Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle will take the rough with the smooth when under-fire referee David Elleray looks at the video of the controversial 1-1 draw with Everton at Goodison Park last night. Hoddle will appeal against the red cards for Gary Doherty and Gus Poyet and has persuaded Elleray to view the video to decide whether he made mistakes in sending the pair off.
But Hoddle accepts that if Elleray views the video and decides he was too lenient with Mauricio Taricco, after a horror tackle on Thomas Gravesen went unpunished, then he will live with that too.
Hoddle said: "That's the way it is, I'll accept that. But the referee has agreed to have a look at the video."
Elleray came under fire from both managers after an amazing Premiership match saw Spurs hang on to a point with nine men.
"I will appeal, and after talking to the referee, he has agreed to have a look at the video. He told me he does that anyway," Hoddle added.
