Why is that been disallowed 

Dunno.... maybe the other Liverpool players were offside so interfering with the Chelsea players 🤷

[RowlattsFox]

Another example of a ref that clearly didn't want to disallow goal but felt forced too. 

 

Real tough choice between shit like the other night or VAR. Really think I'd rather just be annoyed something goes against you sometimes.

Neville and Carragher are so thick. The goal wasn't disallowed for the block. It was disallowed because Endo was offside while doing it.

It was hardly a block 

[Super_horns]

Didn’t their last meeting in the final have goals disallowed too ?!

[Corky]

That is crap. Goals shouldn't be chalked off for that.

[StanSP]

Referees finding anything to disallow goals now. 

 

That kind of thing happens every game and it goes unnoticed.

 

Pathetic. 

[filbertway]

Confused as to how people don't understand that Endo is offside and interfering with play. It's one of the most clear and easy to disallow goals you'll ever see.

 

The block wasn't a foul, but he's very clearly interfering with play in an offside position.

[Vacamion]

 

It ruins games if you are going to re-litigate every goal and look for techical infringements.

 

What happened to "Clear and obvious"?

Not sure you can get much more clear and obvious than that one to be fair. It was obvious on one replay that he had interfered with play and was clearly offside.

Interested to know how he interfered?  Is it thought the defender Endo blocked would have got anywhere near VVD?  I just can't see it.

Correct.

 

But why is blocking not a foul? Is it not obstruction?  Interestingly, the laws state:

 

IMPEDING THE PROGRESS OF AN OPPONENT WITHOUT CONTACT

Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the opponent’s path to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not within playing distance of either player.

All players have a right to their position on the field of play; being in the way of an opponent is not the same as moving into the way of an opponent.

 

Did Endo not deliberately block Colwell?

[KingsX]

No-brainer to rule than goal out.

 

Since when can you just stand inside the last defender before and as the kick is taken, to seal off his path to the ball?  

 

[orangecity23]

The key thing about that VAR decision that must be taken into account, is that it went against Liverpool. That makes it very, very funny, so it's ok in my book.

The banter outcome now would be an extremely dodgy Chelsea penalty.

[surrifox]

Aren’t you lot watching this, worried you might need counselling due to the emotional overload  arising from the knowledge that this could be Klopp’s last appearance in a final in England ?

Because Endo didn't really move so therefore he has the right to that position. It was more what the Americans would call a 'pick' or 'screen' in Basketball, both of which are legal as long as you're not moving. The only problem here is that Endo was offside.

Credit to the goalkeeper.

Not really. Most of them just from their academy. Obviously not counting Elliott in that as he was playing for Fulham.

[KingsX]

Gallagher toting up a season's worth of xG in 10 minutes, and not managing to score.

 

Hopefully he'll have to take the deciding pen

Nyoni poached from us as well
