I haven’t seen such a bias ref. There were so many occasions where there should’ve been a penalty or free kick that was never given. What a disaster. What do you guys think?

    Not as bad as Spurs vs Liverpool this season. By comparison there was:

    • one very 50/50 red card which based on previous precedents shouldn’t have been given
    • one absolutely not red card
    • disallowed goal that was clearly onside
    • called a foul by Salah who won the ball fairly as he got into a goal scoring position
    • three Spurs players that never got carded for gesturing to card Liverpool players (2 of which would be receiving a 2nd yellow)
    • about 5 yellows for both teams that weren’t even fouls

    So yeah, no. And don’t even get me started on the ridiculous refereeing in that Barcelona vs Chelsea game 15 or so years ago!

    One or two bad decisions doesn’t make it the worst performance this season.

        I’m a Brentford fan. It was obviously a horrific officiating performance. I have no stake in this. Stop being a cunt.

        You Spurs fans have become insufferable this season

      Exactly.

      Ref did not follow English style of refereeing, after all, but his own country’s after all. Boohoo. It’s part of the international game to know what you are playing at.

      Even the C4 commentary said English players played like shit.

      Malta played to their ability, and were committed to a plan. England did not.

    We’re complaining about a ref in a game we absolutely sucked in against Malta ?

    I already hated international breaks and England under Southgate. But Jesus this is a new low for embarrassing.

    The referee could be De Bruyne in a malta jersey helping their midfield and I’d still expect us to win easily.

    We was shit. That’s it. No one else to blame but Southgate and the useless bunch of twats who aren’t even playing club football getting to represent their country.

    I‘m just confused why the referee thought Kane was diving and gave him a yellow card, when the keeper clearly went for his leg. Did the VAR team collectively go to the bathroom that moment or…?

    Let’s be serious, a midfield of Gallagher, Henderson and TAA gets torn apart by any half decent side. Rashford has been poor all season and sterling should have his place in the squad. And why was trippier right back and Tomori playing left back for the first time in his career when trippier is pretty established as a left back?

    It should have been a walk in the park even if the referee was wearing a Maltese jersey.

    You should’ve seen the joker we (Scotland) had the other night. Not that it really mattered but he was piss poor and regularly fell for some of the worst diving and play acting I’ve seen in years.
