Fans savage Paul Tierney for VAR-filled FA cup replay between Spurs and Rochdale

1-0 • 0-0 • 1-0 • 2-0 • 1-0 • 1-1

That's the scoreline's path to half-time, with two Tottenham goals disallowed Spurs fans would've been forgiven for thinking it wasn't their night. The game actually finished 6-1 after a Fernando Llorente hat-trick. It was a quintessential FA Cup tie. Goals, drama and VAR. Well maybe the video refs will become a bonafide part of the process in the future. For now they seem to be the bane of every fan in the country. Goals for Erik Lamela and Son Heung-min were disallowed by the technology in the first half. In the first case for a foul in build-up and then a feint during a penalty. The cameras were checked by referee Paul Tierney in several other instances too. It's worth pointing out that VAR got every single decision right and wasn't used in the second half other than to check the five goals, as is tradition. Still, that didn't stop fans laying into Tierney - reasonable as they are. https://twitter.com/DanHogan91/status/968943751455535104 https://twitter.com/Craig1467/status/968945646685257729 https://twitter.com/TommyE1992/status/968942297009319939 https://twitter.com/markchapman/status/968940154483179521 https://twitter.com/samuelluckhurst/status/968937098307952642 https://twitter.com/SmithySoccerAM/status/968944151147532288 https://twitter.com/GBury_17/status/968942645522333697 https://twitter.com/shaneduffy/status/968948688281366528 https://twitter.com/MarwanNawaz/status/968946238451265537 https://twitter.com/jjenas8/status/968940409421475841
