tbh we're the only ones talking about it. it's no big deal in my opinion Kane just comes across as really pathetic, swearing on his kid's life and all

Kiith

I agree, it was a stupid thing to say, whether or not he got the touch. I get he's determined to win the golden boot again, but christ...steady on Harry.

GavRedKing

Liverpool

I'm assuming Kane wants that goal so he can push on and win a 3rd golden boot in a row and to match his Arsenal hero, Thierry Henrys achievement.

Arsenal

A shocking pr move from Kane and the ridicule he has received is deserved imo.

The mask seems to have slipped for englands golden boy and everyday hero to reveal a self-centred ego maniac by the looks of things.

GavRedKing

Liverpool

Ah I think as footballers go, Kane is pretty grounded IMO.

I know I've given him stick in the my last post but he doesnt seem to have fallen into the trapping of being your typical young English footballer plastered all over social media and the likes.

Hes worked hard on various loans and hes the best #9 in the country and one of the top 5 in world.

That being said, I think it did look a bit petty appealing for the goal.

The over reaction to this hilarious, especially from Liverpool fans. Since the 2-2 draw, the amount of **** posting against Spurs from that quarter is just insane. I've a few Liverpool friends who just won't shut up about any and every little decision that goes Spurs way. It's like they pay more attention to Spurs games than they do their own.

As for the goal, it doesn't look like he got a touch, but the people whose job it is to review these decisions awarded it to him, so it's his goal.

Couldn't agree more, some serious chips on shoulders regards Spurs from Liverpool fans. I'm baffled by it.

Regards Kane claiming the goal, so fcking what? It's been blown way out of proportion all the gifs and memes and even poems by eejits on boards stopped being funny a long long time ago, actually they were never funny!

Agreed. Liverpool fans are jumping on any little thing to attack and ridicule Spurs these days, I never had a dislike to them personally but now I am rooting for whoever they draw in the Champions League semi final.

Kane made it an issue with his "I swear on my child's life" comments. He needs to get a grip

Yea that's fair enough, I'm not surprised that you'll hope Liverpool will lose.

Meh, it's a thing people say! I doubt he's saying it if he didn't get the touch though.

I'm sure everyone on here who isn't a Liverpool fan won't be supporting them either.....but were when we played City as many are clearly jealous of the season they were having up to 2 weeks ago.
I'm personally taking the piss of Kane cause it's beyond pathetic to appeal a goal being awarded to a teammate & swearing on your childs life is embarrassing; I couldn't see Ronaldo or Messi doing that as vain as they are.
Don't care if Salah doesn't get the golden boot or poty cause (a) the award ceremonies are a load of self indulgent sh*te & (b) I'd rather the teams I support wins something than the individuals. I don't keep memories of Suarez being awarded it as much as I did seeing him perform that season.

Utopia Parkway

I'm all for strikers being selfish on the pitch (within reason) but selfish on the pitch trying to score goals not trying to take goals away from teammates in an office a week after the event. Especially when there is literally zero evidence apart from your own word to go on. It's not a good look for anyone.

How is it pathetic if he justifiably feels he touched the ball?? I believe Kane is a genuinely good guy and would not have done all this if he knew he did not touch the ball. The swearing on my child's life bit is just a figure of speech that a lot of people use. Anyway the goal is his now and I await the next stick Liverpool fans will use to beat us with, but that's life.

Not a Liverpool fan, far from it, but it is laughable from Kane to appeal that. Even more laughable his appeal was successful.

His teammate scored that's what's pathetic, if it was an og by all means appeal it if it's obvious.
If you really think Liverpool fans are focusing on Kane or Spurs now just a couple of days after making their first CL semi final in over a decade & are the ones laughing most at Kane you must not use the internet much as everyone is joking about it.

I like Spurs in general but in this case Kane comes across as petulant.

Kane already has the prestigious "goals in a calender year award", which is surely better than any actual silverware or winners medals.

Kane is the one driving this, not Spurs, it would makes no difference what team he played for. I'd prefer he won the golden boot over Salah because he's English and I'd like him to do well at the World Cup, but the appeal is childish and the authorities awarding him the goal, a joke.

So , Kane is driving the "most goals in a calender year"? Or have you switched topics ?
So its Anti-Kane then ? Not just anti-Spurs ?

Wow..... posters commenting on the petulance of a player is somehow transformed into Anti spurs. It really is your first time in here.

Spurs don't really bother me. But what Kane did was ridiculous and small time in effect. He has an extra goal to his name but a serious amount of comedy gold is now be applied to him and rightly so. He is seen a different light, a desperate grab a goal at all costs kind of player.
He deserves 'attention he is getting, that's not anti spurs though.

From what I can tell it appears to be only spurs fans claiming its an anti spurs thing.

Spurs are as inoffensive as it gets. They never win anything so why would other fans even care?

It appears that the Kane story has become a really big deal.

I always like strikers who are 1. excellent and 2. greedy. You wouldn't have seen Alan Shearer saying "no YOU have it"...

Yeh cos, the fans from other clubs using the Kane-gate incident to bash Kane and Spurs would admit, its a Spurs thing?
I suppose the Pool supporters are afraid we will take their "Always the Victims" status ?

I too like excellent strikers, inept ones not so much. Greed also is fine, but when did Shearer go to an appeals panel, long after the game had finished, to claim a goal scored by his team-mate?

I mean, can we not talk about all the important stuff still to be settled in the league this season?

Like, eh... the battle for 9th. Or how Everton's "crisis season" sees them comfortable in the top half of the league?

Oh **** it, back to Kane v Salah so.

Liverpool have short memories !!
April 22 2016 - Liverpool 4-0 Everton.


"Of course I've told him. He would claim it is his but it touched me so it is my goal," said Sturridge of Liverpool's final goal of the night.
"If it touches you you claim it, wherever it touches you - eyelash, wherever. It did actually touch me."

Do Pool or spurs fans really care who wins the PL golden boot?

Its like two bald lads fighting over a comb.

Kane and Spurs deserve every bit of stick they're getting for this nonsense. it's a waste of everyone's time to appeal a goalscorer. i mean, fúck me. it's really not that important.

not really no but you can get unrealistically outraged when one of your rivals does something stupid. it's a nice distraction to kill the time until the draw.

This!

Given the option, I'd be happy enough to see Klopp rest Salah for the league games since we have a Champions League semi final coming up, totally disregarding the golden boot.

Only issue I'd have is our lack of back up so he'd probably need to use one of the plastic yellow training cones on the wing.

All that said, I can totally see why the players themselves are bothered but it doesn't exactly matter beyond that...

Top 4 is wrapped up for both Spurs and Pool as it stands.

Pool could easily rest a few players for the CL and it wouldnt hurt their league position.
