Being a Spurs fan I took in this game on Sunday after I got back from my game. Good game of football, not too many decisions for Probert to make and as a Spurs fan I was happy with the point.
But one thing I did notice on a couple of calls (especially the penalty) was Probert would blow and then gave himself a good few seconds before making the decision. With the pen he blew then must have taken 5 seconds or so before pointing to the spot (I was clearly going nuts thinking he would book Adebayor for diving or something!)
But whats your thoughts on that approach. I tend to find my refereeing is based on instinct, I blow when I see something and dont tend to give myself that moment to consider the call I'm making. I'm not sure if Probert was taking the time deciding on whether Steve Taylor should have been booked, sent off etc perhaps.
