Villa (H) Post Match Thread

That part of the law does not relate to the Rodri incident because Rodri didn’t receive the ball from Mings.

Further down in the laws it states;
“a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball”

This is where it shows that Rodri was not offside because he didn’t impede Mings or challenge for the ball at the point of Mings controlling the ball here:

the more you see this the more i dont understand why any of Mings team mated didnt shout form him to leave it. Rodri couldnt have gone for the ball as it rolled to the keeper. Why is Mings even playing the ball ? He is an international its almost a school boy error yet the press/media are blaming City for playing to the rules lol

Because he was not aware of the rule.
 
Don't I remember - in the '14-15 season? - the City-Villa match at Villa Park? Last few minutes at 0-0 and City put the ball into touch so that a Villa lad could receive treatment? Villa took the throw in to give it to Joe Hart but a villa lad nipped in, played it off one of our defenders and Villa got the corner? City were furious, even more so when all the big Villa lads piled in to try and get something from the corner to win the game? Villa argued that they hadn't broken any laws. Fair enough, they hadn't. But the media's (unanimous) line was that any side arguing about the spirit of the game didn't belong anywhere near the top of the table.

On last night's event specifically, I must say that few on here - and I include myself - have had a good word to say about Lee Mason but last night he appears to be just about the only person in any official capacity who understood the laws of the game. To be fair VAR checked the goal and agreed hat it should stand but anyway ruled that the law had been applied and this was not a matter of judgement. Congratulations, Mr Mason.

and whos fault is that ? a international player doesnt know the rules ! think i would be cutting his wages if he doesnt understand football ! ;)

i would have thought for a defender knowing the off side rule would be very important rule to know.

Jon Moss was reffing last night, no way on Gods green earth Mason would have allowed that to stand he would have given a free kick 10 seconds earlier for Bernardo daring to head the ball the useless twat

Since we conceded 5 vs Leicester in all the games after that we’ve only conceded 7. That is a fucking remarkable turnaround which simply isn’t been spoke about enough

Ssshhhhhh. You know why, it’s because we don’t play in Red.
 
I remember this incident being described as Quick-witted, Cheeky and Clever
8305668-6572691-image-a-39_1547030545526.jpg

But not Immoral for some reason?

Oh how the media and other fans laughed at us, well it's us who are laughing today.Take it Take it
 
The 2 incidents that some blues are defending and saying if it happened against us we would be pissed off. Many fucking times we have been on the wrong end of diabolical decisions so I say fuck it. The only reason it's being brought up and its pissing people off is because Manchester City won. Tough shit happens but the 2 decisions tonight were legitimate. We did not benefit from any dodgy decision. Also I am loving it fucking loving it that it has pissed so many off.
 
Morally unpalatable!! It’s a goal in a game of association football not a societal crime Gallagher you fuckin imbecile, MCFC morally bankrupt since 2009, get to fuck !!

Fuck sake. Law proves the goal was fine so now it’s against the spirit of the game? Let’s rewrite the FIFA rule book and add a chapter about the spirit of the game which just says if it benefits City it’s against the spirit of the game.

Spot on. You can’t make this shit up . First it started like, that’s against the law than spirit of the game bullshit and today it’s city bending the loopholes .
Just like theres no rule that says you have to kick the ball out if opponent is injured but no one made a big deal when that dude was allowed to retake corner kick twice coz he miss hit the first one. That should’ve been news all over the internet . It was beyond sunday league both from the player and the ref but yea let’s bash city to death for perfectly legally scored goal.

I always mix up those two for some reason. I have a mental bloc with most refs - I just see a red mist descend before my eyes!

Ha ha Tough shit. It’s a crap rule but it’s a rule and to say it’s tough on Villa coz they didn’t know the rule is pathetic from camel gob I’m sure if I know the rule and thousands on here know the rule then a professional premierleague team should know it. Best win of the season for me. Especially with Kev going off. Good subs too. Buzzing. Well done blue boys

As with the law of the land, the fact that you didn't know about it doesn't exonerate you from its mandate, hey rio? Rio?? Are you ok in there?
