Non AFCB - Spurs penalty

"I still don't get why he's not offside in the first phase of play before Lovren touches it."

This.

As the first ball is passed forward, before Lovren touches it, why is the flag not put up?

Well this is related to my point about injuries. Linesman are encouraged to only put the flag up right at the last second. So if we pretend Lovren isn't involved in this situation, the flag would only go up when Kane touches the ball rather than when the pass is made. If that means the goalie clatterering into Kane and breaking his leg then thats tough, its how the law is designed to work. :thumsd:
