Great to sterling delivering. Fantastic player who’s finally added goal scoring to his armoury.

The Lad had to put up with so much **** from the nation (a lot of it was racially motivated) but he’s been a model pro.

It’s a shame we ****ed up when he did - he would be perfect in our team.

It’s the press that’s given him a hard time. 99% of England fans have always seen what he can bring.

Cheers but not the final pass, but on the through ball to sterling Kane is well ahead of Sterling and clearly offside
Givent that the only time Kane gets back onside is just as the pass from sterling comes across how is that the second phase?
This means you can stand a player in the box, play down either side of him then pass it
I know it had nothingto do with the result just trying to understand at what point that it became second phase?

Yeah... that’s what you see do loads. I think it should be offside as your gaining an advantage but if the first pass goes wide then they just allow it as it’s classed as second phase

Its just a very subjective rule at this point but the intent behind this is to make the game flow so we have to accept the "confusion" as a game with 50 stops for offside is no fun either.

For me if a forward is advanced of the line but is not offside then the Defenders MUST position themselves to be able to somehow cover him in the next phase. Thus he is automatically interfering with play.

There is a huge difference with a guy who made a run which was not played to and how is jogging back of stops and is clearly showing he's not going for it and a guy who is running offside and the ball just doesn't happen to be exactly at him but he ends up taking the defenders attention away.

It is after all the forwards job... so he will go do it.



Kane with respect to him for doing it is always looking for an angle. Take his "offside" goal in Fa cup for example. where it was a throw in and he was off. it was also quick thinking by i think rose to throw it to him too.

you really need to read the offside rule think you may find your example would not be deemed interfering with play by most refs.

no.

why assume I don't know the rule when I see it not being applied week in week out.

defenders do have to cover the next phase and if ball is not directly to a player it's not flagged.

e.g... I can run as a striker behind a left side cb but the ball goes out to wing but I've already distracted that left full with my run. if next ball is to me and forward ok but my run has already gained.my.team a bit of space.... if of course the defender reacts to it and not just assuming I am off.
 
With regard to Sterling, he has had a lot of racist abuse which is completely unacceptable and he's right to speak out. The fact it's come as he's improved as a player is telling.

That aside, he forced a move when he was starting to improve and in my view should have stayed at least another season. He's just another in a long line of players who show no loyalty for the effort and belief put into developing them. One thing that sticks in my mind about him was his reluctance to step up and take a penalty.

He had the opportunity to join the best team in England, rather than stay and work under Rodgers who is a muppet?

I don’t think you can begrudge of him of choosing that option. A decision which was justified given his development since.

My view is we as fans should support sterling, and rose and all players of minority ethnic backgrounds and also anyone of a non-heterosexual preference as there is no place in sport of racial or homophobic abuse be it conscious or unconscious

My view is also that if someone is not liked due to their actions that should not be confused with Racism. It was clear he had no intent to sign a new deal, which was ok but he also in games deliberately stunk the place out and imo deliberately missed chances and didn't try. As you said... take a pen.. oh no that might help LFC too much... if they ar ein CL again i won't get my move.

If players put the effort in and their contract is up they are more than entitled to move. Thats the law but also football is not slave labour (no matter how highly paid the slaves are)

the fact is sterling was under contract but wanted to run it down while pretending to negotiate. I know rogers hung him out to dry too with his fabulous offer comments but theres no excuse for deliberately playing badly to force it. When we sold him for 49mil he has 2 years left on his contract. So if he's booed at anfield its not racism its personal. And like it or not when its personal its personal.

We should still support the players to fight against all forms of abuse.

We should also all read about the "fan" who racially abused a 5 year old child at the match last weekend that raised money for LFC foundation. A man appeared in court having abused a little child who kicked his chair by accident at his first ever anfield game. This "fan" was arrested and appeared in court.

his antics were not justified at all.

But our booing of him has been amply justified as he's shown it gets at him and he plays absolute ****.

He was constantly booed at pretty every ground and even at England games. It’s only now that people have woken up to the **** he’s endured.

Panto booing at games is comical, Beckham had it for a season after the 98 WC. It's the stick the press give Sterling that is unforgivable. He was booed at Anfield and I would guess he still is, like Rooney, Barkley etc will get/got at Goodison.

Ashley Cole was booed and mocked, but he did cheat on wor Cheryl...

Can't blame him for making the step up, he did the same to QPR and if you dont take the chance to move to the best backed clubs, will that chance come again
