Jurgen Klopp Sack Watch

So I gather from the pointless argument over offsides that Klopp never did get charged for his comments?

Why would he get charged? He clearly refained from saying anything controversial as he himself admitted he would get the worlds biggest fine. What he said about the reeree was spot on.They really don't know their jobs fully and need to be taught.

Because other managers have been banned from the sideline before for saying the things he said. Doesn't matter whether you think he was 'spot on' or not. It is clear that Klopp is the FA's little pet.
 
hmm, this is actually quite interesting (you may not agree with that)

if he's offside when the ball is played - obviously offside, even

but he (or anyone) then comes back to onside before they then go for the ball & get the ball, you could probably make the decision either way

1 - he was offside when the ball was played & gained possession

or

2 - it's a new phase of play because the player goes back onside & makes a definite separate movement, no advantage was actually gained from being in the offside position in the first place
VAR would check. If their image shows him to be offside, even by 1 millimeter, they would call the offside.

@montpelier man what are you even going on about? :lol:

well... :D :D

let's say he is offside, :rolleyes: - (when the ball is headed)

he comes back onside to then move to go for the ball - and I now this sounds batshit, but by doing this he essentially creates his own new phase of play

possibly

I'm not sure about the VAR either - it really is incredibly marginal
 
Jon Moss and his assistant were worried about Lovren but dear old Richard Keys believed Wijnaldum played Kane onside for Spurs first penalty. Moot point as Kane missed the penalty mind you.

I just think it shows what a shambles the whole offside decision is. In the old days before we had moron pundits poring over slow motion footage, Kane would have just been called offside & that would have been it. Now we have a whole circus around it.
 
Is there any offside or penalty decision that was discussed for so many days?

It was a nothing decision in a grand scheme of things, didn't even impact result in any way.

Agree 100% and all the diving shenanigans!

it's classic manager diversion tactics by Klopp. His team were poor in the 2nd half and no-one is mentioning that. Same after the West Brom defeat, post match analysis was all re VAR and not the actual performance. Liverpool fans say that KARIUS and VVD played well. I think Karius did ok but at the end of the day he was badly at fault for a goal and give away a penalty. VVD did play well but conceded a penalty in injury time that cost them all 3 pts. Therein lies the difference between top players and good players, they are focused for the whole game, not parts of it. We know ourselves, anyone of Rojo, Smalling and Jones can be having a great game and than do one stupid thing that can prove costly. Klopp is smart, no-ones really talking VVD right now. I've followed this lad back when he played at Celtic, he's a good player no doubt, but he's good for at least 1 major feck up per game and that was back even when he played against poor teams in Scotland. The post match analysis when we lost to Spurs was all how poor we were etc and rightly so. Not seeing that same type of analysis re Liverpool's 2nd half and Klopp's perpetual moaning is taking care of that
 
The first penalty wasn't scored, so irrespective of the circumstances it was given in it had no consequences on the result.

The second penalty was blatant and impacted the result, but rightly. Can't believe this is still an issue.

I think it's a little sad that we've got to a point in football where we stare at slow motion video for 5 minutes to see if a ball brushed against a defenders leg in order to determine if a player was offside. There must be a better rule that can be used for offside.
 
So no repercussions for Klopp eh? All is good, that was just his "colorful personality" and passion eh? A joke.

There is, if you are offside, you are offside. The whole phase of play thing its tedious.
 
@montpelier you're needlessly overcomplicating things. If lamela is offside, when llorente flicks the ball, it's offside. Nothing happens to reset the play.
 
Don't agree. So what you are effectively saying is that if there is ANY contact its a penalty?! Like I said earlier, you would have got laughed off the park yesteryear. Such a shame that most others agree with your point of view. Anyway, I won't change my opinion as I suspect you won't change yours. If you, and others, can watch stuff like that and not feel any sense of disgust, then I fear that the game has now become nothing more than a stage for the benefit of the third rate actors to inflict their "craft" on the gullible public. Here's a question...can you imagine players of the calibre of Duncan Edwards, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Nobby Stiles and others of that ilk acting like that? My last word on the subject.

Posts like this make me wonder if allowing the newbies to post in the mains is the right choice or not. Terrible post.

I don't think that applies anymore though - the header goes nowhere near him, so that wouldn't get flagged, he clearly gets back onside & then sets off for the ball - you distinctly see his movements doing that, there is a step & to the side & then he runs for the ball.

I think it's debatable even under the circumstances that it proceeds to a VAR - matter of opinion anyway, I'm not saying I'm definitely right.

And back in the simpler real world, it just never gets spotted, obviously.
 
He's not being punished because once he does he'll have a discipline on his record and the FA will have no choice but to punish him for every incident going forward, wouldn't be as bad as they are with Jose but they wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye like they are doing here. Which it will be the same thing next time he does it, FA will look the other way on the basis he has no discipline history. I mean that's the only thing I can think of why he wouldn't be charged with bringing the game into disrepute with his comments.

He's not being punished because he's seen as a "Character" whereas Jose is seen as this dour smug twat. Trial by public opinion by the PL. Jose has been punished for far less where as Klopp keeps getting away with it.
 
Liverpool may not have won the premier league in ages, but they lead the league in the Pundit Cup. It’s the only reason Klopp can escape punishment for “the middle of interest” comment. That comment would be enough to suspend any manager in any european league, except Klopp. I would hope Scholes, or Keane, who never hesitate to criticize even our own United players and tactics, would have the guts to call out the FA for pandering to the media.

Eh Richard? If that hits Wijnaldum it's a deflection so cannot make Kane onside. It's the Lovren touch that causes the debate.

No man, that's not how offside works. If Lamela is offside when llorente touches the ball, he's offside. The only way he can get back onside is if the play ends and a new one begins. Since that doesn't happen he's offside

I know, can’t believe we are talking about two penalties that you’ve seen given before, yet our stoneWaller is hardly mentioned... and when it is its with a laugh because it’s funny when a young kid is poleaxed

aye, maybe you're right, there's no actual break in the play, that's for sure

And why is that? My opinion is as good as anyone's. "Newbie" what does that mean? I suspect that I have far more experience of playing and watching the game than yourself.

Says he with all of 400 posts - like that justifies anything newbie or not

Terrible post? Stunning lack of self awareness.

Not pointing it out to you mate. You may have played better and watched more football and even may have better posts. But it's posts such as above which piss me off. O just feel that when newbies posted in the newbie groups, the quality of posts were better. But that's just like my opinion, man.
 
Such an unbearable fecker. Losing his mind when 2-0 up with 5 seconds left on the clock.
 
We can only hope he's moaning about something on Saturday. Preferably an offside, penalty given on the 99th minute of injury time after they've had 3 disallowed goals and he's been sent off for smiling.

So I haven’t avctually seen this but just answer me something?
If he was in an offside position when the ball was played then moved back onside only to then go for the ball. Right?

In between him moving back onside and then going for the ball does anyone in an onside position touch the ball?

If they do then it’s a new phase of play, but if nobody touches it then it is offside.
 
If we win you can guarantee Klopp will have some huge injustice to moan about. The tedious bell end.

I've never seen a United manager moan about anything in my lifetime. Never seen one moan about referees, ghost goals, the amount of time added on etc.
