Vertonghen's Reaction

Philspurs - Vertonghen-cheek

I just don't see it, I didn't see Vertonghen go to ground as the result of a kick, I saw his feet get tangled and tripped?






You saw it exactly as I, and a lot of others saw it. It probably was not a red, but no way did Verts theatrically go to ground. He was kicked, end of.

Well played Verts, won us the game that little incident

I think that Ramirez knew exactly what he was doing, and whilst it wasn't a particularly violent act he was in my opinion trying to get a reaction from Verthongen that might have resulted in Verts being sent off.

Bruce's reaction was typical, it was a stupid action by his player & he glosses over it by claining Verts over egged the pudding, rolling around as if he was pole axed.

Verthongen did not do that, he was on his feet quickly shrugging his shoulders at Ramirez and his petulant behaviour!

It was a red card offence and Vertonghen was simply kicked and tripped up, I saw no over reaction, rolling around or holding his face on his part.

The pundits were just disappointed that Spurs won 3 points, the majority are desperate for Spurs to fail after Levy sacked their uncle Harry and so will nit pick wherever they can.

Hull were lucky to not have Livermore red carded also for a shocking tackle.

Ramirez got what he deserved, in the first half he was rolling around feigning injury when Spurs were on the attack, forcing us to kick the ball out of play. Miraculously, Ramirez was back on his feet just 10 seconds later.
