Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Slime]

That doesn't make any sense.

Why not?
Kane was fouled and gets the free kick but he was also guilty of simulation, (he dived, clutched his face and screamed like a gunshot victim), and therefore gets a yellow card.

Not sure why you sent the video, I saw it yesterday - that's foul by Lovren, you can't put your hand across someone's face.

Lovren got a yellow card for that.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Is it any different to Origi against Utd?
He held the wrong leg didn’t he?
Or Richarliason against Brighton?
He lay there holding his head but was pushed in the back.
Every, absolutely Every, team has players that do it mate.

You're missing my point I think. English players who dive get less stick in the press than foreign players.

Stu, you were there and it was close to you as you said, you got one look at it and came to a decision, that’s exactly what the Linesman got, he actually gave the decision and told the Ref a hand was raised, I’m not defending Kane and whether he went down easily or not, but this trial by Social Media is stupid.
That offence would of only been reviewed if it had been a Red Card, I don’t think we are being fair to Officials to get every decision correct, every time.

I know that’s your point, but I disagree, Kane is singled out by Reds when you play them.
Supporters of opposing teams often single out certain players.
Nobody more than Sterling over the years has took stick and there are plenty of other English players have been as well over the years.

I had a height advantage, as I said earlier I think the liner was too close to the action. It's a foul but not a card. It's amazing how footballers lose their strength in certain areas of the pitch.

I agree the trial by social media in football is stupid. I also dont expect any ref to get every decision right. If kane goes down, he gets a free kick. Kanes reaction got Lovren booked.

I'm not moaning or complaining, it's just my opinion on the matter

We'll disagree 👍

Never said you were moaning or complaining mate

The lino flagged for a foul, Lovren raised his arm, has the Ref got any choice, regardless of Kane’s reaction?

 

[MegaSteve]

Xhaka does put a shift in. Do you seriously think that any manager would tolerate that behaviour?

Same S@@t was levelled at Ozil and it was scientifically proven that he covered more km in a game than most.

Pretty pointless running around like a proverbial blue bottomed fly if there's no end product...
For me the only "cretin" was Xhaka himself responding in the manner he did... There was only one outcome from that... More folk joining in...

Ah the old "he raised his arm" chestnut. That yellow was based on Kanes reaction 100%

I was surprised at how Taylor reffed the game yesterday, he let plenty of niggly fouls to go on both sides but I was surprised he never booked Son for stopping a quick free kick being taken 3 times.

I agree about social media and only got worse since VAR. I also agree that sometimes a lino can be too close to actually see everything

The ref warned Kane to tell Son to stop it, instead of just booking him.
That obviously was a game plan.

Lovren got the same punishment as Glendousi for his assault on Saha. Joke.

VAR was designed for social Media and TV audiences.
It certainly wasn’t designed for the match going fans.

exactly the point - Kane gets away with his antics because he is the England captain , if Mane was the one pretending that he had been hit in the face throwing himself to the floor then the media would have got into overdrive and even on here

And to be honest has failed both camps

Seriously??
So the Media go into overdrive when Mane & Salah throw themselves to the ground?
The media are definitely Pro Liverpool so put the poor us card away,it‘s got to be running low 👍🏻

 

[PhilTheFragger]

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

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.

Agree, except VAR is not used in those circumstances, not saying that is right or wrong, but that’s how it is.
