6 added minutes!

Part of the application process to be a VAR ref must be failing an IQ test. VAR should be good for the game but seems to be almost exclusively run by dribbling morons.

[Highlandmagar]

Very enjoyable game.

[Cheese]

With Jeff Stelling calling it a day, it would have been the perfect opportunity for Martin Tyler to also step down.

Shame.

[senorsoupe]

Good game, 2-2 was a fair result but the ref was awful

The VAR team have had a shocker of a weekend.

Zhaka going unpunished yesterday.
Newcastle's non penalty.
Kane getting away with a yellow.
If Kane was only worthy of a yellow, then so was Robertson's challenge.

Here come P&B Tartan army gonks rushing to defend Robertson.

They aren't defending Robertson. They are only pointing out the sheer inconsistency of the red card for hom and a yellow for Kane. Maybe think before you make a tit of yourself.

[Sarto Mutiny]

Robertson deserved to be sent off, and was. Kane deserved to be sent off, and wasn't. That's it.

There’s not a problem with VAR, there is a huge problem with how VAR is used.  Spurs should have been playing with 10 men for 76 minutes.

VAR is such a clusterfcuk that anyone suggesting Willie Collum and Co should be anywhere near it too should be slapped across the face hard and often.

Aye. you see all these clear errors with VAR in England and it makes you think which clubs in Scotland are most likely to benefit from it. They already have 1 chance to give the OF everything. We don't need to give them a second chance.

[velo army]

Purely on the basis that I do that in fives every second game there's no way that Robbo's is any worse than a yellow.

Game's gone etc.

Harry Kane on the challenge: "I haven't seen it back". The stupid fucker committed the actual foul [emoji23]

Blatant dive from Dele there not even close to being a penalty, have no idea about the hand ball I thought if it hit your hand at all in the build up to a goal it didn't count, assume this has changed at some point. 

It has changed - now only comes into play, if goal scored immediately, which wasn’t the case here

Missed the Newcastle game, but I presume the guy who suffered the serious head injury that left him dizzy for 4 minutes the other night didn't play due to concussion protocols?

Don’t be silly!

Second look at the Kane tackle, yeah that should have been red

Shame the refs don’t get a second look! Wait - they do!!

I screamed red card on first view BTW

PGMOL have said it wasn't a penalty because Cancelo came away with the ball. Free reign now just to take the opposition out off the ball.

If that’s true, it’s complete BS

[peasy23]

Fair play to Jamie Redknapp after the game for making the point that the England captain gets treated more favourably than other players.

[Satoshi]

It was mentioned on MOTD too, Shearer brushed it off, clearly a bit embarrassed. Sure he remembers the time he got off stamping on Neil Lennon's head by threatening to retire from international football, Kane doesn't even need to make the threat - England internationals have always been privilaged and the captain even moreso. Despite his rep as a model pro he's always been a bit of a dirty b*****d, and one of the main culprits of the very dangerous backing in when the other player is mid air (someone will get seriously hurt by this eventually).

Not much to add other than both are reds, and Kane's is quite a bit worse. The motd2 commentary was astonishing though, after the challenge the commentator said the free kick was for a Kane handball and was then bemused he got a yellow for it - truly a wtf moment.
