Liverpool had a narrow victory over newly-promoted Bournemouth last night after a controversial Christian Benteke goal secured a 1-0 win at Anfield.
Philip Coutinho's outstretched leg didn't make contact with a cross from Jordan Henderson however he most certainly interfered with play meaning he should have been ruled offside before Benteke scored his first goal for Liverpool.
Coutinho made a slight movement towards the ball. Bournemouth may feel aggrieved. Watch on SS1 http://t.co/aFaPNAMdnm pic.twitter.com/TVkTTf1Tb0

Gary Neville is clearly fed up with inconsistent offside ruling in the Premier League as his half-time analysis on Monday Night Football showed.
The Man United legend said,
They cock about with the offside every year and they don't make it any better.
@GNev2 is not a happy man..! #LFCpic.twitter.com/MwE6tdknAo — #66 Sports (@hashtag_66) August 17, 2015
Neville and Carragher continued their analysis of the goal after the match after an interview from aggrieved Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe. The MNF duo explained exactly what the problem with the goal was and how Countinho's presence distracted goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
While Bournemouth left Anfield disappointed, twitter was clearly left delighted following Neville's choice of words and reacted accordingly.
"They cock about with the offside rule every year and they don't make it any better." Gary Neville tells it straight.

Did Gary Neville just say "they cock about with the offside rule ..."

Gary Neville using the term *cock about* before the watershed caused much discussion, laughter & rewinding in our house

'Cock About ... With Gary Neville' is an MNF spin off quiz show asking to be made. It could be the new Noel's House Party.
