VAR would have sorted it.

Wouldn't VAR have called Vertonghen on the foul in the immediate build up?

I didn't see that one

I'm guessing that's what the ref said about Mane kicking Rose in the face too. Looked properly nasty, I think if Rose had have made something of it Mane would have been in trouble.

That Fermino eye gouge was a shocker too, Jan should have been off for that.

I think on the first one Mane kicked the ball into his face at more or less the same time rose was heading it so his foot didn't actually touch him.

The Firmino thing was obviously an accident but I suppose people have been sent off for less (eh Markovic for us in a European tie)

What's the definitive on the offside first goal. I thought if you didn't touch it then you didn't count or are we back to "interfering with play" now?

denying Spurs a blatant penalty.

That was the least blatant penalty I've seen in a long time. Most honest people will admit it didn't look remotely like a pen in real time. Although the replay from the perfect angle showed it was.

The blatant penalty was Van Dyke being held. If Oliver is so biased, why didn't he give it?

I'd like to think he could have found a way of allowing the goal and awarding the penalty against VVD but the standard of reffing is nowhere near as good as the Howard Webb days.

It's a stupid rule.
How did his action impact the goalie? He'd already missed it hadn't he?
How an assistant referee is supposed to work that out is beyond me.

Tech note:

Not if the ball isn’t in play its not. And in that photo they are waiting for the corner to be taken.

yep, in the pub with a mixture of fans including Spuds - no one called the penalty in real time (it was)

love all the sofa refs saying it was blatant, when they'd be honking their guts up after 20 mins of refereeing to EPL standard

It's true though, still not played any decent team yet.

What's with the odd ko time on Tuesday?

It's basically been pre-season up till now. Season starts this week. Some very tough games coming up over the next couple of months for us.

1) Just LOL. You mean "Most Liverpool fans will admit it didn't look remotely like a pen in real time".
2) It was never a penalty on Van Dyke. So much so, even all the highlight shows failed to mention it.

Blinkered..

Us sofa refs didn't have the view of the referee or the linesman did we?

Its irrelevant as we scored but the holding carried on when ball was on in play

Id just let the game go, Spurs were soundly beaten, they were lucky we made some wrong decisions with the final passes we could have had 5
