I watched it in slow-motion and it looks like there was a sniper at Anfield who shot Lamela in the back. VVD's leg didn't even touch him where he put his hand in terrible agony. Leg hardly even touched him and even if it did, Lamela jumped at VVDs leg who was watching the ball and even pulled his leg away.

But yeah I've said it before, Tottenham are filth. And hell of a title contenders.

Sorry but watch the replay of the first one it's Lovren's fault he touches the ball which instantly means Kane is no longer offside, the second Lovren plays the ball the only way Kane could be called for offside was if he interfered with the play as it was heading to Lovren which he wasn't you can't be offside if the opposing team plays the ball.

You should also keep up to date with the laws of the game as linesman have been given powers to bring attention incidents that they see clearly that the referee may have missed and in the second penalty's case it was a foul, like it or not football has entered the age of more monitored refereeing with VAR and the new officiating powers. People have always complained about referees now this is the result VAR fully comes into play next season.

If the ball rebounded off Lovren then Kane should have been called offside. If Lovren played the ball then Kane was onside. I think attempting to block a shot or a pass counts as rebound. I didn't see this incident yesterday though so I don't know if it was offside or not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzTJ0K-eLZM That's a link to the next penalty. I don't think VAR would have called it. Simply touching another player isn't a foul. A challenge / tackle should be made in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force. Also the ref saw it and didn't call for penalty..

Soo..er Kane just basically admitted he dived.

"I felt contact and I went down. I'm not going to jump out of the way because it's football."

So much for staying on your feet and trying to score huh, Kane? Nope, feel contact, fall over and get the penalty... that you missed. Good Job.

You might want to check up on things because that's how it does work Lovren attempted to play the ball that's why offside wasn't given

^{"Firstly, I think it's a foul. Regarding the offside, there's no doubt Kane is initially in an offside position, but once Lovren looks to take ownership of the ball, which he tries to do without doubt, that begins a new phase of play.}

_{The discussion between linesman Eddie Smart and Moss centres around whether a) Lovren has played the ball, and b) whether Kane impacts the play, i.e. moves towards Lovren, and interferes with play, which he doesn't. Would managers know this? When referees go into clubs at pre-season, things like this are explained. The key thing here is: did Lovren clearly try to play the ball? And he did."}

The rules don't say the player has to control it, a deflection is when a ball hits a player with them unable to act not when they try to play the ball and miscontrol. VAR also wasn't used for the second one and VAR is not a person either.

Except the rules here say Kane did not interfere between the pass and Lovren getting the ball Kane being offside means had he not touched the ball offside would have been called sorry but you have no leg to stand on here both the rules and someone who knows the rules have explained this whether you accept it or not.

VAR is the system that records play from every angle where the cameras are the assistant who tends to it doesn't watch it he only refers to it when an incident happens in the match and the officials ask him to check you're mistaken in thinking someone watches it all the time it's explained in the very link I gave you.

What are you on about, VAR is definitely a person or even a group of referees. VAR team can even recommend a review to the ref, they're watching it all the time. It's explained around the internet in numerous articles.

"The process begins with the video assistant referee(s) and the assistant video assistant referee (AVAR) reviewing the play in question on a bank of monitors in the video operation room (VOR) with the assistance of the replay operator (RO), this can be triggered by the referee requesting the review."

They're not always watching and when they are the are too many monitors to follow which is why it's often an official who requests it during an incident.

The rules state that a player has to interfere with the current play in which as the official explained in the link the current play was the pass to Kane, when Lovren intercepted the ball that became classed as a new set of play which negated Kane being offside. The official has highlighted this is explained to managers every season so again you don't have a leg to stand on here its time to get over it.

I think that is more the idea of what he achieved in that game. 100 goals, make that news, not him trying to win that 100 goals by getting a penalty and not from open play. Trust me, he isn't rewarded for diving, there are a lot of football fans that hate that side of the game. Get hit in the box, go down. Doesn't matter how small the contact is. Middle of the pitch they jump over or continue on and the ref 'plays advantage'. The players need to get in the mentality that it also exists in the box, if he stumbles that's a foul, he has the opportunity to recover and score but if he isn't able to it's a penalty. But instead players go down.

All those players you listed dived and I don't like any form of diving. Cheating is cheating no matter where you are on the pitch or who you are. And both penalties in this game were both cases of the play going down regardless of the intensity of the contact made. It's sad.
