[maltaseagull]

Watching Arsenal v Liverpool.
Lots of poor passing and hoof ball.
Actually heard Arsenal fans for once.

“Caicedo, a midfielder acquired for £115m, looked lost and had to be taken off for his own good.”

Absolute comedy gold own goal there

Question for the refs:

Why is that not considered a handball and a penalty?

Well, if it hadn’t ended up in the net, the ref would have had a decision to make on the handball.

As it did, there’s no need to even think about it.

Not a ref, but shirley it would have been a penalty if it somehow hadn't gone in?

Looks like Martinez will be out long term again for United so they’ll be back to being terrible at the back again

 

[dazzer6666]

Incredible defending from Liverpool

 

[Eric the meek]

Went out to the kitchen to put a pizza in the oven and missed the bloody goal.

 

[pasty]

Marvellous cock up between VVD and Alisson there

 

[Motogull]

Ha ha Alison.

Ha ha Alison.

Two awful goals from 2 "top teams".
I don't remember ever hearing Arsenal fans singing at the Emirates library.

Exactly, IMHO it's a weird quirk of football.
The offense happened before the ball crossed the line so if we dealt with everything in chronological order the game would be pulled back for the penalty. But in this case the offense is overlooked because it resulted in a goal.

What would happen if I just picked the ball up, ran 20 yards with it and chucked it in the net? I bet it wouldn't be allowed, but its essential the same thing, with the exception of intent.

You would have invented the game of rugby, albeit 150 years too late.

Konate sent off

 

[Eric the meek]

I always thought VVD wasn't a dirty player. Now I'm not so sure.

 

[Badger]

Konate sent off

Andy Townsend geniunely thought that wasn't a yellow card. The CLOWN

 

[edna krabappel]

Konate sent off. Van Dijk has been horrendous today. I'm assuming the tears in his eyes from learning about Klopp's departure have impaired his ability to see the ball or the opponents running past him.

 

[edna krabappel]

Oh Alisson
