  1. The same thing happened in vice versa situation few mins ago…

  2. So forest had possession of the ball outside of the box, konate went down with a head injury, the ref should of returned the ball to forest as they had possession of the ball outside of the box, he gave it to Liverpool and they went up then other end and scored, in the first half a similar thing happened but as Liverpool were in possession inside the area it had to be returned to forest.

  4. Whichever gets the Tory forest fans in a rage. I’m happy with that. Filthy cunts

  5. Clattenburg isn’t exactly impartial in this, he’s employed by Forest

  7. Forest > employ Mark Clattenburg as an “analyst” > get mad about refrees > nothing happens

  10. Konate got kicked in the face from a egregious high boot during that play. No booking or anything. Should’ve been a free kick to LFC so I don’t see what the controversy is.

  11. The only reason that game was still being played when Kounate went down is because their keeper decided to waste time and stay down for 5+plus minuted because an 18 year old jumped into him. If he just got up and carried on there wouldn’t have been 8 minutes of extra time and Forest would have got a point.

  12. Marinakis the President of Nottingham last year accused Clatt of being bribed while leading the Greek Football Committee and now hires him!

  13. Terrible decision. It was a blatant foul on Konate, and dangerous play with the bit at head height, yet he didn’t give it. The rest is all irrelevant.

  14. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer club. Scabs and cheats. Hope the point deduction puts you where you belong.

  15. On MOTD they just say Konate was injured by Kelleher. Three replays that don’t show the contact and no mention of the flying boot. I honestly don’t know what happened based on those replays, but as I was watching I couldn’t see how Konate got a head injury from Kelleher’s contact.

  16. Forest got the ball back twice between the incident and the goal

  17. This will be the only time it’s mentioned. The next time something goes against Liverpool, they’ll all be back to their angry ‘we never get anything’ tears like this never happened. Like the Van Dik handball at Brighton or the 2 penalties Chelsea could have had against them etc etc

    Biggest laugh is they all think prem refs are biased against them, especially Tierney

  18. Everyone moaning seems to be totally missing the rules.

    Drop ball is for the defending team when the incident occurs with the ball in the box, or last touched in the box.

    The fact that the ball continued to be played doesn’t change that the whistle to stop play refers back to the incident that occurred and the state of play at that time – as it always does.

    Just because the whistle happened 5 seconds later doesn’t make that passage of play valid. If the flag for offside goes up but the ball goes in the net before the whistle, is it a valid goal? Of course not – the whistle stopping play brings play back to the moment of what it refers to.

    Same and opposite happened a few minutes before, also correct.

    If we’re discussing bad decisions then konate getting a forest boot to the head should have been a foul/yellow/red take your pick. Forest fans want to ignore the egregious high boot while splitting hairs over correct drop ball possession. You can’t have it both ways, even if the ref was wrong.

  19. Finally justice for spuds match fuck up by referees.

  21. The ref appeared to blow for a head injury so the ball should have been given back to forest. You can say that the referee missed a foul, but whether or not he missed the foul doesn’t mean he gets to forget these rules as well.

  23. Where is the controversy? That mistake happened in the 96th min and the goal was scored in the 98th, Forest had a whole 2 mins to defend and clear the ball.

  25. Jesus Christ… Everyone is acting like Tierney called for a drop ball and then walked to the other side of the field and dropped the fucking ball into Nottingham’s goal for the win by himself.

    If Nottingham knew how to kill a game off, this wouldn’t be a problem… Just like last week.

  26. When the Forest player took a ball to the head and the game was stopped, Liverpool had possession.

    The ref then gave the drop ball to Forest.

    At least he was consistent.

  27. 2 minutes and 3 phases of play before we scored the goal, what utter bollocks and if people are seriously comparing this to a legitimate goal being wrongfully called offside then they need their brains examined.

  28. I love how Konate did a Bruno but isn’t given the same treatment.
