Huth given 3 match ban

[ARM1968]

But it's ok to deliberately walk on someone's hand then Lamela?

And whereas a giant throwing an elbow can cause life changing injury, hair pulling is equally as violent and dangerous?

Oh my days the FA are beyond ridiculous.

Spuds should have been tarred and feathered after Monday night. But no.

It's possible Robert like Marianne as LVG suggested.

[Westerby]

If Spurs had (correctly) seen a few red cards on Monday, the game could eventually have been abandoned due to them having insufficient players on the field.

 

Would the result stand, come under the automatic 3-0 defeat rule, or would they have needed to pull in a replay of a 'void' match?

 

Most likely, the Premier League would 'have used their discretion'.

[AKCJ]

Hold on, have they actually sorted the Monday night game? I was under the impression that was still being dealt with.

 

Only Dembele has been charged.

[Dan]

Only Dembele has been charged.

 

 

Just get proven right about them time and time again. They are an utter embarrassment.

[Kent]

The problem is if the referee says he saw the incident then the FA can't do anything, even if the referee's call was ridiculous.

[filbertway]

So many FA rules are so old and inflexible it's ridiculous. They're applying rules fit for the 90s in a completely different world. County FA's are the worst for it.

 

There needs to be a massive overhaul of rules and procedures in the FA.

 

Every single Premier League game is filmed with about a million camera's. They shouldn't still be relying on the referee's opinion if they have clearly got the decision wrong. Dier's last challenge was enough to be a red card never mind a second yellow.

[Koke]

I'm surprised it took this long for Huth to get banned. He's been at it all season. He planted couple of elbows and forearms on Lallana and that Aston Villa striker. Fellaini is a serial offender when it comes to elbows.

Hair pulling is an offense ever since the incident with the Morecambe players. The FA can't ban them and let Huth off the hook.

[Carl the Llama]

No problem with Huth getting a violent conduct ban for hair pulling.  Forget all this 'Fellaini started it' bollocks - Imagine playing a match and some dude grabs your locks and yanks your scalp back - you'd want him to get a straight red for it.

 

That said the fact that Spurs are only having one player charged when they should have finished the game with about 5 men and their manager sent off is an absolute joke.

[Adster]

Not even a heat of the moment comment from me as I'm too happy with what's happened for me to get genuinely angry, but seriously, our FA are a complete and utter parody of themselves. Some serious movement needs to be made over the summer because it's so far beyond a joke now. Anyone who excuses this is a part of the problem.

 

Serious movements need to be made, yes. But we all know nothing will change at all.

[UPinCarolina]

Wasyl was on Instagram today pumping up the Everton game...I think he'll be ready to give the fans a show. A true professional (aside from the Jagerbombs, I suppose)

I have to say I have absolutely no issue with what Pochettino did, it was sensible to step in and keep them apart. Though everything is so black and white with the FA, I doubt any common sense would be allowed.

[foxy boxing]

The hair pulling is no way as bad as Fellini elbow it looks bad because fellani's hair blocks out the sun. Spurs players not having more players is an absolute joke the fa have bottled it because half of their team is in the England squad guaranteed

[Koke]

So both Huth and Drinkwater will have to do a John Terry on Saturday then.

[Kendal Fox]

So pulling hair is considered the same as elbowing someone in the face or throat?

 

 

I still want to know why the entire Spurs side stayed on the field against Chelsea. I've yet to meet anyone who understands it.   

This is my theory and probably it is no different to many others - Spurs clearly and justly should have been down to 9 players (possibly 8) but the ref purposely condoned their behaviour in order to give them a lifeline ie, possible last minute goal to win 3-2 and keep the race alive. Then, Drinkwater and Huth would be missing for the crucial match against Everton - the pressure on us would have made it very possible of a slip up - draw or even loss - Spurs then would be at home to Saints and would have every chance of taking it right down to the wire of the final day of the season. I cannot for the life of me come to any other conclusion that makes sense.

 

It also seems as if Spurs exit from the title race has allowed them to escape the retrospective punishment they deserve too as Lamela, Walker and Dier also should be banned but nothing!!!

FA clearly benefit in some way or other from the London clubs. Nothing else makes sense. Spurs are the 12th richest club in world football, yet I don't recall any mainstream narrative in support of their title campaign admitting to that!? Rather, they stole our thunder and passed off the "We're a little club too" mantra.

[The Horse's Mouth]

Huth was definitely the Wasyl of last season this year. 

[ARCHER]

His shifts done anyway and a bloody good one at that!

[Kendal Fox]

The other thing that I wonder about is, though he's won the league, will Vardy feel free of bad will and bitterness towards the FA when he goes to France for the Euros and might it affect his performances? Given the way they punished him and have then gone on to disproportionately punish Huth? Either way, he's bound to feel he's been treated badly and is potentially being used as a stooge..

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Unreal when you look at Monday's game... one person from both teams is going to miss games, with all the shit that went on in that. Unreal.

Kyle Walker, two kick outs in two games and absolutely nothing. Lamella treading on someones hand on purpose, nothing.

Indeed

I still think the FA is corrupt irrespective of our title win

[Matt]

I can't really argue against it, we'd all be spewing if another player did it to one of ours.

 

Now what I can complain about and argue (And I guess this is where everyone else is coming from) in Huth's favour is where all numerous Tottenham bans? That is what is a joke, they've got away with no end and Huth get pulled on this.

As daft as it sounds. It wouldn't surprise me if they are hoping we lose our last 2 games and Spurs win theirs, finishing only 1 point behind us and then shouting the "moral victory" from the rooftops...

The fact they are continuing to handicap us and condone Spurs disgusting behaviour points to that. Sounds ridiculous I know, but what else could explain it?

Yep. They obviously benefit from the London clubs in some way.

Think of our games against Arsenal, West Ham and the Utd game, just the day before Spurs played Chelsea?... Our players were given no benefit of the doubt whatsoever whereas Spurs were guilty of a slew of genuine fouls and unbelievably aggressive behaviour, but nothing!??!!!

[Guest CityFan 06]

So, with Drinkwater and now Huth not available, I'm interested to see who comes into the side. My original presumption was King for Drinkwater and Wasyl for Huth. We've got plenty of options though which is good.

[Monsell1976]

If it could be done without upsetting the regulars, it has been talked about the great squad mentality, make wholesale changes, give those with little game time a chance to shine, nothing to lose.

Even if we lose, it won't take the edge of the party

[eastendfox]

Let's be honest he's been on the verge of conceding a penalty or being sent off for violent conduct more than once this season, and thankfully now the next two games don't matter.
