Second one isn't a dive, VVD clearly kicks Lamela in the back of the calf, probably was a bit offside though but I've only seen one angle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VVD pulls his foot back and just grazes him. He is in the process of diving as that happens. If he doesn't dive to make it look worse than it was then the assistant doesn't give it. Which is funny really as it was the assistant that missed the offside.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You could be right but only VVD and Lamela know how hard the kick was. VVD looked like he knew immediately it was a foul. Just can make any contact with a players legs in the box anymore.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You seemingly can't expect offsides either so perhaps we should stop keeping a line and just assume everything is inside?

I actually think Liverpool played more deeper and camped in their own half more than United on Wednesday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fully expected of a team who have ditched their best attacker to buy the worlds most expensive defender

Passing/Shooting/Heading/Tackling/Clearing/Blocking is all playing the ball, not sure why you think different.

They really missed Couts today. Could cost them too 4

The thing is, if contact is made while he's in a position to score then he doesn't go down IMO. He does so because the chance is gone.

Also, a kick in the calf wouldn't exactly send him on the trajectory he went on.

Its a tricky area.

Blocking the ball and it deflecting to an offside attacker is offside according to the rules. I'm not sure why you think different than the rules.

I think different because I've read the rules, as have the two referees saying he's not offside. It's not a deflection if the player meant to kick the ball.

If you've read the rules then why are you arguing against them? It's one thing not understanding the rules as you haven't read them but not understanding them having read them is a bit weird.

I'm thinking literally the exact same thing towards you, so clearly this isn't going anywhere

Former referee Keith Hackett who makes the exact point I made.

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.
