The Soccer Thread (Version 11)

This is a first in my experience. Newcastle tied Tottenham at the death on a VAR-award penalty that was sketchy to the max and NEWCASTLE manager Steve Bruce said it was a horseshit call.

 

The change to the handball rule is horrendous. Basically defenders need to have their arms glued to their sides if they aren't going to give up a million PKs.

And here’s the opposing coach telling Donovan that slurs are a part of the game.

 

Team owner weighs in:

 

Donovan said after the match was ended that the official admitted to hearing it, but didn't know what the word meant since he didn't speak that language.

 

Jesus just 31 seconds for a penalty for Man U

 

And Yakety Sax plays as Spurs go level in 4th minute

 

Manchester U went from winning a penalty at 31 seconds to having a man sent off and trailing 3-1 inside of 30 minutes. Good lord.

 

That’s a borderline job losing performance so far for Ole. At least I hit my first goal bet on Bruno.

 

Villa Park would have been insane today had fans been allowed. 7-2 over the defending champions, absolutely unbelievable. Hopefully won't need another miracle to stay up this year.
