Lampard out smarting Mourinho with the xmas tree as he did with Nuno earlier in the season

Chelsea 2 up. Crazy from Gazzaniga, but I'm still not sure it's a penalty Alonso just runs into him, he's never getting near the ball.

It's a foul in the box? One of the clearer penalties I'd say

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Son sent off by VAR. Jose about to go nuclear.

Don't necessarily think you can argue against them giving it. I'd just be incredibly annoyed if it was given against us. Alonso runs into him and pushed his hands into Gazzaniga's face both equally guilty IMO.

Son now sent off by VAR, Hmmm!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Crowd are taking the sending off well...

 

[Jack Regan]

Pathetic stuff from the Spurs fans, the increasing petulance from so called football supporters is a little bit worrying.

It's Spurs, who cares.

I don't think passing the buck on racism is the best policy.

Racism?????. Who the duck mentioned racism. I just hate Spurs. Wind your neck in.

There's been confirmed racist abuse toward Rüdiger.

Spurs fans allegedly racially abusive towards Rudiger unfortunately (only come to light after your post though).

 

[ndorsetwolf]

There's been confirmed racist abuse toward Rüdiger.

And if it had been from me I would expect comment. I merely observe that I care not that Spurs are losing' end of.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I made the comment after object-throwing. I had no idea about the extra stuff now being alleged. Bad day for Spurs if that is the case. Really bad day.

 

[jd1981]

To be fair VAR has worked well today.

 

[Jack Regan]

Pathetic stuff, just shown Rudiger stating Spurs "supporters" making monkey sounds at him.

 

[playtheace]

Spurs are fucking rubbish.... Great stuff

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I hate Spurs myself. I have hated them since the womb as I was born 2 weeks after the UEFA cup final second leg!

But, however much I have "football hate" for any team, no feeling like that condones racist actions or indeed throwing of objects at players or officials. It felt like the game had been really cleaned up over the last 25 years but I am beginning to think we are seeing a regression. It will probably get worse with a completely unashamed racist and misogynist inhabiting the corridors of power. Worrying times.

 

[Alan]

We will see it get worse, but it's more like seeing things for how they really are for the first time.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We haven't had monkey sounds in this country (bar at places like the fucking Den) since John Barnes was dodging flying bananas in the late eighties.

It's worrying.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hang on - there was a second PA announcement? Under the FIFA protocols, then the referee should be bringing the teams off there.
