I thought Lamela was offside, by a toe. In that situation an error by the linesman is completely understandable and forgivable.
In the first goal, under the laws of the game, Kane wasn't interfering with play, even if he caused Lovren to play at the ball. The right decision was made under the rules, but I think the rules need looking at. I don't think there's any doubt Lovren deliberately played the ball.
In both challenges the contact made was completely worthy of a pen.
The linesman DID NOT fist pump. That's insane. Even if he was biased (which no ref in the BPL is), why would he be dumb enough to demonstrate that in front of tens of thousands of people. Don't be ridiculous.
What was that?

You choose, if you're that willing to clutch at straws. He certainly isn't celebrating for the team that received the decision, I'd bet you anything under the sun on that,
C'mon - he's just given a penalty in the last seconds of a match and right after talking to the ref who goes on his advice, he gets a sneaky fist pump going. Not saying he's celebrating for Spurs but it's a bad look for any official to do that. At any point did I make it out to be anything more than an observation?
Fact is fact and got nothing to do with straw clutching.
Let the man fist pump all he wants, he made a good decision.
He thought made a good decision - Lamela was offiside.
I can pretty much bring up what I want to - it's a forum for discussion and you tried to tell me uncategorically that there wasn't a fist pump. I enjoy being right.
Lamela was borderline. On replays its the difference of a hair. Nothing wrong with a linesman missing that.
You're more than welcome discuss that, but if you don't think it was a celebration you might want to discuss that in an "off topic" thread. I said that it was not a fist pump celebrating the penalty, as you heavily implied.
But keep thinking you won, its about time Liverpool fans got that feeling
