the trouble these days is that we have got into a situation where people think every foul should be a yellow. Not every foul is a yellow and when you have a yellow dont mean a 2nd foul should be a yellow - unless its a worthy yellow card.
People now say he has yellow and fouled again so should have another one - which is wrong.
i personally thought his tackle was fine. however, If he was booked for his 8th foul for continuous fouling now matter how innocuous then thats fine. The fouls add up.

Yep; people open their mouths without being aware of the facts.

This is what is annoying about offsides in VAR they have removed the ability to be level out of the equation as they have to say its either on or off being level is still in the laws of the game.
I think there is a tolerance built into it so even if there is a hint they could be level it would be given onside.
This one genuinely surprised me at how close it was because it definitely looked off in real time. That’s a combination of angles and having to look in two places at once. It actually surprises me how accurate the assistants tend to be.
This all started with Fergie and Wenger.
Fergie constantly perpetuated the line about no intent and Wenger was constantly defending his players for diving saying they felt contact (contact in itself is not a foul) which now everyone spews at any opportunity. The refs have also created their own problem by failing to police holding in the penalty box at corners and free kicks.

Ok that’s the second time you’ve said that and on my screen it was close but I wavered for onside in real time. It did not look DEFINITELY off side at all, it looked like it would have to go to VAR and it did and VAR confirmed how close it was!

OK, I just checked the clips. It was close. There was a second one that was an obvious looking offside. I think my memory is playing up on me.
What a lovely sight…am I allowed to say?..or is it a no no

Gave MotM to Tsimikas.
I have been very critical of hime lately not because of his mistake, we all make mistakes but of het passive way of playing. Klopp must had a little talk with him because from minute one he play with his hearth, positively going forward. That is the way I like to see him play.

Although notably by the smallest of margins the system will recognize as being offside.

Mo’s the happy drunk; Dom’s the confused drunk; Darwin is the one who’s looking for a fight.

Darwin is a big bugger,maybe that explains it
Mo replaced Lovren with Kostas and now he’s got Darwin. Fella has some strong pheromones.
