well it blooming well should be, otherwise whats the point?

There’s a list of what it does and doesn’t cover. Too much and it’s compared to American Football.

I think everyone who say it in slo mo would agree that Harry badly over reacted and should be in line for an Oscar nomination, he should also be punished as he is clearly cheating and bringing the game into disrepute.
If the defender was carded, that should be over ruled

However the ref gave it as he and the other match officials saw it, its a fast paced game after all and mistakes can and do happen
One of those times when VAR should have been used

That's just a ridiculous version of the event, I agree that Kane over reacted but if you watch the front on view Kane plays the ball past Lovren then Lovren extends his right arm into Kane's neck with the intent of slowing him down.

We all agree Kane over reacts but to say that's not a foul and booking for Lovren is nonsense

That's just a ridiculous version of the event, I agree that Kane over reacted but if you watch the front on view Kane plays the ball past Lovrin then Lovrin extends his right arm into Kane's neck with the intent of slowing him down.

We all agree Kane over reacts but to say that's not a foul and booking for Lovrin is nonesense.

It’s a foul no doubt because Lovren impeded him and pulled him back - but a booking ? No chance for me - and the booking only came about because of the way Kane reacts.

But you can't expect to put your hand into a players neck and not expect a booking.

Its a foul, i dont think its a booking for Lovren. Personally I would then reverse the foul for Kanes theatrics and book him. Wouldve done the same to Lacazette last week too. Until the authorities get serious about it fans will continually be defending their own whilst criticising others

Who? and when?

seriously? weve all the seen the video he gets a touch to the neck, holds his face and screams like a bitch. Its clearly simulation. you hear a scream like that on a rugby field the guy goes off on a stretcher, on a football field they slowly get up sniggering at having conned the ref again

 

[Orikoru]

Lovren got a yellow card for that.

Yeah, of course he did, he put his arm across Kane to stop him running past? That's obviously a yellow card.

When two players are going for the ball in the manner they were then players use the arms to hand off or leverage or pull back a player there is a chance you will foul them - he is just grabbing him , if it was stopping a quick break etc then a potential booking that challenged was never a yellow

Again though mate, it’s trial by Social Media, the Linesman makes a call on what he saw in that instance from his angle, mic’d up to the Ref the Ref makes a decision.

I’ve no issue with retrospective action, but at the time the Officials on the pitch believe they have made the correct call, that has to be respected, VAR wouldn’t get involved.

Hence my question, how can the Ref do what you suggested.

Are you kidding? It was a foul from Lovren, he put his hand/arm out across Kane to deliberately hold him back! That is a booking irrespective of Kane's reaction. Why on earth would it be overturned?? Dear oh dear.

wtf has that got to do with social media? Facebook made a complaint have they?

its proper football fans that are utterly fed up with the game being destroyed as a spectacle by overpaid cheating diving players and mismanaged from the authorities down the refs on the park and the use of VAR who cant enforce the right structure to resolve it

You haven’t answered the question.

By social media I mean all media, is that ok?

Totally agree how sh!te football has become, like you I followed it all over the world and it’s being ruined.
The changes need to come from the teams themselves.

The booking only happened because Kane faked that he was hit in the face with force - if Kane had just stopped running or indeed carried on then there would have been no booking - Kanes pathetic reaction earned the booking for Lovren

The booking happened because Lovren put his arm across the player to hold him back and avoid being skinned down the line. Deliberate foul. It's pretty simple.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

He did though mate.

I totally agree about the time wasting by Spurs, even as a neutral it was annoying, although I did notice the crowd didn’t boo the time wasting when yous went 2-1 up.

We had no booos left in us, we're not like your lot 🤭

 

[Deleted member 16999]

How you could expect the Ref to book Kane for play acting.

Its really simple, he blows his whistle, he calls Kane over, he goes to his pocket, he pulls out a yellow card and raises it in Kanes direction. At the same time he warns him as the sides captain about both his personal and his teams conduct and that next time it will be red. Simples

I’m not saying it wasn’t a foul by Lovren, I’m saying he got booked because of Kane’s massive over reaction,

My opinion
