Liverpool (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

[citizen_maine]

I’ve just learnt that apparently sky have broadcast 7 hours on the the off-side goal on separate programmes. 7 HOURS!!!!

Is it just a loop of this thread?

 

[CPPSC]

Then why do you keep creating MORE controversy about it?

As for being a City fan, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard someone declare their allegiance by saying “I’m for City”??!!

Lastly, it looks like a Dipper, walks like a Dipper, and quacks like a Dipper…it’s a Dipper!

Now, if you started quacking like a City fan for once, people might think you looked and walked a little differently. Alas…

Drop it. Move on. SOUND like a City fan and ya never know…

Do you mean YNWA?

This has been the headline all week so naturally it's being talked about. Is there something else that you would like to talk about instead? If there is another subject you would rather discuss please let us know.

I look at the offside incident like this and perhaps it will make more sense to you.

Imagine you're in a stand. You're 15 years old girl. And someone, let's say for arguments sake, a person from the liverpool away section, throws a cup full of coins at your head. There's a person in front of you. You see the person throw the cup full of coins and you have clear sight of that cup. But the person in front of you can, perhaps, deflect the cup of coins and divert it away from you. Although you could see the cup full of coins thrown by the Liverpool away section, the person in front has affected your decision making regardless of what they do.

Maybe, like the incident above and so many others, you can pretend that the offside never happened and move on with life?

There is no way in hell he was blocking a 6 ft 4 keeper's vision while sat on the ground lol, De Gea could see the ball and the deflection from his teammate made it impossible to save, you could argue it should've been given just like you could argue Dick's header should've been given, but they weren't, and yes the ref's inconsistencies is hugely frustrating but it affects every team.

In the Everton United incident the GK was crouching and the ball was along the ground, the offside player sitting directly in front of him appeared to be directly in the path of the keeper's view of the ball. I agree that the deflection made it impossible to save from his position, but since his view of the ball was obstructed and that being one of the criteria for what constitutes offside in the LOTG, the decision of offside interference would be warranted unlike in the other cases.

The only reaction has been from the Dippers.
Everyone else is universal is sayin Van Dick's goal was rightfully ruled out.

It has been widely reacted to by the whole of the football world and the sense I get is that the majority of neutrals and pundits all seem to agree that the goal should have stood. I don't know what has caused you to conclude that it is only the Dippers reacting and that everyone else has concluded that it was ruled out. It might seem that way but that does not appear to be the case from my vantage point.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Been checking online and apparently we still won 3-0. Fuck off you boring scouse cunts, we keep being told decisions even themselves out over a season

 

[asahartford1]

lol I have been making an effort to participate in other topics. :)

York away ?

Yeah that was before VAR. Wish we could go back to that, instead of this bollocks!

I've not heard anyone other than Dippers saying it should have stood.

Not a single mention of cheese toasties. Up your game

Have you been listening to any reactions besides from the two fanbases involved? Often in situations like this it is best to seek out a neutral perspective as naturally each club involved would have their biases heightened to a degree.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Fuck me they still crying about it?

They've started a petition....

Tony Evans a fanatic liverpool fan and sometime journalist has stated that it was a definite offside.
The action of Robertson ducking made an impact on the play as he was getting out of the way of the header.
He said this on Talksport on Monday.

Any comment

I'm saying, in a situation like this, it's important to see how neutrals are reacting. That's what I have done. I am not too concerned with the reaction from Liverpool supporters. I am more concerned with how the whole of the football world reacts, how supporters of other clubs interpret what happened.

 

[waspish]

Difference between Man City fans and other is if that was the other way around we would have understood why it was given and moved on the media would have said nought! Pep would have said nothing about it either! Liverpool like rags and Arsenal are completely in the entitled fan base! The media are to blame as much as there fans!

A sarcastic like. Mmm, I see the the future...

Stops them having to grasp the reality that they were outplayed by an emerging City team.
