Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [30th September - 2nd October 2011]

1653: A few of you are asking why Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart wasn't booked for running into the crowd to celebrate his goal. I don't know, because he should have been. He'd already been shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Kieran Gibbs, so technically, he should be off. Only referee Mike Dean can explain why he isn't.

Not the only person that noticed too.

Ha, that's a good point actually. I'm 50/50 on it being a handball but going into the crowd ALWAYS gets the player a yellow card... except in this instance.

My friend on twitter pointed out that this is the same ref who didn't give Vidic a 2nd yellow for running into the crowd after scoring against Villa last season.
 
I think booking him for the celebration would have been harsh, he backed out of the crowd just quickly enough so it wasn't so bad.
 
Great result away for us against Forest, can't believe we came back from a goal down. When we lose a goal it means we've lost, but we kept our head up and got a brilliant result. Been a wonderful week first winning away in Europe and now in the league.
