That's irrelevant. Lovren didn't pass it back, and Kane was offside from the initial pass. Are you saying everytime a ball deflects off a defender it isn't offside, because that's going to get messy.

The defender has to deliberately play the ball for the attacker not to be offside 

Kane was offside when the original pass was made 

 

If the player makes a deliberate attempt at playing the ball then the phase is reset and so the player is onside. A miskick or mistake is not the same as a deflection.

i think offside is a right mess personally.

 

Would Lovren have made a hurried clearance if the flag went up straight from the pass towards Kane? because he was offside at that point. Its like defenders making headed clearances from free kicks with players behind them because the flag doesnt go up. Just makes no sense to me

 

Neither does having a goalscoring body part offside mean youre offside. Look at Aubameyangs goal yesterday. the players were actually level, it just appears he is offside because Aubameyang was leaning forwards, and the defender was leaning forwards the opposite way. their feet were basically level.

 

The late flagging for offside only when the offside player receives the ball is also silly. wastes time and effort and could be dangerous.

 

Whoever dreamed these scenarios is ridiculous

Kane is interfering with play, which is why Lovren tries to clear it. 

 

Also Lovren slips so it can't be certain he meant anything at all.

 

Anyway the rules is ridiculous. The defenders hand is forced by the player being offside, so he's gaining an advantage.

In fairness to Jon Moss, in light of what DB11 is saying, he did apply the laws correctly, its just that the law itself is an ass.

 

I think he refereed well when you consider the penalties, he was trusting to his linesman on the 2nd penalty. From the linesmans angle camera it looked a penalty on the tv replays, yet the replays ive seen in this thread make it look very soft the award

The first isn't a penalty for me and the second is. I've seen the second from another angle and it looks a penalty, even if it is hugely exaggerated contact.

 

The first I just cannot see how that isn't offside.

Id probably go along with that. I think the 2nd penalty is angle dependent. the angle level with the linesman it did look a penalty, and the linesman drew Jon Moss' attention to the incident.

 

The first one i think would be an offside, yet Dermott Gallacher says it was an example of great refereeing teamwork between the linesman and referee. It was a grey area in the laws for me. The defender would not be making a hurried clearance had he known Kane was offside. No flag means he should clear the ball, which he has messed up, but does that really constitute a new phase of play?

 

Sometimes football laws can be so silly they just add to the poor decision making.

Just to add as a central defender I can say with experience that position Lovren is in is an absolute minefield.

 

It’s like when an aerial ball is played towards you but an attacker is ten yards offside behind you. You have to head it because if you had time you’d chest or control the ball, then pass it off. But of course as soon as that Chest or control occurs, the attacker can attempt to tackle you. 

 

It felt the first was offside and then a dive. 

 

The second was a penalty. Van Dijk, not goalside and clumsy makes contact. 

 

Was like the disallowed goal yesterday - the indecision on the pitch causes a big problem - how would you react as a player if you see play on and then the linesmen says no it’s a foul.

Well you need to lobby FIFA then because per the laws of the game and their interpretation, he’s not. He can’t interfere with play simply due to his presence - he only actually interferes with play if he touches the ball. The closest you could consider is interfering with an opponent but again, mere knowledge of presence is insufficient criteria per FIFA - you have to prevent them from being able to play the ball eg standing in front of the goalkeeper and obscuring their vision or running across the path of the defender to block them off.

He might think it was harsh but you can bet had those incidents been in the Spurs penalty area on Salah/Mane etc Klopp himself would have been calling for a spot kick..

 

And the same for any manager really !

 

Quite frankly I turn a blind eye to what any of them say in regard to contentious decisions as like fans they can be one eyed.

We have a problem with the missed pen

just seen the discussion between moss and the lino

 

the lino says that if lovren touches the ball then it’s a pen

 

moss replies ‘ I don’t know’

 

they talk about it again

 

moss again says ‘ I have no idea.’, looks across to the 4th official, puts his finger to his ear and says ‘Martin, do you have anything from tv’? 

 

Then he says ‘i’m Giving the pen’ as he runs back towards the area

 

since when was the 4th official allowed to consult the telly ?????

I'm quite surprised in not seeing Craig Shakespeare in the Everton dugout during games.

Would've thought he'd be assisting Allardyce on the touchline.

Yeah just seen this on MOTD2 

 

linesman says: I need to clarify if lovren touched the ball

if he has, it’s a deliberate action and therefore it’s a penalty 

if he has not, it is offside 

 

jon moss: I’ve no idea whether lovrens touched the ball to be honest with you 

 

both look at dugout 

 

Jon Moss: Martin have you got anything from tv? 

 

Almost instanly after that sentence 

 

Jon Moss: I’m giving a penalty

The Lino giving himself a little celebratory fist clench and thumbs up for awarding the penalty

Excellent Swedish TV analysis of the Selhurst Park pitch invader lol

 

 

Brilliant, love the way his can of lager goes flying when he's tackled!

Can’t believe nobody picked up he blatant simulation by Kane for the First penalty. Surely that needs to be looked at by the Panel. If that was Vardy he would have been hung out to dry like he was after West Ham at the end of 15/16
