SPURS 2 REREREE 3
Were you impressed with the referee last night? Was the Cameron Carter-Vickers handball a penalty? Those decisions can go for or against you, this time it was against, but for me when you make a decision like that you have to be even more consistent in your decision making, if that is possible, to ensure you are not accused of favouritism.
You decide something isn't a penalty, then you go to the half-way line to get the ball so you can award one, even the Roma players didn't know what was going on.

Having spent almost 5 years living in New Jersey, the most corrupt state in the USA, and, given the size of the Italian population living there that referee’s decisions come as no surprise…’nuff said.
The Kane penalty incident was so blatant it was untrue and the referee was well placed to see it, right behind the action. Kane got there first and ex-Tottenham defender Fazio put his leg across him to stop him. A clear and definite penalty.
Then we had Pochettino sent to the stands, then we didn't, then we did, then we didn't. There seemed to be total confusion as he lost a grip he never had on the game. I think he thought the crowd was there to watch him and he was one of the stars.
I am always concerned when a referee makes dramatic gestures when issuing a free kick. Legs apart, body lent forward, arm outstretched, he held the pose early in the game when issuing a free-kick to Spurs outside the Roma box. It was a statement I'm in charge, a statement to the crowd, a statement of an ego, a statement of trouble to come.
Just like inexperienced players have to learn from their experiences or players playing against better opponents from many divisions above learn, so a referee officiating against two better teams than he is used to and a different level of ability, not least when they want to commit a foul, also has to learn.
Blinking American referee that probably knows more about baseball than proper football. Joke! Despicable!
I'm not anti #MLS, but it won't be able to call itself a 'top' league until it raises refereeing standards. This guy is crap
The ref has his mortgage on Roma winning this friendly
