...AND IT’S VARD TIMES FOR JOSE!
JOSE MOURINHO claimed that football was showing Tottenham “no respect” after another controversial VAR handball decision left him fuming.
The Spurs boss stormed down the tunnel before the match had finished as Callum
Wilson’s 97th-minute penalty earned Newcastle a draw against the run of play.
A VAR check penalised Eric Dier when Andy Carroll’s header hit the defender’s arm at point-blank range to spark uproar. Goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos was
red-carded after the final whistle for confronting referee Peter Bankes (top) and Mourinho said: “The only feeling I’m ready to share is that I don’t feel Tottenham is respected according to what the club is. No respect.
“It is just my feeling. You know it is the third club I manage in this country, so happy so proud, so happy everyday, I would not change it for any other job in the world.
“But I feel it, I feel we deserve more respect. Everything this club has done in the past years and wants to do in the future, we deserve a bit more.”
Mourinho, who fears losing Heung-min Son with a hamstring injury long-term, added: “He (Nuno) said what I’m thinking and I’m more experienced than him and I left the tunnel to protect myself.
“If I want to give some money away, I give it to charities, not the FA. So I prefer not to comment.”
Even Newcastle manager Steve Bruce felt that Mourinho was hard done by.
Bruce (above) said: “It is a total nonsense – we’ve got away with one. The decisions are ruining the spectacle.
”Handball has been around for 100 years. If it is deliberate, no problem, but it has to be clear and obvious. We have lost the plot with it and it loses the spectacle.”
