Ange Postecoglou says ‘we have to accept the referee’s decision’ after home loss - USTimesPost

preview

Tottenham coach Ange Postecoglou called for an end to questioning of officials’ decisions to prevent their authority being undermined.Spurs had two players sent off in their 4-1 defeat – their first of the Premier League season – at home to Chelsea, but refused to criticize referee Michael Oliver.However, after a first half that was extended by 12 minutes due to multiple VAR checks, the Australian felt a series of incidents had led to the overuse of technology.Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta branded Newcastle’s winning goal against his team a “disgrace” after three VAR reviews on Saturday, and the club issued a statement calling for the standard of refereeing to be “urgently reviewed”.“Decisions are decisions: either you accept them or you don’t,” Postecoglou told Sky Sports.“Some of this is self-inflicted (but) if we complain about bad decisions every week, what will happen today is what will happen: a forensic examination of every decision.”“I think that’s how the game goes. I don’t like it – I could be a lone voice if I’m told this is the way forward. With the VAR intervention it just felt like there was a lot of standing around.“At some point we have to accept the referee’s decision. This constant erosion of the authority of the referees, that’s what the game is going to get: they will no longer have authority, it will disappear and we will have control of someone sitting in front of a television screen a few miles away.Spurs had taken the lead through Dejan Kulusevski’s deflected strike in the sixth minute and a second goal from Son Heung-min was ruled out by VAR for offside.But when Cristian Romero was sent off for a foul on Enzo Fernandez, which allowed Cole Palmer to equalize from the penalty spot, the game changed and a reckless second yellow card for Destiny Udogie early in the second half gave the hosts a tough fight.They held out until the 75th minute when Nicolas Jackson scored the first goal of his hat-trick and added two more goals in stoppage time.“It’s quite difficult to process because it’s almost impossible to analyze the game,” Postecoglou added.“You’re disappointed with the result but proud of the players’ performance and that’s the positive we’ll take from it.”
