I miss the ‘Lemur’ links from TIA 
Was it really Mo’s goal? There definitely seemed to be a deflection, was that from the AM player (on target so Mo’s goal) or Milner?
I thought it was Milner’s goal. It wasn’t just a deflection, but an intentional redirection, taking it away from Oblak and giving him no chance.
Still, Mo lives for goals, so he wants it and Milner won’t care. I liked his tweet in the matter, gentle ribbing and a reminder to Mo, all in good fun.

To be honest, I actually respect the sentiment. No point in being a hypocrite just to keep the media happy.
Of course, I’d rather he be sporting and professional, but that isn’t his nature. I’d rather he admit who he is than try to pretend like many managers and players do.
I really like Simeone. One of the best managers in the world.
Apart from Atletico fans you’re in the minority my friend.

It definitely came of the AM player, and as it was on target, the goals is Salah’s.

The slow mo clearly shows it deflecting off the foot of the defender…

https://youtu.be/AEKjHIOlKnc change playback speed to 0.25, slide to 1m46 in and 1m54. The ba clearly changes direction after it passes the defender. Also the defender is lunging to his left and the ball deflects the other way.
Not available in the UK so will have to take your word for it… 
I just reviewed Mo’s first goal on YouTube in slow motion. I only saw it the first time, real speed, and it definitely looked like Milner redirected it.
Now I’m not so sure! It may have hit the defenders heel with his outstretched left leg, and redirected into the far corner.
That obviously explains why the goal was given to Mo and not Milner.
Onwards and upwards. Man Utd next. After all the rubbish international disruption, so our players can tackle the might of Andorra and whatnot, at least we now have some proper footy back. And it feels like it is building again. Come on you reds!

We’ve spent more time analysing whether or not our legitimately scored goal was Salah’s or Milner’s, and less time on why AMs first goal was allowed to stand.
Personally, I don’t care who it was attributed to, the fact it went in was the most important factor.

Because it was not offside.
From an offside position he’s only going to be given offside if he attempts to play the ball. The exception is if his position impacts the goalie, and that’s typically only given if he is directly in the line with the path of the ball. There was a goal a few years ago where Mata was offside on a freekick the ultimately went all the way through and in a the backpost with the goalie rooted to the spot preparing to have to save Mata’s header. At the last minute Mata missed it and the ball carried on through and snuck in at the back post. It was given because he was deemed not in the line of sight of the keeper and so they clarified the rule a bit as a result of that, but it still only really counts with respect the keeper.

But did Millie swear on his wife and kids that he won’t claim the goal???

On the only angle you can see conclusively what happened, it was the Athletico Defender who got the touch.

Lucky nobody in football exploits offshore tax loopholes or pockets bribes from human rights abusing middle-Eastern states, for example.
He stays competitive in a league that is essentially rigged. Hating him for the way he does it, or for not kissing Klopp’s hand, just seems a bit snobbish and spoilt.
