Dortmund blame the ref


GROUP H


The official Twitter account of Borussia Dortmund is blaming the referee for the defeat last night, when in truth both sides could have scored a hatful. It was a very entertaining game, not a cagey stalemate like many a game one has to endure.

Dortmund were brilliant last night, got to be honest at half time I feared the worst, but we were brilliant 2nd half and fully deserved win

I think Micky summed up how many a fan felt at the time, they looked very dangerous and were quality going forward, but you have to defend as well and while we rode our luck at times, we should have been more clinical in front of goal, especially in the second half when we had some glorious chances.


Having said that, Tottenham ended a 12 game unbeaten run for Dortmund last night, currently they sit top of the Bundesliga above Bayern Munich.





Some people just don't like Spurs do they, the folk on Radio 5 Live, who included Phil Neville were saying Harry Kane must leave Spurs to prove he is world class, why? Why can't a club improve, why can't Spurs overtake other clubs by growing?

Harry Kane's game by numbers vs. Borussia Dortmund:
100% aerial duels won 
6 shots 
4 clearances 
4 chances created 
2 take-ons 
2 goals1 assist

While we already regularly finish above Liverpool, they still have more money than we do and can pay higher wages than we do. In 2015/126 they paid over £100m more wages than us, which was basically the difference between our incomes. That approach hasn't worked for them, yet it is the one anti-ENIC and anti_Levy fans call for.

If we did that now, we wouldn't be able to afford to build the stadium, we simply wouldn't be able to afford the loan payments. Which would you rather have right now, an even better team with no new stadium or the current wage structure with the team we have assembled and our transfer policy plus a new stadium?

For any sensible Spurs fan the answer is obvious, one sets us up for future trophies on a regular basis. I fail to see why everyone isn't fully behind what we are doing at Tottenham, it can only be because of a prejudice or because they simply don't understand the football business, it ceased to be just a sport over 40 years ago.

  1. If you're Dortmund you expect even more bias from the ref than they got on the night. The commentator made me laugh when he said they could have been two-all after they had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside. I suppose they meant in the hypothetical situation where that one mistake hadn't happened, but all the others stood just as they were.

    Let's see. There was a howler by the same assistant ref that allowed them through just a few minutes prior to their disallowed goal (Such an obvious offside). There was the goal they actually scored, after a build-up that included a pass to a player that was offside. There were two very blatant decisions when they played the ball off once to get a corner and earlier to get a GK. How many times was Harry Kane blatantly fouled to a level where a Yellow was required? How many times was he fouled in the build-up to his first goal? There was also, of course, the disgraceful ignoring of a disgusting challenge on Sissoko, followed b…
