Southampton away Sunday 24th 2pm

[BG1973]

All 3 pics show contact before attacker reaches the line. Why don't they have these pictures available ffs.

You can tell jack **** from still images.

Bollocks to that, I've got tickets for the Lille game, my first ever Anfield CL experience

Did you go corporate in the end?

The only video I could find that still works. Dibling’s right foot is studs up on Robbo, it’s his momentum that takes Robbo into the box. I’m biased as ****, so not a pen for me.

Regardless, if Spud is right it doesn’t matter which bit of Robbo makes contact for the foul, it’s a pen. It’s a ****ing stupid rule as Norbs has highlighted.

For me his foot is on the line at the point of contact therefore it's a penalty.

If the roles were reversed we'd be screaming blue murder if the penalty wasn't given.

[Kenneth]

It’s a pen. Nothing to do with the the relative position of the line and the foot, the foul contact is knee to knee (6 seconds) and that’s above the line.

Fabinho had one a few years ago too, which shouldn't even have been a foul.

I'm fairly certain we had another outside of the box one too, was it Masch?

Genuinely don't think I've seen it in another match.

I think the penalty box definition includes that useless little semi circle outside as well, so I imagine anything inside that semi circle counts as the penalty box

That semi-circle only has a use for penalty kicks, so that all non-penalty takers are a minimum distance from the spot. Other than that, it serves no purpose.

Yeah, it was the only option available. Brodies Bar in the Anny Road end. We're going to stay in the Titanic Hotel overnight as they've proper parking. I can cancel that though in booking and might look elsewhere but it looks a nice hotel

[Norbs]

Might do a Bramley Dock tour in the morning .

Huh. For these type decisions they surely run the tape to point of contact and then start analysing still images. If that's what these images are it's clear in every picture that attacker is outside the box. They just didn't have the right images.

Computer games already have this for replays and it won't be long before VAR does.

Not the point of contact, the point of the foul. As we often hear, contact does not equal foul. For me it's the knee contact that brings the attacker down.

Titanic is quite nice, but a wee bit out of the way when waking. Spa is quite nice too apparently and for some reason I can imagine you enjoying a good spa.
