Comments on the BBC, basically your keepers aren’t allowed to play well against Covid FC

Paul Walmsley: We're back to that period where every keeper playing against Liverpool plays an absolute blinder, aren't we?

RSm: Looks like Manuel Neuer is playing for Sheff United this week. He did well for Everton last week against Liverpool
 
Completely disagree(Not on Lee Mason being a joke, everything that happened after that point was a disaster).

The player hit the ball before you could hear the whistle and that was clear. Regardless, the player hit the ball before ANY defender heard and could react to the whistle. The literal point of a whistle is an alert to all players that play is now able to resume. Having it technically be 0.00001 seconds after he blew the whistle is a palpably unfair act and you would be livid if it ever happened to Everton. The player was already in his run up and "taking the free kick" before the whistle was blown and was going to hit it regardless of the coincidence. He did not and was not waiting for the whistle.

The very point of rules and laws is not so that we can all just read a rulebook together and talk about rules and laws because thats soooo much fun. The point is to create a fair and safe game and a level playing field. Anything that falls foul of that should be treated as such and cheered when it is.
I REALLY don't know what clip of the game you have been looking at!

Take a look here from 1:04 onwards.


What can be clearly heard is 1) the ref's whistle; and 2) the thud of boot on ball AFTER the whistle!

You can try to dress it up any way you like. 'Unfair act' - whatever are you talking about? Doesn't matter if the player was already in his run-up, if he strikes the ball after the whistle, it is valid. Do you actually understand the rules & laws of the game? I don't think you do...
 

Brighton, Burnley wins at Anfield just mentioned.

Hahaha Sky, you can’t handle us winning there can you.
In fairness, I took it as a compliment that we weren’t mentioned in that bracket. “Cling on and you might get lucky,” was essentially the message, and that’s not how we beat them.
