Quote from: J70 on March 10, 2026, 08:56:30 PMFeel terrible for the keeper.

I don't.

He's the worst goalkeeper I've ever seen at Spurs (some accolade). Has not one single attribute that marks him out as a top flight keeper. And to top that his concentration is abysmal.

He'll be able to retire when his contract is up. And then maybe find something he's good at to do with the rest of his life.

Managers fault for putting him in there then.

Yep.

And the scouts who picked him up.

Vicario has been absolutely shocking all season though. You'd expect your 2nd choice keeper to be able to come in and do a job.

FFS he's a 22 year old young lad. Human. With pride and feelings. Just fucked up on a massive stage, probably the biggest game of his life so far. I don't care how much money he's making, he's surely someone hoping to succeed at the highest level ans he's just blown a huge opportunity in an extremely public manner.

He has a guaranteed contract of about £7m.

Personally I find it impossible to have empathy / sympathy for anyone in this situation.

The life they're so lucky to lead isn't "human".

A Barcelona penalty with the last attack of the game costs Newcastle a 1-0 win.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

So at what age can you criticise an experienced player for taking a shit with his clothes on?

Probably not on his debut in a massive game. And you at least acknowledge him on the way off.

It's not his debut. Wasn't even his Spurs debut. He is about 100 games into his career, most of it in the Czech top flight. You are making it sound like he was a 17 year old thrown in the deep end.

Feck right, had read elsewhere it was his debut for Spurs. First mistake bad but could probably happen anyone, second was brutal.

Spurs have bigger problems than him either way.

I don't disagree that it was brutal, but hauling him off was probably the right move. Do you wait until it's 8-0? Hard to see him coming back. I wonder will a Karius style story be put out - he was actually injured or somesuch

Evidently European referees aren't big into the maul situations Premier league teams favour at corners.

Liverpool had a goal disallowed due to Konate handling a ball he knew nothing about (hit is upper arm) in a melee from a corner and it didn't go directly in either, bounced off the keeper onto Van Dykes heel or something and spun in.

Newcastle were pinged a few times for pushing and shoving at corners as well.

Not a good night for the Premier League teams in general.

So European referees enforce the rules...

Didn't McAllister have a goal chalked off for just that v Forest a couple of weeks ago?
