In this week’s episode of “if that was Romero”, we have Ampadu intentionally leading with an elbow on Maddison.
Not even a yellow or even looked at by VAR - yet we are the ones that apparently benefit from the officiating in this league.
@Kyle091296@swaethfc@iGerLynch Agree; like VDV handball for doing what EVERY CB does when they feel pressure - fall on the ball like a sack of shit. It’s never a foul, but I can count atleast half a dozen times Gabriel’s done it this season.
No favourability - just inconsistency. Awful officiating last night.
@swaethfc@iGerLynch I mean, we (leeds) fell victim to selective refereeing
5cm tolerance for DCL
8 second rule for keepers
Both have been chosen at random when they are implemented its never the actual decisions that hurt
It's the inconsistencies that piss people off.
@andrewMOT@Jonathanlufc64@AwayDaysFB I thought the exact same, looked extremely composed in the A-League with how he communicated with players and allowed the game to flow - confident decision-making, even on big calls. Nothing like that so far since he’s arrived.
@tomackyyy@Jonathanlufc64@AwayDaysFB I used to think this ref was good when he first arrived from Australia but tonight he was appalling and in our experience it’s not the first time this season he’s had a howler
Another horrific decision in the one game tonight ONCE AGAIN favouring Spurs, Richarlison hits Bijol with an elbow leaving a bump on the defenders head, doesn't even get a yellow card and VAR doesn't even bother checking it... Absolutely outrageous how much VAR are doing to ke...
@twill_94 Richarlison elbowing Bijol? Never played football have we?
VDV one definitely wasn’t a foul, never said it wasn’t, said certain clubs/players get that decision, but VDV doesn’t?
You’re forgetting we’re the most harshly penalised club in the league. Ref was awful for both of us.
@tomackyyy Richarlison elbowing Bijol
The VDV one was absolutely not a foul 😂
Gallagher ‘stamping’ down on Stach
He gave you every opportunity to win and you got lucky you didn’t lose
Gillet can’t wait to give Spurs every little free kick
Will forever baffle me how he just has to give them the decision.
- Stach foul missed
- x3 Spurs players fall over = foul
- Darlow x8 second
- clear advantage bought back for a FK
- no yellow for tackle on Amps

@DanielH_LUFC@tuckers35 Well we can, as aforementioned, we did it earlier this season. The point is you’ve said there’s hundreds out there and provided three. Sounds like someone’s exaggerating.
@DanielH_LUFC@tuckers35 You’re 196 short mate. Would also argue one of those isn’t a “beat us with ease” gotcha’s - simply says we CAN beat you - like we did earlier this season.
@tomackyyy@Jonathanlufc64@AwayDaysFB He made some strange decisions. Like when Van De Ven fell onto the ball & picked it up thinking he'd been fouled. That's always a yellow. At least he got the big calls right
@thespursweb I questioned Kinsky’s ability of open-play shot-stopping, but he’s not done anything wrong. Key in building from the back, which a RDZ team requires too.
Right now, he’s better than Vicario, at everything. NEEDS to be first choice beyond this season.
@Jonathanlufc64@AwayDaysFB Woeful officiating - got the pens right (with VAR assistance for Tel’s boot), but apart from that, some poor officiating again. We’ve seen it all season, not sure where this PGMOL/decisions going in the favour of Spurs are coming from - we’ve not won a 50/50 decision all year!
@tomackyyy@AwayDaysFB Ampadu got away with one there, he should have seen yellow just like Richarlison. Officiating wasn’t great tonight for both teams.
@AlexandraLawes@_joe_fox_@TheFootyFeed Ampadu tried to forearm smash Maddison’s face 5mins into his first game back since last season and then clotheslined Porro for good measure
