Andy Robertson has just smoked a bowl of spice at half time.

O.O
 
Been a weird game. Ancelotti has given us more of a game with Napoli and fecking Everton than he's done with real so far.

Our wing play has been poor. Diaz and Salah been very ineffective.
 
Is Philip Walton on crack?

If the ball is played into the goalscorer's path by an opposition player, it's onside whether it was accidental or otherwise. The rule has always been that way, right?
I can’t believe he said that shite with a straight face. Talking straight out of his bunghole
 
I dont get it, doesn't it get cleared into Fabinho, therefore making the initial clearance where the offside resets as such? Very weird.
 
Valverde wasn't passing it to Benzema as the ball is not going in that direction at all if no Pool-players touch it. How the feck can it then be offside ?
 
Second dose of pills has been given at half time
 
hahaha have you been on the stella’s all day or something? even my 80 year old nan can see fabinho clearly touches it last

Yes. But Valverde touches it before.

What are you not getting?

Valverde touches it. Ergo Fabinho BLOCKS IT, not passes it.

It's quite simple actually.
 
It hit Fabinhos knee, no one tries to make a tackle with the knee, therefore it isn't deliberate play on the ball = correct decision, as much I wish it would have ruled in.
 
The ref didn't give it, VAR did.

You're offside if there are not two players between you and the goal (those 2 players don't have to include the goalkeeper);

The decision is that when Valverde touched the ball, it hit Fabinho and went to Benzema who was offside.

The only debate is whether Fabinho deliberately gave the ball to Benzema, if involuntary then Benzema's offside.

But Liverpool are lucky.

No it's not whether Fabinho deliberately passed to Benzema as he obviously didn't the same way that a misplaced pass from a keeper would not be deliberate (but still onside). It's whether there was an attempt to play the ball, which I'd agure there clearly was. Both defenders attempted to play the ball and both actually touched it before Benzema did.
 
Let me say it again for all the blind folk on the caf.

Valverde touches the ball, ergo its a block, not a pass.

Ergo, not a goal.

The rule is fine.

Its all you blind folk that's the problem.
Konate deliberately plays the ball and he does. It doesn’t have to be a pass ffs, just deliberately playing it.
VVD Mis hits a header and it falls to an offside Benzema , Benzema is not offside
 
Not being deliberate is stupid when Valverde's intention was to shot, and not pass it to Benzema either.

I am.pretty sure there was similar goal for Liverpool just few weeks/months back in the PL and they told us it was a goal because of the same rules. :lol:
 
As Peter Walton explained, as the ball was deflected and not passed by a Liverpool player, the goal is offside.
Peter Walton is full of shit. The ball clearly came off Fabinho from a deliberate tackle that he made in an attempt to nick the ball off Valverde, which he was successful in.
 
Half-way there. Bring on Cama and Rodrygo in the next half, and give the first team 30 mins to have a crack at this. If all else fails, there will be the dodgy penalty to fall back on again in this round.
 
I’m absolutely furious here still can’t believe they have not awarded a perfectly legitimate goal after so many replies. Konate plays the Fabinho who passes the ball to Benzema. How can this be an offside, can anyone explain?
 
Yes. But Valverde touches it before.

What are you not getting?

Valverde touches it. Ergo Fabinho BLOCKS IT, not passes it.

It's quite simple actually.
it literally is quite simple. it doesn’t matter that valverde touched it, it comes off 2 liverpool players after that. it’s a goal.

I'm sure Peter Walton said it was the correct decision.
 
Have ever heard anything so ridiculous in your years watching the game?

It's mental.
No, when I heard it live I nearly spat my drink out. In what world would someone intentionally pass it to an opposition striker in their own box? Maybe he means passing it to a team mate but it's intercepted? Stupid rule either way.
