Does anybody know the rules

There was a post in the match day thread too about the offside not being right either - unless it’s been misinterpreted somewhere along the way?

Basically the foul happened before the offside was given and therefore should’ve taken precedent?

A bit like why Akanji said he couldn’t go through Rashford at the swamp.

Absolutely SPOT ON.

Offside doesn’t seem to count until you’ve touched the ball - well, when it suits

After the disgraceful time wasting Eddie watches, go unpunished, especially at home, (Everton in particular,) he really must wonder what the fuck is going on.

I think he knows what the fuck is going on..

Pre VAR they would have frozen the frame and to a man everybody would have said it’s onside, he’s level

Why are they taking away completely good goals? That’s what everybody watches football for!!

they’ve created a monster!! VAR has evolved into something it wasn’t supposed to be where offside is concerned

Referees are allowed to hide away from any consequences that come from their poor decision making.

On the flip side to that, managers and players affected by their poor decisions are contractually obligated to have a microphone shoved in their face straight after the game and then get asked if the ref made a mistake, with the realisation that they can be fined for criticising the referee.

The referee never has to answer any question like that. There is no press conference to explain themselves. Make them answer to the camera every week.

And then the FA laughably tells us we need to respect referees more.

Get on with it

There’s just so much inconsistency I can’t cope.

No one appealed for that pen for Arsenal tonight and if I watched that game a hundred times with the teams switched and Haaland being taken out after he’d got a shot away, on target; I don’t think I’d appeal once.

Fucking weird. Especially after it came after two other fucking odd decisions. Walks booking and then Ederson for seemingly taking a run up. Weird.

It happened to Haaland last week and the keeper got the free kick after Gundo scored

It’s all made up

And in the Everton game when their players went off after time wstimh that idiot Madley waved the players straight back on. Tonight, Walker is fouled, needed treatment but the prick of a ref punishes him by making him wait and then comes the booking, clearly corrupt/biased officiating.

It is going to get worse. I said this a few times on here but it is just as well we aren't an over aggressive side.
