He's not offside until he becomes "active", and he didn't become "active" as the ball never got to him until after Lovren's involvement, which itself created a new phase of play. "Active" has been drilled down to basically, did he kick the ball or stop an opponent from doing so. Neither of which he did.I will also add that Kane was miles offside from the initial pass before Lovren touched it.
Baffled why the complaints haven't been about that. Odd to say he wasn't interfering in the first passage of play.

Ok fuck the scousers then they don't have a leg to stand onHe's not offside until he becomes "active", and he didn't become "active" as the ball never got to him until after Lovren's involvement, which itself created a new phase of play.

Phase one: Attempted pass Dele to Kane, incomplete, intercepted by Lovren, no offside as Kane not active
Phase two: Attempted clearance by Lovren went to Kane, no offside as "pass" was by Liverpool player
It may not be a good rule but that's the rule. Kane was never offside.
Much like Dele in the box.Ok fuck the scorers then they don't have a leg to stand on

The problem with that quote is that it fundamentally misunderstands the definition of "interfering with play" in the context of offside.There’s a famous quote, from a manager of repute, Bill Nic, Shankly, Busgy, or someone that if you aren’t interfering with play, you shouldn’t be on the pitch.
Three days later and these cunts are still crying like the victims that they make themselves out to be...
If I was in that position in my playing days, I probably would have gone down as well, but I'd have made sure the keeper clattered into me if I was going to go looking for a penalty. All strikers do it, but Kane didn't do a very good job of getting enough contact to justify a penalty...

Dele dives sometimes, I understand his reputation. He doesn't do it nearly as often as is made out (and the one vs Liverpool was soft, he never claimed for it and even tried to play on) but he's earned the reputation.
Kane though, that's ridiculous. He's not a diver. He made no attempt to stay on his feet, sure, but that's no different to any other striker in the league and every other time the pundits say "he has a right to go down" and so on.
Brand Dele, fine, but this crap about Kane is plain wrong.
100%. Many, MANY times I’ve seen Kane get clattered in the box and he muscles on and stays on his feet, to the point that I sometimes wish he had dropped! As you say, ANY striker in the position how found himself in at the weekend would have done the same. And any player or fan that says different is a fucking liar.Dele dives sometimes, I understand his reputation.

The "D" at a corner kick is classed as the byline so under the rules it is impossible to pas the ball forwards.Not really, I thought about that too, but it could be that the ball is placed as far to the left of the "D" as possible:
Today, the ball is barely in the "D" so you could get another 40cm to the left in that picture.....
If all the defenders are lined up on the 6yrd box marking up, you could have one player right on the byline on the edge of the 18yrd box and the ball played diagonally forward to him.
The worrying thing is this is a perfectly legal move, yet I bet 9 out 10 times it would be flagged offside, and if it wasnt, and led to a goal, you would have all the nonsense we are having now, by people who dont know the rules.
In those days would it not haha been offside regardless of if he passed to him? Thought it was black or white offside rather than interference or intent, if you were in an offside position and the ball goes forwards you are offside?
