Media noise

So, rather predictably, the noise coming out of the media today regarding Giovani Lo Celso escaping a red card has been deafening.

Where was this noise when Raheem Sterling escaped a red card against Spurs, where was the noise when Andy Robertson escaped a red card against Spurs, where was the noise when Harry Maguire escaped a red card against Chelsea and where was the noise when VVD escaped a red card v Everton, etc etc.?

They love sticking it to Mourinho that's for sure, but when you've got pundits sofas up and down the country awash with former United and Pool players there is no wonder incidents involving those clubs players' bad tackles are quickly forgotten.

I think the noise is around VAR, not because it's a Spurs player.

VAR is good for the game. It clears up a lot that used to get missed in the past. The problem is the failure to pick out clear and obvious errors by Stockley Park.
I hear players and ex players saying they don't want it. Well we maybe wouldn't need it if there was more integrity on the pitch but players will lie through their teeth to claim a throw in let alone the dives for free kicks and pens. All clubs are guilty of this.

Obviously the controversy is about them actually admitting they got this wrong and still not changing it

It's been and gone. We move forward with a plan to stop this happening again and the right decision is made. I accept there will be times where it's not clear and obvious and thats already accounted for. How would everyone feel if VAR interrupt the game 5 mins after an incident was judged upon and the video ref says I got it wrong please issue a red card? I'd say it would be farcical. One things for sure it's not as clear cut as many thought it would be.

lo Celso should have been sent off

It was a red card all day long

The way officials are using V A R is wrong

I don’t get why some of fans get so irate about the media views

With have far bigger problems !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We get irate because of the blatant inconsistency. Apart from the other examples given in this post, there was a bad challenge in the Sheff Utd game but, because they are one of the current media darlings, this incident did not even reach the papers.

Too often there is noise regarding Spurs, particularly after a defeat, when there is nothing but positive press on others, no matter how rubbish they have become in recent years. Eg the fawning currently being seen over Fernandes at Utd. So he has has one good game, so what ? for all the positive they are still only one point ahead of us , when we are having our worst season in living memory. Have lost count of hoe many false dawn's that lot have had.
