The loophole formerly known as Law 11.3.

View attachment 135827

The reason that you can't be offside from a corner is because the ball is deemed to be on the goal line and therefore can only be played backwards.

 

[MCFCTrick]

To be fair United and Liverpool were getting all this nonsense when they were top dogs. It comes with the territory!

Utter rubbish. The media etc lauded them at every opportunity. The fuckers still do.

The only reason they are saying offside rather than Bernie committing a foul is the keeper pushes him first.

In the scale of things the british media are a little flea, a silly little flea at that. The rest of the world loves City. A bunch of know nothing fanboys.

Reason is nothing to do with it. It's the law :)

It sure as fuck isn't a loophole, anyway .....

All the keeper had to do, if he thought he was being impeded, was to simply fall over dramatically and that would've been that.

Bit like Allison did a couple of years ago when he was slightly nudged (Dias possibly?) then actually took off and fell down.

He did in the first half

Remember the reaction to Bernies perfectly legal goal ?
He was stood offside but waited for the defender to touch it, he then ran from behind him, nicked the ball off him and went and scored.
The over reaction to a perfectly good goal made them change the law.

Peter Walton really embarrassed himself over that one

Agreed

I don't know how anyone can have that point of view..

For the entirety of my life we have had media basically fondle themselves whilst talking about United and Liverpool, we've had them nearly calling for any new redshirt player who makes a forward pass to be in contention for the ballon d'or.

We even now have a Sky produced Overlap that is nothing but coping system of member berries for over the hill redshirt fans of "hey, remember when you were good"

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

There is no mechanism for excluding shareholders, afaik.

Thanks, as this seems the only logical answer - even if they fucking hate and resent us .

I would hope that we attend/are represernted even if only to piss the other cunts off - esp the gooner management

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Stupid to give two word-for-word quotes to the press that can be presented like that. Not sure it matters that he may have a point or that he is under pressure. Much better to take the Guardiola approach: disappointing but didn't play well enough to win irrespective of the last minute goal. Congratulations to City and we will try to win the next game.

Incidentally, much was made of him being a young English manager and what a tragedy it is that there aren't more. So what happens? Five at the back and hoof it up in hope more than anything to the big guy. Wonder why there aren't more like him in the PL ......

Agreed. O’Neill shows why he will never manage an elite club every time he bleats to the press. He epitomises a lot of English managers sadly. That said his full interview was more measured than the anti-City sound bytes which were seized upon by the haters.

Did they fucking fuck get all this nonsense when they were top dogs. It was the fucking complete opposite.

You'd think they'd want us there anyway, if only to let them know which proposals are 'acceptable'

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

A sign all is not well for the PL.

I wonder if any of the Club Directors will have the balls to ask Masters why he ignored his own legal advice on the wording of the Fair Market Value rules. His bungling is going to cost the PL clubs a huge amount of money.

Should have been a penalty!

It would be totally relevant for our representative to ask that very question , whilst pointing out the ramifications for the other dumb fuckers in the room.

Exactly

Tbh whilst it probably won't happen, the opportunity to raise the clearly discriminatory treatment of other clubs ie gooners and and their management loans.

The fuckers should be outed with all guns blazing as their influences have been exposed and shown as a main driver.

 

[Newman Noggs]

We even now have a Sky produced Overlap that is nothing but coping system of member berries for over the hill redshirt fans of "hey, remember when you were good"

And this is why Sky's viewing figures which Carragher uses as a barometer of marketability is wholly unrepresentative of the viewing public.

 

[Blue Mist]

As an active member I would have thought they would definitely be represented, but it is only my guess.

Thoughts please from more knowledgeable posters .

Yes we will be there. The main table has 20 chairs around it.
19 for the other clubs and one for masters.

We have a chair in the corner facing the wall. It was going to be in the corridor but a certain Mr Pannick had a word.
