Klopp is having another moment here.... Shame the Sky reporter wouldn't challenge him on his lack of knowledge of the offside rule..

Jeff Shreeves loves it.
He's got an ace sarcastic tone sometimes.

Hahahahahaha sniff it you bratwurst-eating ballbag

I do count them. I'm very strange.
I also sit and watch John Moss rather than the game when he's in charge.
I find him fascinatingly bad.

I wasn't paying too much attention but I thought JM did alright.

Have they kept a clean sheet when Van Dijk has played yet?

Thought he had a great game personally

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Absolutely a pen. If you ever got caught in the back of the knee even a little bit, you’d go straight down. The real controversy is Jonathan Moss trying not to give it.

Today, he did.
I will give credit where its due.
Some proper hard tackles first half he let slide and it made the game exciting to the viewer.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

That linesman was great

Can he play left back???

 

[TyphooToffee]

WTF. Worst weekend ever.

Surely that's WWE, not WTF?

I've got time for any ref that gives a pen against them at the kop end in the last second.

They were lucky to draw, don’t let their conspiracy theory moaning distract from what was a rubbish performance. Spurs battered them second half to the point where Klopp tried to contain a 1-1 draw at home by taking Mane off for Matip. They actually got lucky that Spurs gifted them the first goal and missed a pen because apart from that Liverpool did nothing in the game to win it.

I'm still confused over the first pen and if it was offside.

According to the pundits, the ref and the linesman were discussing whether Lovren touched the ball. The lino says Kane was in an offside position (ie closer to the goal then 2 opponents or the ball) but couldn't see if Lovren touched it or not. The lino then said if Lovren didn't touch it Kane was offside and afoul should be given, if Lovren did touch it than Kane is onside.

Moss said Lovren touched it so no offside, and Dermot Gallagher seemed to back that up saying that Lovrens touch means Kane was onside.

Yet this :
The shot by a team-mate (A) rebounds off or is deflected by an opponent
to attacker (B) who is penalised for playing or touching the ball having
previously been in an offside position.



Kane was offside when the ball was played to him by a team mate. It was touched by Lovren on its way through to Kane who was still in an offside position so i don't see how offside wasn't given.

Ref has had a mare tbh, but it is still very funny

Nice to see that cleared up. I think.
