Wonder what recording they'll make up

Kudos to him for getting involved in our fight when every fibre of his being must just want to laugh at us & give us the Always The Victim speech.

No, Goldbridge is not one who would stoop to the victim slurs

But they did, and we received an apology for it. He’s just pointing out the obvious.

He miscounted alright. The ref, the lino who flagged & 2x VAR - it should have been at least 15!

If he claims he was complimenting the home crowd, what could they do?

12th man was the crowd, not the ref? How they can punish him, he's said nothing wrong

This article had a few point I haven't seen elsewhere,

some selected quotes

England cleared the review so quickly and with such confidence he didn't even get the opinion of the assistant VAR. Perhaps that was the issue, it was such a regulation "onside" decision that he thought he would wrap it up. And he said "check complete."

Perhaps the decision was so straightforward that England lost focus and forgot what the on-field decision actually was, because by saying those two words, he's telling the on-field officials their decision is correct. Rather than clearing the goal, he was mistakenly telling the referee the offside call was correct.

What happened next came so fast, there was no time to react within protocol. Just two seconds after the VAR has said "check complete," Spurs took the free kick, which creates a cut-off point. Nothing can be reviewed after a restart. (This doesn't apply to penalties awarded for offences before the half-time or final whistle, as play was still active at the time of the offence.)

Seven seconds later, the VAR team realised their error. Panic set in, but they decided they couldn't go against protocol so they let play continue. But in this situation, where a very serious mistake has been identified within seconds of the restart, football would rather the VAR went against protocol to achieve the fairest outcome for the game. The match should have been stopped.

Not only did the VAR team fail to react, but also the management team, which could have stepped in and told the VAR team to roll the game back.

There was the opportunity to fix it, and it was missed.

It seems like proper procedures weren't followed on a couple of things here or at least there is no procedure of double checking in the system if the VAR assistant doesn't need to be involved or have any input.

He should absolutely go with that

12th man was big Ange, he's so inspirational it's like he is on the pitch with them.

No way Alexis gets done for that, too open to other interpretations.,

You’d hope the suss as absolute **** delay with releasing it, is because they are trying to figure out how they need to deal with the inevitable fallout (in terms of legal repercussions, officials having no choice but to resign etc), all of which you’d think would need to happen pretty fast if the audio is as damning for them as it appears.

I can’t see them creating the audio from scratch, that’s a step too far even for this crazy dimension we’ve slipped into. And I can’t see them being stupid enough to release a heavily redacted version that leaves no questions answered (or doesn’t back up their original statement, leaving even more questions).

Reckon it’s just them knowing how ****ed they are, putting a strategy in place on how to preserve the PGMOL status quo (figuring out what concessions they can stomach with future transparency) and deciding if they can get away with just one or two of them resigning.

In the end we could see 5-6 names having to resign for this out of gross negligence or worse in order to save the rest of the racket.

Alisson made a couple of "for the camera" saves. But otherwise, Spurs looked impotent and we had a couple of counters that Nunez would have loved to be involved in.

They were going in if it weren't for Alisson's positioning and prowess. I don't think he could have made those saves in any other way.
