If they had decided it was handball then it would have gone to the offside call on Richi, and I’m not sure if he offside or not?

no, they check the offside first and they agreed it wasn't

That’s never how it works tbh.

He wasn't

anyone remember Dele Alli from 2 or 3 years ago, did an Anders limpar and punched it from over his head, no penalty, its only Everton.

Can anyone honestly say the RS don't get that if it was in front of the Kipites?

That was the game that killed my interest in football other than Everton.

That wasn't the only decision during the game were it was obvious the match officials were re-writing the rules to suit an agenda.

Then in the aftermath the outpouring of sympathy for Son after his 'challenge' on Gomes because he cried after forcibly putting another human's ankle in the wrong direction. Disgusting.

It was the day I was left with no doubt this league is corrupt.

They've said they checked it and it was onside, why do people want to argue the unarguable so much? It looks onside too, you can se he's not beyond the final defender. The problem is that ridiculous screenshot doing the rounds which is about 5 frames after the pass was made.

Where have they said they checked it? Not saying it’s offside, I’m saying it looks inconclusive from what I’ve seen.

This is funny, an entire thread of Chris Kavanagh and Liverpool FC, obviously stoked after a VAR went against thier title challenge yesterday

There were statements last night. Lampard also said he checked with the officials at the time and they confirmed it. The game also did not restart with that offisde, it started in another part of the field.

I know it wasn’t given as offside! I know it was a handball. I still don’t think they checked that offside call though. I’d like them to clarify.

Disagree
If VAR had been around they would have given a blatant foul on Southall
I mean come on this was about the second game of the season
I remember this and could not be leave the foul wasn’t given.

100% spot on. First incident was a fould on Southall. End of.

 

[BlueToff]

To be fair, I’m totally fine with the referee saying he couldn’t see it as he had 2 bodies in the way. I’m fine with that because they’re the instances VAR should help plug the gap in vision.

tbh while I can understand it because we have VAR, it's still pretty blatant and from the angle he's at there is a gap to Rodri. Whether he could see all of the ball - I think that's a fair enough debate - but if he wasn't sure (which he told Lampard he wasn't) then he should have gone to check anyway regardless of Kavanagh's mutterings.

They'd have checked the offside only after it was given handball, as per VAR procedure.

However, referee's call, seeimgly (according to Lampard) was that there was no offside - so you'd imagine that came from the lino on that side.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

This is nothing about Liverpool. It's about us being denied the opportunity to earn an important point, that would have moved us up a position in the table, through a diabolical decision for which there is no logical explanation.

You're missing my point completely.

I said the media aint arsed about the decision itself affecting us they only are highlighting it because it affected Liverpool in the title race.

The media didnt say a peep when we got screwed by VAR with Southampton and Spurs because they dont care unless it affects one of their darlings.

Yep. The linesman at the time obviously didn’t give it as offside. But that could potentially have been overturned if the handball had been given (ludicrous it wasn’t).

We need to use the injustice of it to galvanise us. Could be worth more than a point in the long run.

I think when 38,000 people shout, unplanned, the same words, it might give you a bit of a clue about what has just happened.
