This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Watford v Spurs was tough to watch by spade

Ref made a decision early to rule no penalty along touch line...which led to another no-call against Vertonghan later which was much more of a foul, but still borderline....which led to another no call penalty later in the game, which was less of a foul but more of a foul than original no-call that precipiated the no-calls.

Also, the shoulder/bicep goal from Dele Alli was the best VAR no-overrule decision made all day in the match. The others decisions seemed like a punt. And STILL the ref called goal and pointed to center-spot while the screens showed NO GOAL. How much more screwed up can you get. It took another 60secs to realize what was the decision.

It's really hard to be a EPL ref. That's a job I don't want. I didn't see the other games.
