Chelsea and Tottenham tied 2-2 in a chaotic derby.
After the match, Viaplay’s experts were furious at the referee’s efforts.
Just leave football and the Premier League, says Bojan Djordich.
Harry Kane saved a point for Tottenham in the London derby in the 96th minute against Chelsea.
But was the goal really approved? The topic became hot for debate after the final whistle when Christian Romero pulled Chelsea’s signature Marc Cucurella by the hair in the situation before the goal.
When can you pull someone’s hair on the football field, Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel tells Sky Sports.
Even Spurs’ 1-1 goal was discussed.
– There was an obvious foul on Kai Havertz before the goal but the situation continued and Richarlison was offside, says Tuchel.
Some of those who were most angry with the refereeing effort (Anthony Taylor was the main referee and Mike Dean was the VAR referee) were the experts Viaplay Bojan Djordic and Frederic Ljungberg.
– Chelsea robbed the points here by Mike Dean in the VAT room. Certain decisions can be made quickly and we are sitting here with a lack of competence in the important places. I don’t want to take anything away from the Spurs fans who may be celebrating but who themselves know it was a robbery. Is it now legal to pluck someone’s hair? That’s what Djordich says in the studio and leaves Ljungberg.
“My God”
– I’m angry, there’s nothing to do on the football field, just because someone has long hair, you can’t just drag them down the hill. I’m crazy, it doesn’t have to be on a football field. What does Mike Dean do? They took a break and yet they let her go completely insane. He says what he’s doing with his hair oh my god.
Djordich then proceeded to see Mike Dean, who resigned as referee after last season but is still a full VAR referee.
– Now we have to talk from the perspective of a VAR room, why did we fix a method that only allows us to crash over and over again. These are the critical positions. They get paid, Mike Dean quit, what the hell are you doing out there in the room? Just leave the football and Premier League.
– Was justice created, it was much better than before. When I see these situations, when does it become a good idea to pluck someone’s hair. What does Mike Dean do? Is he on a coffee break?
