Tottenham at Anfield, February 4th 2018

[thompsonsnose]

I didn't hear Ginis name mentioned once.  Garbage player.

 

Shite. A ghost, along with all the other MF phantoms.

[3 Stacks]

You're allowed to boot a player then?

 

I don't even rate van Dijk, but a player falling backwards into a kneecap isn't a boot. He pulled his foot away intelligently, and it's a disgrace of a decision. 

[TheHowieLama]

What was wrong with their first?

 

The fella kicked it too hard -- could have hurt someone

[Red House]

I don’t get the it touched Lovren so was onside for the 1st pen either, he was offside from the 1st pass want he so he was offside, the fact it touched Lovren doesn’t matter

 

Exactly. Kane was offside. Lovren's touch is utterly irrelevant. It's the same situation as a player scoring off a rebound from a deflected or saved shot while being already offside from the moment of the initial shot. He would be considered offside. Worse than suffering from obvious hallucinatory issues, Moss and his cunt lino don't even seem to know the basic rules of the game.

 

 

[The Golden Eel]

Kane was blatantly offside when the pass was played. So what if it came off Lovren? Doesn’t alter the fact that he was offside. And then he dived.

 

What is the actual rule here because it's pretty fucking crucial given that the linesman clearly knew he was offside and the penalty was solely given because of Lovren's touch

[ZonkoVille77]

Ref was bent. No doubt. Dying to give them a result.

[Captain Turdseye]

Er, their first goal was Wanyama....

Haha. I’m that pissed off with everything that happened at the end that I’d forgotten about that.

[J-V]

How many were confident after Salah's second that we'd see out the game?

 

2 minutes left with Spuds not doing much with the ball the whole game, Yeah to be honest I was.

[thompsonsnose]

He kicked him in the back of his leg. 

I dont agree.

[thompsonsnose]

180.

I think you need to watch it again

[Guest Alex_K]

Any defence in world football would struggle against Kane, Eriksen, Alli and Son if given no protection from midfield what so ever.

The pair of mistakes that led to the penalties had nothing whatsoever to do with the midfield. 2 incidents of individual recklessness that went punished. The first goal is a one in a thousand shot that cannot be legislated for.

[Newport]

We have to stop bringing on an extra defender to see out the game. It just turns the midfield into chaos and brings more pressure.

[The Golden Eel]

I dont agree.

 

So Lamela falls down clutching the exact part of his leg that van Dijk hasn't kicked? 

[Captain Turdseye]

What is the actual rule here because it's pretty fucking crucial given that the linesman clearly knew he was offside and the penalty was solely given because of Lovren's touch

It seems like it varies week to week or depending on who the officials are.

[Elite]

Yep. Knew it as soon as Matip came on.

[Red House]

On another note, Chamberlain put in a performance to rival that of the refs. Utterly gutless, was a fucking liability out there.

[thompsonsnose]

So Lamela falls down clutching the exact part of his leg that van Dijk hasn't kicked? 

So youre saying you trust Lamela?

[andyj]

All subjectivity of the matter aside, if anyone thinks that's a pen, they're idiots. 

to me  its about the fact the ref  waved play on  and the ball had been played twice before he called it back therefore my understanding is they cant call it back if they have waved play on ...was it a pen seen them waved away aswell as given but i cant remember ever seeing a ref wave play on then give a penalty 

[Elite]

We don't have much breathing room now for the top 4, coupled with a threadbare squad it's going to be very, very difficult.

[El Rojo]

We have to stop bringing on an extra defender to see out the game. It just turns the midfield into chaos and brings more pressure.

Yeah, fair point. Would be interesting to see the stats on how we’ve fared with that tactic.

[3 Stacks]

I think you need to watch it again

 

The gif's been posted in the thread and Sky have shown it about 10 times since it happened. I'm afraid you just don't know what you're talking about, and calling it a "boot" seals that. 

[Jennings]

Fair result.

[Captain Turdseye]

And he was offside anyway.

[The Golden Eel]

So youre saying you trust Lamela?

 

No, I'm saying that it would be pretty magical for that van Dijk hoof to have not touched him but for him to have gone down clutching the exact part of his leg where it would have contatced him seeing as he wasn't even looking at him at the time.
