Right decision but awful refereeing

Or maybe not, who knows the rules.

Video evidence of the referee giving a penalty off guessing by not knowing if Lovren touched the ball, even asks the 4th official if he can see anything on the TV as if there is VAR.


Draw was probably the right result but this standard of refereeing isn't good enough. Completely goes against what referees are supposed to do.

So much so that you have to keep repeating it.

I suppose Spurs did have all those chances like Son and ummmmm, oh no that's it.

You had a lot of possession in the second half with your defenders, and were woeful in the first half.

Spurs fans banging on about how they dominated when in reality they were extremely fortunate to get anything from the game and needed the officials to get it.

The funny thing is it doesn't matter of Lovren touched the ball as he wasn't trying to play it, it was a block and deflected to Kane which according to the FA's rules, is offside.

Former referee Keith Hacket:-

''Harry Kane was clearly in an offside position and should have been flagged by the referee's assistant, Edward Smart. Moss talked to Smart who told him he was not sure so the referee gave the penalty.

If Dejan Lovren, the Liverpool defender, had been deliberately trying to clear the ball, he would have been deemed to have been playing Kane onside. In my view, however, Lovren did not play the ball deliberately – if he had been, the ball would have been cleared upfield – so it should have been immediately ruled offside.

Moss was left in the mire by his assistant, who should have put up his flag for offside. The whole procedure looked untidy but Moss was fortunate that Kane's spot-kick was saved.

That did not conceal the fact that there was generally poor teamwork between Moss and his two assistants, both of whom were frankly poor and below the standard expected at Premier League level.''

You obviously haven’t seen the match if you think Loveren didn’t try clearing the ball , simple question, why does Loveren take a swing at it ?

Spurs just cheat these days. If they're not diving they're trying to kick teams off the park ala Chelsea and because they've been so shiiiiiiiiiit and a soft touch for half a century people seem to think it's okay.

What from your one shot on target, and a header that went wide.

Liverpool only had two shots on target one in each half, they scored from both. As an attacking force your team were worse than United a Wembley midweek, they caused us more problems.
