Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

Thought he was good yesterday.

I like a physical game and we are arguably usually the most physical team in the league. Håland usually bullies his opponents but yesterday was combatted.

We could have had a penalty for one of them but I thought by the LOTG the penalty we did get was extremely harsh so that evened out.

By the Laws of the Game, has he really made his body unnaturally bigger by sliding in and naturally using his arm to balance and the ball hitting him from close range of about two yards away?

By the Laws, I think that’s harsh.

Other than that, he was good. Booked their lad for a poor tackle on Grealish and didn’t do anything controversial. He was mostly in our favour really.

I bet a read on the SheffUtd forums would be very critical of him. I bet they think the awarded penalty was a farce.

With those sliding ones yeh they sometimes seem harsh, but had he not handled that one yesterday, Haaland would have had a 5 yard tap in, so any Sheff United protests would be pretty hollow.......

Active like Casimero was in the build up to the rags goal ? How can face down on the floor amongst the photographers be active unless he was trying to film it?

The reason a player remains active when behind goal line is to stop them deliberately stepping off to play a player offside It was changed awhile ago for this reason

My reading of law 11 is that it doesn't differentiate between a player stepping of the pitch deliberately to gain an advantage and one whose natural momentum takes him of the field of play

Correct however they changed the interpretation to ensure that the deliberate act couldn’t benefit difficult to determine wether it’s deliberate or otherwise

Don’t think McBurnie impeded Ederson anyway so still wouldn’t have been offside

Definitely right in his line of vision and almost on the path of the ball, might well have been disallowed imo except for Kyle
Just before it reached the goalscorer, there was also a deliberate obstruction on Gvardiol which hampered him from getting closer

He was nowhere near the path of the ball

Cheers, just crossed my mind when seeing Kyle have his little lie down.

It‘s never happened to my knowledge.

Years ago we were playing at Wolves when Adebayor was still with us. He was in the area going towards the by line. He stopped the ball, which remained in play, but their momentum took him and the defender over the line. Adebayor turned quicker that the defender, who clipped him.

Even though the foul took place outside the area, the ref correctly awarded a penalty for two reasons. One, you can’t have a free kick in the dead ball area. Two, more importantly, players are not permitted to leave the field of play without the referees permission. If they do, they are deemed to be on the field at the point where they left it, which in that case was in the area, so a penalty was the correct decision.

For the same reason Kyle was playing everybody onside for their goal on Sunday.

Even if he was in an offside position, he was nowhere near his line of vision
