Think we escaped on that one ....

Bogle - red all day long
Longstaff disappeared in the second half
AO was brilliant - should not have been subbed

But we finally took a game to the opposition in the second half, and it was going to take something a bit special

3 points

MOT

Right call from Farke for me.
Ao work ethic & heart never questioned,where as his football intelligence at times isnt in the same league, absolutely right call from manager.

2nd half is the template we need.

Little caveat.

Longstaff, no more corners.

Woeful at them.

Big morale booster today.

Agreed re Bogle decision but about time a VAR decision went our way CA.

Am I the only one who believes VAR got the Bogle decision spot on?!

An excellent 3 points before the IB. Agree regarding Longstaff, out on his feet after 60 mins, and not a corner taker. AO, great game, but he did get a knock before he was hooked. Okafor, what can I say, great impact, if we could get him to do it for 90 mins, great.

What I am pleased with is team spirit seems good. Overall a great result against one of the billy big bo**ocks teams. Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Are we on the right club forum here ?
Wtf, makes me wonder whether some fans on here were booing Bogle after his foul.

Definitely a card though Brighty

Poro's yellow card was a disgrace, soft as Ben White that was.

What Spurs sympathizers on here fail to see is that Bogles intent was to go for the ball with his right foot but Tel had turned rapidly and Bogles left foot unintentionally clipped the back of his foot.
I'm pretty sure that's why VAR didn't give it.

Christ when I think of all the horrendous fouls on our players in the past that went unpunished and a lot of the conversation here is that Bogle should've had a red card.

It was a yellow card at worst.

Jaysus give me strength.
Tanaka, by a country mile the best midfielder on the pitch today and get's subbed, is levels above Longstaff and even our over rated captain.
Football intelligence? If that means pointing to your team mates to pass back every time or getting dispossessed numerous times then Tanaka is poor.

Personally I like his non stop tackling and closing down. Oh and he is by far our best forward passer from midfield.

Bogle should have been a yellow. Stepped into tackle rather than forceful, but slow mo makes it look bad so I expected a red.
Porro, no card or foul or anything, that was a good tackle.


We should have had a penalty though (would have been wrong decision though) as VAR did NOT have access to the angle that cleared showed it hit the shoulder first, views they had looked a clear penalty.

I don't think anyone here is booing bogle - but his challenge was careless, so again we escaped one today - MOT.

But I think someone isn't happy because your view is different to his

Actually your a closet spurs fan CA- White
Come on he's outed you,,?

It's got to be the case,your a London sympathizer ?.

I honestly don't think it was careless CA,, these things always look a lot worse and even intentional in slo mo, then of course everyone is repeating in the media what a terrible foul it was, so that everyone is brainwashed into believing it was.
It wasn't a foul in my opinion and for a change VAR got a decision right.

13.) 08 Nov 2026
08 Nov 2026 01:22:27
OP we are all allowed to have our opinions, in my case being a ref it was careless and caused injury.

CC I think thou protest too much

I do like London and when I'm there always stay in St. James and I do enjoy a nice pint of black sheep when I can get it. But support of any other team - nah been supporting since 1970.

" Spurs sympathisers" ?? What's all this tomfoolery meltdown nonsense OP?.

I concur 100% with our ref CA White' s comments re Bogle's dangerous injury inducing tackle.

I'm not sure on that one. Lack of intent would see me say not a red. Booking maybe.

Ah here we go again, it's little ol' me insisting that posters change their opinion to what I say.
Where is it that I'm saying you can't have your opinion ?
Good for you if you think Bogles foul was a red card, I'm just replying to your post stating I don't think it was a red card and the reasons why.
It's called debate, in simplified terms someone posts an opinion and another agrees or disagrees with a response.

Baz just agrees with anyone who says the opposite to me, but a least he gets it, it's just banter mate.

By the way I love London, I don't like London football clubs though and I think quite a number of us on here have supported Leeds as young boys since 1970, except Baz he's supported Leeds since 1919.

I agree it wasnt a red. At first I thought it was but then saw that Bogle was looking at the ball the whole time - no intent at all and it was not a two footed challenge. Just landed in an unfortunate place for Tel.

VAR can not intervene and suggest a yellow card unless it is a second one and lead to a sending off. If the ref had been asked to go to the monitor the outcome would have been a red card unless he made the unlikely decision to go against VAR.
A yellow would have been appropriate but under the current system not available.


Recently there have been a few of these type of tackles resulting in red cards where a yellow might be justified. VAR may have concluded that they'll take a more lenient view and only intervene when the player is out of control and dangerous, which Bogle wasn't.

So for once recently I disagree with OP ?.

It's true that bogle didn't intend to foul tel. The problem with that interpretation is that the rule (rightly for me) doesn't have any intent wording there. If there is potential to injure the opponent, which obviously happened as Tel was unable to continue then that is criteria enough for a red. It's very similar to how balogun got sent off for a tackle on Gary at the world cup. Zero intent. Doesn't matter. Doest even matter that it was his standing leg. It's an unfortunate coming together. But still a red card.

Fair enough Ealing, but would you agree with the clear hand ball which should have been a penalty for us which no one talks about !

21.) 08 Nov 2026
08 Nov 2026 16:43:50
100% what Ealing said.because it's actually correct OP. zero intent doesnt matter.

22.) 09 Nov 2026
08 Nov 2026 19:52:40
So with no intent still means a red card then Baz ? and the official arbitrators decided it wasn't a red card
I'm so glad now that I've got it from the real official sources mouth. ?.
