Up The City! Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I had a lot of respect for Spurs, I admired the way they play, I admired that they give young players a chance, but after watching that game I have absolutely zero respect for them anymore. Bad bad bad losers. The thought of little old Leicester beating them to the title clearly drove them insane. Absolutely no need for their behaviour tonight. Purely disgusting and I for one am super glad they will not be champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much doubt we will see anything like this again for a very long time. Leicester winning the Prem is Real Roy of the Rovers stuff. An absolutely spectacular achievement. Well done to them. Be interesting to see how they kick on from here - they certainly have the cash to make a lasting impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it was a difficult game to officiate. Any referee would have found it hard going. The players weren't helping matters at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunnyfunt Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'd be feeling fairly short changed as a Chelsea fan to be honest. I mean where has that determined performance been all season? So when it comes to stopping Spurs winning the league they suddenly turn it on. Poor show imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an abandoned game due to 6 reds or however many it takes for that. Refs are not simply there to apply the rules of the game, they are also there to keep the show on the road and make sure the most important objective is achieved: the maximisation of consumer interest, value for advertisers and commercial partners, and thus financial profit.

They lost it big time and so glad they did not get the title. But they will learn and be thereabouts next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand missing Walkers little flick out on Costa, but Dembele's gouge on Costa and the stamp on Fabregas's hand by an already booked Lamela were directly in front of the lino and he bottled it both times. Rose and Dier were poor mistakes by Clatenberg Rose should have been booked for his first foul and sent off for the foul and subsequent clash with Willian and Dier already booked should been booked for a 2nd time for another bad foul.

Dave Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I would have thought that every player who got sent off at the weekend will be appealing their dismissal with a video of this game as evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, Clattenberg would then have had to abandon the match. Seven players per team is the minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of refereeing appears to now be done retrospectively, via the use of tv replays. Players will be punished from last night and will miss games coming up. But those games to come will have, or at least start with, 11 v 11, and the game last night was 11 v 11. This is important. If last night had seen 3 Spurs sent off and Chelsea cantered to an easy win, the spectacle is diminished. Instead, we had a gripping encounter, a real contest, with the outcome undecided until the final whistle, plus numerous talking points. And the tills keep ringing.

Enjoy your sky sports subscription. To be honest I just can't help willing on whoever are in second place!! Something about watching a team reel a lead back in that I find exciting. Basically Leicester have been top for so long that I found myself wanting teams to chase them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Do think Spurs will get a fine for last night. First team in PL history to get 9 yellows. In a way part of Chelsea's game plan was to drag it into a brawl and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted May 3, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The thing with the referee if he hadn't bottled giving a firmer punishment for those that went unpunished it was a clear indicator to those on the pitch that he was going to let things go If he'd red carded one of the earlier offences who is to say they may not have been a bit more cautious - but then again if they ended with 9 men etc it happens (as we know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FA are consistent as per last few weeks, there will no doubt be some retrospective punishments and bans being delivered to WHL. Any team to get over 5 bookings in a match automatically get a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Last night was a classic example of referee not punishing early challenges properly, and the players realising this and almost treating it as a free for all. He lost control. Drinkwater got sent off on Sunday and he should get the fair play award and not a red card, if his offences were compared to last night.

Alex_BCFC Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I thought ref did OK in very unusual and difficult circumstances. But how he didn't go back and book Dier for his 2nd horrible challenge I've no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, I think Chelsea were a total embarrassment, they got back to 2-2 and then just wasted time,took the ball into the corner etc etc. If they were 3-2 up I could understand it, surely winning the game should have been more important than just trying to stop Spurs from keeping the title race open.

They made no denial of wanting to stop them winning the league. I guess that was illustrated on this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 the game was like the 2010 World Cup final Spain v holland where Howard Webb bottled sending off de Jong, after that he had lost control of game, thought ref last night did the same. Should have been more firm with players early in second half . Love the stat in last 13 mins spurs had no shots on goals but 4 yellow cards, then completly lost the plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
