I thought I knew the offside rule.
Something must have changed.
Kane clearly in offside position when ball played forward by Spurs player.
Lovren made contact and, according to the officials and pundits, played Kane onside.
However Kane's initial offside a split second earlier should have been penalised.
Justice done with pen save.

A case of officials not knowing the rules - as it was when Hoilett had a goal chalked off at QPR. Complete opposite situations with two wrong decisions.
I thought it was the correct decision because
1 loveren made a **** of himself
2 Liverpool are scum
Klop ain’t happy

It was an interesting one. Here are the offside laws.
http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-...w-11---offside
As I understand it, the three rules affecting this incident are
1) Being in an offside position is not an offence
2) Kane doesn't make 'an obvious attempt to clearly impact on the ability of the opponent to play the ball'
3) Lovren 'deliberately plays the ball'
That's why the decision was correct by the letter of the law, I think, but I still agree with you.
Even though Kane doesn't affect Lovren's ability to play the ball, the fact that he is standing so close to him means it affects how Lovren can play it. He can't take a touch then clear it in case Kane jumps on the touch, he can't leave it for the keeper because he doesn't know if Kane is offside or not so he's forced to take a swing at it which leads to the penalty.
There was an incident earlier when the linesman didn't put his flag up till the last second which led to a collision between the striker and the keeper. Football's got some odd rules.
I don't care as long as the Scousers drop points and never win a raffle
Common sense tells you that Kane is affecting play by being there but the rules don't seem to cover the advantage he's gaining, unless I've missed something. The fact that he doesn't move towards Lovren or the ball (or obstruct his view) seems to make it ok.
They should go back to offside being offside. If I wanted complicated rules and interpretation I’d watch rugby.
Klopp has made 96 changes to his starting eleven .
I assume that the 'interfering with play' thing was so vague that they brought in laws to clarify it but, as the Kane incident showed, the laws don't quite make sense. Gallagher was only explaining what the rules are and that the officials got it right, even though we could all see that the law is an ass in this case.
The second penalty was a definite one, quite funny too. Klopp was an ass afterwards.
The ref used the 4th offical in this incident,He pointed to the spot seconds after asking if the 4th offical could help.
I cant' remember where but away under dave jones a 4th offical ruled out a goal from 50 yards away.
