As a Liverpool fan i’m not inclined to side with Chelski, but that was absolute robbery yesterday. Better side by a mile. What is VAR there for if not to catch stuff like hair pulling. It’s a joke. Too many people in control, who have never played the game.

[@judechauhan6715]

I as a Spurs fan have to say I agree, we got stomped and I'm not complaining about the fact we pulled of the heist if the century for a point, did it at Leicester, did it at Ajax, did it at Chelsea. We have had so many times we've been robbed by ref's or VAR but if we don't all hold it to the same standard then we can't expect it to improve. It's purpose is to overturn wrong decisions or to have the referee review previous incidents. If it wasn't doing that then WHAT WAS IT DOING??? Still, believe it or not it wasn't just Spurs getting away with stuff, felt like the ref was almost overcorrecting his bias from the noise of the bridge because so many times he made terrible calls and it happened for both sides. Still I don't want to entirely blame him because once again WHERE IS VAR???

[@alexbelotti1603]

Too much money being made. There’s no coincidence

[@IamAnarkee]

Although I agree Chelsea were the better team by a mile & deserved to win, but VAR doesn't step in to correct all decisions within the game. The hair pulling was checked for violent conduct, which it isn't as per the current law. I think, the Richarlison decision was a definite offside though, because the keeper has to factor in a deflection from Richarlison before diving for the original shot.

[@LeeTAZ-sl7de]

You cant blame the ref for missing the hair pulling, if you watch the replay from behind the goal you can see he's looking at the ball at the near post. The blame goes to VAR for not checking it and advising the ref to go over to the monitor. That being said Chelsea did fail to defend the corner. The first goal is a clear offside, Mendy has his weight on his left leg having to look around Richarlason, who's directly in the vision of the keeper, the ball goes to his right which is why hes so slow to dive as he has to redirect his weight to go the oppersite direction. Plus the minute Richarlason moves his body so the ball goes around him he becomes active which is what I thought was the rules of offside.

[@dmacca80]

I don't understand how any of the Spurs goals can be determined to be favours from Anthony Taylor or there's been an Anthony Taylor agenda against Chelsea in this game. The tackle on Havertz was questionable or a certain foul from the initial tv angle as I wondered how Bentancur had got away with that, however if you see the replays from the referee's angle its not a foul...clearly got the ball hence the play carried on. The Spurs goal that goes in 45 seconds later (if its going to be ruled out) has to be ruled out by the linesman or VAR for interference / obstruction from Richarlison. Neither of which happened so nothing to do with Anthony Taylor. Likewise the Cucurella / Romero incident is a foul / red card which I can only assume that Taylor hasn't seen as he's probably watching the flight of the ball, so again the referee has to be reliant on VAR. The fact that the replay of that incident was shown multiple times before the next corner was taken would suggest that VAR were checking it but they didn't invite the referee to check it himself via the monitor. Again... ultimately nothing to do with Anthony Taylor. If there are questions to be answered it's perhaps around VAR Spurs were fortunate for the point, Chelsea were unlucky not to take all three but that is football. As everybody knows these things tend to even themselves out over a season.

[@claudemakelele2856]

Seems to be too much coincidences when it concerns us and Anthony Taylor.

[@ThatGuy-tx4vm]

Thing is anthony taylor is ALWAYS involved when these things happen vs chelsea. Id wager that VAR notified him of all and he said no. Either that or it is actually the FA that plans these robberies in advance(which i believe). Why else would taylor be refereeing chelsea every time they have a big game knowing their past? There is something fishy here. Corruption can be found in any walk of life in every single country and society, but somehow professional english football is clean?? The serie a wasn't... The premier league isn't either and it is high time refs paid for their crimes

[@johnharvey1786]

Cucurella was trying the face towards and hold the opponent rather than face the ball. This was outlawed some time ago. This was before Romero pulled him down so if the ref had seen it then it’s a penalty and then possibly then a red card for Romero for retaliation if it was deemed serious enough although Cucurella wasn’t hurt. James foul on Kane late on when already on a yellow was a close call for a second yellow not mentioned and Spurs didn’t make a fuss just got on with it. Chelsea also glossed over the push in the back of Kulu when they won the ball for their second goal and again no whinging from Spurs.

