1st Penalty (Kane).... Discuss!!!

Now, whether an AR form 35 yards should be over-ruling a clear "no foul" signal from a ref 6 yards away is a big question here. If my ref gives a clear signal like that, no way I am undermining him/her. You just can't do that as an AR.
Whenever I AR, the instruction is to only get involved if the ref hasn't made a clear decision - and Moss made a big "no penalty" shout immediately. Instructions might be different in the PL, but at my level, the AR shouldn't be getting involved once the ref has said no, however clear a penalty he thinks it is.
Hi As Lovren has " played" the ball albeit poorly it is a reset of offside in which case Kane was not offside. To quote Law 11First penalty looked like a dive to me anyway, but given Kane was in an offside position when the ball was originally played to him, isn't Lovren's scuffed touch irrelevant and the offside should have been given?
Just looking at the post-match thread on reddit shows how many people don't have a clue about the LotG.
Tru dat!Well of course.
Personally, what I find more disturbing is that there's a deeply ingrained view that referees are attention seekers and drama-queens. That bothers me far more than their ignorance about the Laws to be honest.
