Take a straight edge, line it up with the halfway line. Move it left until you reach our last defender. Sterling is a yard nearer our goal, clearly offside. "Benefit of doubt" doesn't come into it.
Good patronising skills there
Yes I agree. We were lucky not to be hammered. Vertonghen was a colossus before his self inflicted injury.Reality sinks in.
Bluemoon.
"Just had a bit of a worrying thought - despite playing fantastic football and creating a bagful of chances, were it not for two most uncharacteristic lapses by the usually excellent Lloris, we wouldn't have scored today."
Ahab
It's a big gap to fill and it worries me. Ben Davies needs to play the next game.
Your snapshot has been taken after Kolarov has player the ball. Also you can't be offside with your arm
You would think with all the dirty oil money they have they would at least hire some guys to sit in the stadium and make some noise??
Or maybe they need to invest in the clicky things like Leicester did last season?
So glad we have an atmosphere at the lane, and no amount of money could buy that and take it to the likes of shiteh!!!

- btw that white line cannot be parallel to the halfway line - you have to allow for perspective
Sounds like a gooner cat to me. You know what to do. Cloth, string, heavy weight, canal.
wtf?
They really have a persecution complex. They probably call Liverpool "victims", which on this showing is the height of hypocrisy (and entitlement). Is there no one on that board to tell them to get a fucking grip? I bet they turned a blind eye to the Balotelli stamp and subsequent penalty, Rose's (to be rescinded) red card and penalty, Dawson disallowed goal, etc. And if yer know yer 'istory there was a Francis Lee goal that he punched into our net, and then laughed about it, Maradonna style.
I very much hope that Southstand Billy managed to get in a "Lads, it's only Citeh" before he got binned off. Those fans've got no class whatsoever.
I thought that at the time, but was distracted by everything else that happened.
I have the game and looked at it again and it is looks suspiciously offside.
So kind of makes the whole argument invalid as maybe it should have been offside before it should have been a penalty.

I'm still struggling to get my head around the metamorphosis in our team. How many times in the past have we played the opposition off the park, created loads of chances then conceded goals to drop points. With a dodgy refs decision against us to add insult to injury. Now we've done it to them, and I have to admit, I like it. It seems to go some little way towards making up for all those times against Man U, scum etc we've been on the wrong end. Have you noticed that whenever one of those do it, you get "that's the sign of a good team, they get something from the game even when they play poorly" whereas with us its just "they played poorly".
I think Kyle's, er, challenge on Sterling epitomises the change. A couple of seasons back he was good for one shocker every game, pot luck whether it meant a goal against. He's matured so much under Poch, he's cut out those errors and yesterday kept us in the game with a steely piece of measured professionalism.
It is priceless to hear the newly moneyed Citeh fans crying and whinging. Your sugar daddy spends all those millions and you still can't beat a spurs team (net spend £1m) playing at their worst at your own place. Life's just not fair is it?

I didn't think it possible but we are still getting karmic dividends off of Balotelli's transgressions.
Taking the point and getting the hell out.

loads of excellent posts in this thread. Take a bow TFC. Absolutely spot on that the Citeh lot are a whining, absent minded bunch. Let's forget about Balotelli stamping on Parker, then going on to score a match winning penalty. Walker pushed Sterling just enough to unbalance him. Sterling had definitely started his run in an offside position. He doesn't even get the benefit of the doubt for my mind. By not giving the penalty, Mariner simply didn't compound the mistake of not blowing up for the offside.
We didn't play at our best & were without Verts so had to reshuffle at the back , but we're still good enough to claim a draw at one of the best teams in the country.
That draw feels almost as good as a win, because at 2-0 down I don't mind admitting that I didn't see a way back into the match after seeing how we were getting outplayed for so long.
But we dug in deep & I think we got a just reward.
As an aside, Mane's goal shouldn't have counted. controls it with his hand & scores?

It's pretty much the same view as in the post you disagreed with (pasted in again below).
The rule states that it's offside for any part of the body that can legitimately score a goal.
That's some crazy as shit perspective if you think Sterling's head is onside. Bear in mind that whichever inbred video'd his TV with a potato also held it pointed down (see screen frame), which actually means the perspective would look worse again on a non-tilty replay..
If you want to know just how offside it was, and using the comment of 'consulting the rulebook', here's a sample from FIFA's official documentation on offsides:
Correction there, pedantic alert.
They didn't end our unbeaten record, we never lost.
Agreed should have said Winning run.
No pen for me. Sterling
What a result for us considering we systematically looked off sorts. What a strong mental strength this team has. Sterling / Walker push, no pen for me. Sterling couldn't decide to go for goal or dive, he did neither and thats what happened. The shove, the flimsies of touches, shouldn't have mattered, if he ws determined to go for goal. He couldn't make a decision to shoot or fall over and fooked it. He is the disgrace, always falling over. I cant stand that gormless look on his face when he dives. he was falling over before Rose even got near him for the tackle. He pulled Wanyama on top of him looking for a pen. He cant play football so decides to cheat. 50 million £s for a diving twat.
AGREE AGREE AGREE!!!!!
