       > Well Mourinho has just come out and praised Michael Oliver
       more than he did any of his players.  And he wasn't being
       sarcastic, it was genuine praise, so I think you are way off the
       mark with your criticism.  Including with the Brownhill caution,
       yes it was the first minute but it was a clear case of stopping
       a promising attack so is a mandatory caution.

       Did you really think that that was a promising attack with the
       way Spurs played all night?

       If you pull someone back and chop them down the skill level or
       level of the game is irrelevant.  If that was on Hackney Marshes
       on a Sunday morning it would still be a caution as it was a
       tactical foul, and notably the player had no complaints
       whatsoever about it.

       That wasn't my question though, was it?

       time-keeping, one wonders how he lost a whole 2 minutes of a
       wretched game.

       Awful game of football too...

       I know right!?  They suck the life out of you, although their
       defensive abilities and shape are to be admired.  They don't
       have money to spend compared to nearly everyone else and have a
       loyal fanbase who deserve better regarding the style of play.
       Players like Brownhill, Cork and especially Dwight McNeil are
       all very capable footballers who can play attractively, and with
       Barnes & Wood up front they deserve better than the ball being
       lumped up after a long break every time the ball goes out!