[@thelittleowl1]

finally someone intelligent here! its shocking how many people actually think he hates chelsea. the reason he gets so many big games involving clubs such as chelsea is because he is such a good referee. that said, the romero incident shouldve been red. also the first spurs goal i honestly think stands. as for the goal (im a spurs fan so im going to be a bit biased) i personally believe should stand. richarlison is too far to have any impact and mendy has a clear line of sight to the ball. as for the foul i personally think its a great tackle and bentancur clearly gets the ball. its too far back to rule out tho.

[@dmacca80]

@@thelittleowl1 it's probably not obvious from my post but I'm a Spurs fan too. I think football fans at times (not specifically Chelsea fans I must add) struggle to look at games objectively and likewise the incidents within games in isolation so come to the natural conclusion that there's an agenda in play due to some sort of history with a given referee. However that's not to say that all referee's are unbiased and honest in each game but I genuinely didn't see anything in this game that suggested Taylor was playing up and favouring Spurs over Chelsea.

The Chelsea fans crying over that first goal is pathetic. It wasn't even a foul on Havertz, and Richarlison wasn't interfering with play and if they could defend a corner properly they'd have won the game. Stop whinging.

[@jevoncarballo6027]

It’s okay to agree as a spurs fan that Chelsea outplayed us. Not every battle will be easy even for the best teams (eg psg, Chelsea, Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the champions league). What fans appreciate is the improvement in the mentality and work rate. We really didn’t lie down and get beat we worked hard to get a draw when we would have usually lost it

Have you heard the word 'Competivity' before? This must be a New word of the day by Simon Jordan for competitiveness.

[@keeptheblueflagflyinghigh]

Jordan is wrong. Because the spurs player is standing there in an offside portion the keeper doesn’t know if he we’ll touch the ball so it prevents him committing 100% to the dive.

[@carlosnunes929]

Completely disagree with Simon Jordan especially when he said the cliche line: “Refs make bad decisions”…. I’m tired of hearing the same crap over and over again. Why was VAR brought in?? TO HELP REFS and other officials make better decisions. I’m convinced Anthony Taylor witnessed Cucurella getting his hair pulled but if he didn’t see it which is also acceptable as he is human and might’ve been paying attention to something else, it’s then VAR’s job to make sure that they tell Taylor that it’s a foul and a red card and that he can check the monitor if need be but VAR didn’t even do that. Stupid and incompetent officials.

A calculated move by FA. Another one was manning VAR, Mike Dean, both with same mission, to destroy the game by punishing Chelsea for no offense at all. No punishment will go Mike Dean's and Anthony Taylor's way, you will see. FA is busy now looking for faults on TT's speech and leave out the main culprits, Anthony Taylor and the one manning VAR Mike Dean. FIFA, see the kind of refs you gave your budge authorizing them to destroy such good games. You take Anthony Taylor to FIFA world cup to do this???? Terrible

spurs came out and said it was an emotional game, that wasnt spurs playing there we both know that. they can bring alot more than that but bc it was chelsea there was alot more emotion and pressure wanting to get something from the game. i reckon we have closed the gap, last season we beat city twice and drew to liverpool twice. we took a combined 10 points from them last season. we are still well within reach.

[@petercupp7600]

The no action taken by either the ref or VAR regarding the hair pulling needs sorting out. Many people saying nothing was done because they weren't involved in the play due to the ball being nowhere near them. So what's to stop midfielders etc from going around pulling opponents by the hair during games when the ball is nowhere near them, will they be carded and fouls given? Everyone, regardless of which team you support would be shouting for a penalty if it was the other way around so why wasn't it called out as a foul and free kick to Chelsea? Be interesting to see how many players start pulling the hair and getting away with it until rules get changed!!

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Remember when there was a big hit on shirt pulling in the box at corners? Stoke used to get hammered on that when we were in the Premier league. So why not the hair pulling? Also, would it be stamped on in the women's game?
