Liverpool v Spurs

[ElectroClaret]

Another peno!!

[Vegas Claret]

That Lino must have a bet on

[IndigoLake]

This is absolutely disgusting. Another blatant dive from Spurs. They need docking points for this.

[Sidney1st]

Contact but Lamella looks like he'd had his leg chopped off.

[Darthlaw]

£75m for Van Dijk or £600k for Ben Mee...

[IanMcL]

Injustice!

[4:20]

Nope. Keeper didn't touch Kane, he pulled his arms back. Kane made sure he caught the Keeper!

This calls for a slomo gif! I've only seen the one replay mind, willing to change my mind!

[KefkaClaret]

Spurs are dirty cheats who get away with it because they have England's golden boys.

[Sidney1st]

£75m for Van Dijk or £600k for Ben Mee...

I'll go with option C please Darth, £40 million for Mangala

[IanMcL]

Spurs are a disgrace to British football.

Every player looking to fall at the drop of a hat. A pile of bile.

[Vino blanco]

Good game. Spurs were better team in second half. Plenty for pundits to talk about.

[IndigoLake]

If Burnley FC didn't exist, I'd probably give up football. I'm sick of the blatant cheating and efforts to deceive referees and officials. Players who do so aren't men in my eyes. They lack integrity, sportsmanship and all the qualities that make up professionals. Some shocking behaviour from Tottenham and I hope they face action. Unfortunately, the sport is way behind where it should be in terms of sorting out the issues that actually matter.

[bob-the-scutter]

Dick was unlucky with the 2nd pen. I don't think he even saw lemon. Pity he didnt kick him harder!

[IanMcL]

"Premier League at it's best" says Sky summariser.

I think not. Just an advert for cheating.

[Diesel]

Wrong penalty decision - missed

Correct penalty decision - scored.

What's the problem?

[ClaretAndJew]

That was a really good game to be fair.

[Quickenthetempo]

Decent game for the neutral.

[ClaretTony]

What an astonishing finish to the game - brilliant entertainment

[Vegas Claret]

Kane needs banning for that dive

[Rumbletonk]

Great game other than having to listen to Jim Beglin.

Spurs really are a rancid lot. 1st pen dive and offside, 2nd was just a joke. Utterly terrible from the lino desperate to get involved

[KefkaClaret]

I'd be amazed if Kane got a ban

[bob-the-scutter]

What an astonishing finish to the game - brilliant entertainment

And what woild footie be without the debating!

[IanMcL]

And what woild footie be without the debating!

Honest? Fair?

[chorleyhere]

So if it was a definite penalty why did Moss say no penalty - Lino couldn't be sure about the first but still went along with Moss then was absolutely sure from side on view that 2nd one was ? He couldn't see it absolutely sure from the side view !!!

[ClaretTony]

And what woild footie be without the debating!

Absolutely - dives, pens, offsides - loads to debate just from the last few minutes.

[Noblelight]

Spurs have had 2 more pens in 10 minutes than we've had in a season

[JimmyRobbo]

Wrong penalty decision - missed
Correct penalty decision - scored.
What's the problem?

For me, the problem is that current rules and systems are set up to reward acting, diving, feigning injury which means, effectively, it's set up to favour bigger clubs.

Ali should be punished retrospectively, whether given a yellow or not.
The offside for the penalty should be offside whether the defender touches it or not. Surely, the attacker has gained an advantage by being in an offside position. A defender cannot rely on liners to make the correct call.

The game is imploding because the money people have got involved and created a situation where money will win.

[Vegas Claret]

I'd be amazed if Kane got a ban

He's the England Captain, zero chance

[bob-the-scutter]

A dive in the area should be a straight red and 3 game ban. The only way to stop it.

[bob-the-scutter]

Honest? Fair?

Boring!

[IanMcL]

Cheating isn't entertainment.

[Vegas Claret]

Cheating isn't entertainment.

well said

[welsbyswife]

What an astonishing finish to the game - brilliant entertainment

Great entertainment that would have been killed by VAR in my view. It might help get the right decision (although i'm not even convinced about that) but all the stopping and starting would have completely altered the flow at the end of that game.

[4:20]

I thought I knew what offside was, apparently not.

[boatshed bill]

Wrong penalty decision - missed

Correct penalty decision - scored.

What's the problem?

How about the possibility that the first (wrongly awarded) penalty affects the rest of the game.
The cheating is ruining the game, and everyone knows it.

[Lowbankclaret]

Both penalty decisions were correct.

Great game and the officials actually got the big decisions right.

[chorleyhere]

Who on earth was Ali passing to when Kane WAS in an offside position ? It was Kane therefore the Lino should be putting up his flag - he wasn't sure that a Liverpool player had touched it - surely he should have signalled offside and had the ref over-rule it not the other way round? Too many times the lino hasn't followed the correct procedure when Burnley have had goal/penalty decisions ?

[beddie]

Thought the liner that gave the pens was superb.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Gallagher saying Kane was onside as Lovern went to play the ball, but he’s only going to play the ball because Kane is behind him surely and was offside before?

This is what I don't get about it and its doing my head in.

[Diesel]

When the last Tottenham player touched the ball (the pass) Kane was offside, surely that's it?

[Diesel]

Anyway cracking game, great point against City yesterday and my boy was 'man of the match' for his team this morning.

******* love the footy me.

[joey13]

Both definitely pens , I think some on here no absolutely nothing about football.

Ironically it's 'know'.

[jdrobbo]

I'm clearly with the minority here, but for me Kane is onside for the first. He's offside when the ball is played, but Lovren deliberately plays the ball. Regardless of whether Kane is tight to him or thirty yards offside, that play from Lovren was a choice. The fact that he touched it renders Kane active, in an onside position in a new phase of play. If Lovren knew Kane was offside, he should've just let the ball run.


FA Rule 11...

"A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save by any opponent) is not considered to have gained an advantage."

[Shore claret]

Gallagher saying Kane was onside as Lovern went to play the ball, but he’s only going to play the ball because Kane is behind him surely and was offside before?

Absolutely spot on Kane being behind lovren affects what he does, if he wasn't there he would just let the ball run through to the goalkeeper.
Modern football is killing the art of defending, how on earth are you supposed to teach young players these rules. They are baffling.

[Diesel]

How do you know what Lovren 'knew'.

Offside, for me.

[Bordeauxclaret]

It would take a brave defender to leave the ball in that situation because he “thought” he was offside.

Sorry VEgas,
Because the Liverpool player played the ball he was onside. I thought he was offside till Gallerger cleared it up

So not specsavers, it’s the rules
