Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

right the new wording of the rule ??

Where a player in an offside position immediately impacts on an opponent who has deliberately played the ball, the match officials should prioritise challenging an opponent for the ball, and thus the offside offence of 'interfering with an opponent by impacting on the opponent's ability to play the ball' should be penalised."

The statement from the Premier League added: "Accordingly, if a similar situation to the one involving Rodri's impact on Mings occurred in a future match, then the impact would be penalised for offside."

i think they have cocked this up up again ? because many good goals are scored when a player is standing offside in the box but not interfering with play ? but will now be deemed offside because the keeper will say he is interfering
This is so shit, another rule that favours defence. So if the player is caught offside, he is out of the game until when, a defender can linger on the ball for 5, 10 seconds and what then, the offside player cannot challenge.
 
If we'd scored that first goal that Chelsea scored in the cup you know that they'd have reworded the laws to say "no matter if it affects play - NO goal can be scored when two balls are on the field of play" after two full days of Owen and Wio complaining about it.

Boils my piss that whenever anything remotely contentious happens in any of our games it becomes the talk of the town with everyone (and their dogs) piling in against us.
 
Rodri came back and dispossessed Mings passed to Silva who drops his shoulder to curl a excellent shot past a couple of players and a keeper into the top corner.
Within the rules but not anymore.
What a bunch of fat grey suited wannabe politicians the authorities of football have become.
They want the power to say your fucking finger/armpit hair/left bollock is offside cos we say so and then overlook one of their own laws, that City scored from and immediately change it, making us look the bad guys.
Was it any worse than the diving twats from the swamp winning pens and fouls through diving/acting?
WAS IT FUCK.
Hey politicians start booking the cheats and show us your rules are righteous.
You could of started by booking that pub player van de beek on sunday for diving,but no you were probably to busy get the above law changed cos of City's goal you bunch of bent fuckers
Superb
 
That is fucking hilarious. Only MCFC could pull that trick in the very next game.
Law change incoming
was just about to type the same thing. .......new rule change in the next few days!!!

when in fact its a school boy error by the west brom players......you play to the whistle no matter what....every kid is taught that....I wonder if FAT SAM will see it that way however...I suspect not!
 
See Guardian are not eve doing a MBM live on our game tonight. Were not really here. haha
We are well into denial territory.

Our right back curls one into the top corner with his left foot from 25 yards and the goal is ruined as the assistant ref puts her flag up
Aguero should grope her properly next time

Brilliant isn’t it?

There’ll be loads of moaning about that from everyone in the media and in red, fucking love it!
 
Absolute howler from Sian Massey tonight. Flag should stay down.
I disagree. She waited until Berny turned back, at that point the attack had stopped and she could flag as per the rules as there wasnt an imminent chance of City scoring. The ref should have blown for the offside. He didnt and we scored and the piss boiling started.
I fully accept berny was onside and she was wrong in that respect though.

Yep. They have clear instructions to keep the flag down unless 100000% certain its offside. That flag would never have gone up against a certain other team!!
