Wrong...they didn't check for offside because they ruled no handball...had the handball been given the replay with the lines would shown a clear offside...same result...no penalty...

I know ,but they're always seething about these decisions which go our way. They can't talk reasonably even if they disagree with itWe both know that was a stonewall if that was against us the conspiracy merchants would fill 1,000’s of posts on here

Careful…you almost said he had poor touch and lacking technical ability!Why he persists with Sterling is beyond me. Has he ever retained possession?
@kaz7 will be ‘avin ya if you say that!
That said, he was not alone today.
High levels of frustration with multiple players and no-one covered themselves in glory today, with the exception of Ederson & Stones.
It was a stonewall penalty that should have been given. If Liverpool had gotten away with it we'd all be apoplectic.
It's fine to just say we got away with it. We don't need to bend over backwards or find some previously unseen camera angle that apparently "proves" Rodri didn't do anything wrong, or that Richarlison was offside in the build-up.
We benefited from a lucky bounce for the goal and then benefited from a bizarre VAR cock-up for the non-penalty. It's a bad decision, neutrals will see it as a bad decision. No conspiracy, nothing underhanded, doesn't change the result.

But he clearly was offside... That wasn't the reason it was dismissed because they weren't looking for it. Not because they checked it and it was onside. Why not make an argument instead of acting better than everyone, when you're just being ignorant.or that Richarlison was offside in the build-up.

Don't know why most of the media are saying it was 100% penalty, it hit the top of his arm so its 50/50 at most, it went in our favour, end of.
Regardless...offside before and after...better yet..the fucking ball popped up to Rodri because an OFFSIDE Richarlison kicked it into Ederson...watch the whole play...it would have been a travesty to award Everton a penalty off an offside run...The play was stopped for offside after the incident. The referee is just pointing out that it's to resume from the offside decision, just like he would point for a goal kick etc.
How are we lucky? If they ruled handball they then would have checked for offide...which it was...thats what he said tbf. They ruled no handball. In which case we got lucky.
