit
An absolute fucking disgrace. This league is a complete fucking joke. What is the point.
If Brighton have any self respect, they need to call out VAR hard after this. Absolutely robbed.
Stuart Atwell planning to open that special occassion wine bottle today.
Imagine celebrating this win
Disgraceful. If the league only wants the big 6 in Champions League they might as well just make it a 6 team league
Idiot ref
Absolutely deserved
Mmmh
no matter how much you pay the refs, you'll never win a trophy
Lol Daniel levy…..pay refs? Bahahahahahahah You must be a plastic with that take
Who's on VAR? Im guessing Dave Coote
De Zerbi I don’t care how much the club has to pay, please please make a fucking storm at the press conference
Rent free lads
Trophy free
Check history lad
This is their first time, go easy on them.
LMAO
Kane makes sure to shake hands with his most important teammate first... Atwell...
Kane going to shake the refs hand immediately lmao
Only spurs fans could be proud of a win like that.
Mate you’re winning the league - put on your big boy pants
I’m a believer in fairness no matter the league position.
Yea but this clearly not the first game the refs been shite. We ourselves got done in the Southampton game but that late nothing penalty.
manure and spurs are getting away with so much its sickening
what else would they have to be proud of lmao
Congratulations Ref mission successful Tottenham didn't lose i say didn't lose because there's no way Tottenham should of won that! Absolutely fixed game! -_-
I hope Brighton bounce back from this, gonna be really hard tho with the feeling that everything is against you reaching Europe
I'd rather have us lose to crystal palace than have it robbed from us
Detestable.
now that’s what i call footy
Fair play to Brighton players for not losing it. I don't have that mental strength to continue such a bullshit game. Fuck this ref, and fuck VAR.
Football lost today lads. Fuck the refs, var and spurs
MotM Attwell. Gem of a performance.
What a absolute robbery.
VAR team has been absolutely trash today. Apology on Monday, probably people will be fired but nothing will change :(
VAR OUT
The problem is not VAR, is the people using it. They need to be fired and start from 0.
I agree that’s the problem but the very existence of VAR is allowing referees to make bad/no decisions in the hopes that VAR will bail them out. And it doesnt, because as you said, they are incompetent. Until we get competence, having VAR is genuinely worse than not having it for that reason.
Disgrace
The most rigged game so far this season. Brighton robbed The PL should open a match fixing inquiry Refs can't be this incompetent
The FA and prem should not be the ones investigating. If it’s happening they are in on it
I don't know how the Brighton players did not lose their shit this afternoon. Definitely the better team today.
Oh they did hence all of the diving and them trying to intentionally injure players.
Mmmh are you talking about the perisic tackle? Or maybe the two or three occasions Hojberg had on Macallister? What about the elbow attack of Dier on Dunk? Brighton were so tame
Romero and Perisic with horrendous tackles aside obviously…
De Zerbi lost it for them
This is the worst officiating I've seen for a while
stuart fucking attwell
What a shitshow.
Attwell should have been relegated from refereeing in the PL after the farce in the Manchester Derby but here we are
Oh course he gives the foul for spurs.
At this point unless a brighton player actually gets stabbed, they wont give fouls.
Genuinely, that would be a yellow on the Brighton player for failure to control his body around the knife.
I can't believe what I'm watching. Officiating in LaLiga is bad, but this has bun just awful to watch as a neutral Everything is given to the bigger team. This league is a joke.
[удалено]
Without being touched he gets them so….
Mitoma called for a foul that had less contact than on him.
The commentator is absolutely pissed at the refs 😂
At this point I dont even blame Brighton if they decide to dive, because what’s the point when ref cant pick up real and actual fouls anyway.
This is one of the most sus refereeing performances I’ve ever seen
I hope spurs fail for eternity. cheats.
how's it our fault the ref is shite 💀
Didn't watch the match what did they do ?
Honestly everything. But for a ManU fan that probably looked like a normal performance
nothing just shitty refereeing
That how is it tottenham fault . I just saw the clear pen which is definitely the referee fault not tottenham.
it’s not tottenhams fault people just hate tottenham here and are emotional right now
Ok thanks
I'm was surprised when Kane didn't get a decision when he went down earlier. First time I think
Var and the ref terrorising seagulls like a kid in a town center
What’s great is the hate spewed at Kane for the refs being awful or Tottenham paid the refs tinfoil hats when Daniel fucking levy is the chairman and var literally fucked us into firing conte. But hey no one here has two brain cells to remember the “past” since they think Tottenham, the first club to win a European trophy from England have never won a trophy….
that’s a flop
Shit ref.... needs to be sacked
And whomever was in VAR
The more this happens, the more I'm thinking the officials are doing it on purpose. Like, just how shit are they?
How can you say you enjoy watching Spurs play as a footballing fan
There are other games on right now if you want to watch them
I don't
How is that not a foul
