Leicester first goal scored at 49 mins and second goal scored at 48 mins!

Edit: VAR rules it out

Its been a while since I've listened to a commentary game on Newstalk but I was just in the car there for a bit.

How are people here pronouncing Ndombele?`I always go with the Uk commentators and just straight out as it looks, but the 2 lads are going full En-dom-bellay

That's how I have always heard it pronounced.

Var joke. His feet look two yards onside but his fingernail is off

davycc · 20-12-2020 03:23PM

Madison var offsi

citytillidie · 20-12-2020 03:24PM

Why was Son not like that on Wednesday night

De Bhál · 20-12-2020 03:25PM

Var is a joke really

davycc · 20-12-2020 03:25PM

Gio off Moura on super sub coys

Lads,

Where did the Leeds and United rivalry stem from?

SlickRic · 20-12-2020 03:29PM

You play Aurier, you run that risk.

Spurs were as solid as ever, with Leicester offering little, but have been screwed by stupidity.

Tough ask now against a team that won't keep a line quite as high as Liverpool's.

Yorkshire v Lancashire. Fans have clashed previously at games too. Intense enough.

Two rival cadet branches of the House of Plantagenet

The War of the Roses, Lancashire and Yorkshire is historical but football was very tribal back in the 70's when both were bigish clubs.

PsychoPete · 20-12-2020 03:34PM

Haven't even fully got to Christmas yet and Spurs have already bottled any chance of winning the league

SlickRic · 20-12-2020 03:35PM

2-0.

Ah José.

Just wanna say the VAR check for Spurs' equaliser is EXACTLY how they should be done, it's just unfortunate that we all know we're barely a week away from seeing another goal ruled offside after 5 minutes of scrutinising over a shoulder being an inch off.

I hate to say I told you so

Guy:Incognito · 20-12-2020 03:36PM

Kane should have been pushing that left instead of taking the shot imo

Cheers lads, I had no idea where it actually came from and was chatting about it last night. Never really knew why

I was like, must be cause Cantona went to United :pac:

SlickRic · 20-12-2020 03:38PM

Basically, Son and Kane haven't been as exceptional as they've been all season, so the system just kind of peters out a bit.

They changed the rules , regarding an accidental hand ball ( which is not a foul ) in the buildup to a goal meaning it won't count. They have to change the offside rule.
If your feet are onside you are ruled onside, that's it .
Doesn't matter if you score with your head, shoulder or arse , if your feet are on ,you are!
This toenail sh1t has to be fixed.
Maddison had a great goal ruled out because his shoulder was millimetres ahead. BS

Completely agree. It's a mockery. I'm sceptical about how they draw those lines as well.

so he was off and its grand?

Lets be honest, youll be giving out when its just his feet and thats a close call too.

Can Gareth Bale run anymore or was he brought back to hit long range self indulgent free kicks?

Harry Kane running around like a mad man, he's shattered when he does get on the ball. Bale is walking about.

mayordenis · 20-12-2020 03:56PM

Good to see Bergwijn getting the 'what have you done for me lately' treatment

He was

He's actually been poor over ninety minutes for a few games now, but one or two lethal moments a game are covering up a bit

Just get rid of VAR. Linesmen are trained to make the decision so let them do it. Sometimes they'll be right and sometimes they'll be wrong. But the decision will be made instantly.

Hes a golfer. They walk everywhere.

For 100 years linesmen have missed offsides, it just wasnt scrutised and people accepted it.

Its just not possible for a person to watch 5 or 10 seperate players, as well as another one with the ball anywhere from 0 to 60m away or more all at the same time to determine exactly when they are hitting the ball and where all those players are. It's educated guesswork.

PsychoPete · 20-12-2020 04:02PM

I like Vardys penalty taking style, just smash it and none of the stuttering or little hop nonsense

Agent Coulson · 20-12-2020 04:05PM

From joint top of the table at 8pm last Wednesday to what could be 5th by 6:30pm on Sunday that won't have been a good few days for Jose.

The park the bus and hit on the counter can't count on deflected goals, headless chicken defending, OG's and 90th minute bullet headers and the only two attacking players form dropping off.
