While we have been concentrating on the disallowed goals and penalties which weren't given, we have been overlooking the two footed assault on Gross by Perisic for which he was only given a yellow.
As far as I can tell, no VAR interjection to alert the referee of possible red card offence, given the challenge was not under control and could have caused a serious injury to Gross.

That was a straight red challenge. AliMac was lucky not to get one for a stamp as well.

While it's great the club are not taking this lying down what is the intended outcome? A) sacked officials b) replay c) stopping Var . Could see A) but not b or c so not sure how the club benefits.

Why has Howard Webb been drafted in to get the standard up? Why did Lee Mason resign after our Palace game?
I presume it is because the referees realize they are doing a shitty job and there is sufficient pride in their collective profession to trigger them into charging around like headless chickens to find knee-jerk solutions.

Similar level of self awareness that triggered the tories to (eventually) boot out Johnson.

And in both cases, this is applying a sticking plaster to a mortal wound.

Sometimes you have to fire a gun into the sky in the hope it will bring down a few birds. Meanwhile we carry on with our daily business.

Talkshite almost right.

Brighton are not frustrated
Our top four ambitions are neither here nor there
And it isn't 'VAR' it is the nobbers attempting to make use of it

Could you show where I have repeatedly said that heads haven't rolled for the poor decisions? I know one rolled for the decision against us at Palace.

What I have said is that if what happened at WHL had been against a big club, heads would be rolling.
The point is - it wouldn't have happened against a 'big club' though.

Club are subtly reminding everyone that they haven't forgotten. Best view I've seen of the Spurs handball too.

Edit: I'm a doofus and I see this was posted on page one of this thread. Oh well, it's a reminder for anyone too lazy to read the whole thing!!

As it has now gone, what was posted?

I am sure this has been mentioned elsewhere somewhere but the only reason the Mitoma chance becomes a handball yes or no debate is because he is pushed by the back by the Spurs defender and so arrives at the ball slightly early. Without the small push he arrives at the ball slightly later and then it almost certainly becomes a clear chest. In other words I think this should have been considered as a penalty.

This has got tediously obsessive.

Get over it.
I am committed to being the last man standing when it comes to complaining about the officiating of the Spurs game.
The fruitless whinging has only just begun, so buckle up.
