Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur. Sunday 4 Feb. 16.30

Question on the Kane offside incident. Couldn’t the argument be made that Kane effects the play from an offside position? Lovren knows Kane is there and then mis-kicks it. Sort of like the own goal that Wimmer had last year against Woolwich.

Then again, that touch is why he was onside.

That’s a real gray area for the offside rule.

 

[Totti]

Had to record the game and watch after, good point for us.

But watching the 1st half I was howling at the niggly '' half fouls ?'' that Liverpool were getting away with under the pretext of closing down, since when has closing down been 2 or 3 players just running into the opposition and hindering them been part of the game or acceptable to refs ?

Can rugby tackling Dembele and not getting booked was a particular highlight.

How that wasn’t a yellow...

I think he has to make an attempt to get to the ball in the immediate vicinity of the player, which he didn't.

Simple. 1st penalty was actually onside, but a dive from Kane. 2nd penalty, however, a clear penalty. I do wonder if Kane will be getting a retrospective ban for the dive, but most likely not.

I believe the rule states that a rebound or deflection does not change the phase of play. However an opposition player kicking the ball does. Lovren swung and kicked the ball slightly, Kane's positioning had no effect on Lovrens ability to clear the ball he just made an error

 

[Bagelboy]

Does Karius get an assist for Wanyama's goal?

He maybe should have caught it. But then again where the shout from the defender behind him telling him.
Then again it’s harsh as I’d say Can is more at fault for not helping it on and out further.
He completely fluffed it.

Just had a look over at Liverpool's Sub-Reddit, after wiping away the tears of laughter and wading through the salt I have these things to report.

• Fuck the ref and linos, they're cheating cunts
• Fuck Spurs, they're cheating cunts
• Fuck Kane and Alli, they're cheating cunts

Pretty much it, except they're "handing out one match bans" to people for starting too many threads bitching about the result.

Glorious!

Karius' shoulder made contact with Kane's foot.

No problem, I will.

Hello rawk

Haha are you seriously trying to paint me as a Liverpool fan??

 

[Airfixx]

Why are you upset?

I'm not upset.

I'm enjoying the point we earned today.

No.
He has to go over him. Karius never touched the ball. He also admitted he caught Kane pulling away after.
If your going to come, get the ball.
Anyway the argument from them and the manager was he was offside. Not he dived.


I remember Son doing the same thing with a sliding tackle, but making no contact. Moses went over him, getting a penalty.
He never was considered for retro banning.

Hmm.. Leicester?

 

[CroSpurs]

Kane used the situation in the best possible way. That's not a dive. It would be dive if there wasn't any contact.

 

[Bagelboy]

Yes I am. Would you like to meet?

I tell you what I’ll meet the lot of you, all at once in the toilets block 137 on Weds night.
I’ll be wearing a raincoat.
Don’t wear suede shoes.

Liverpool fans are hilarious, they will do anything to deflect from the fact their manager is the biggest fraud in the game. They love him because he pumps his fists when in reality he's a poor mans brendan rodgers, they deserved absolutely nothing from this game, even in the first half when we were poor they were just as bad if not worse and were lucky to be a goal up. I fully expect us to come above that over hyped bunch of whiners this season and will be extremely disappointed if we don't.
