FA Cup 3rd Round Games 6/7/8/9 Jan

I reckon if the lino has seen him as offside then it is because he has used the coming-back-from-an-offside-position excuse which seems to be a catch-all reasoning they use whenever they are not sure. It is often followed by “and they never got themselves back onside” even when they appear level with the last defender. They say if a player is running from an offside position to pick up the ball in an onside position that this is classed as offside but what else can a corner-taker do, they have to be furthest forward in any case, it’s a stupid rule. It needs changing so that individual player can avoid this shite reasoning.

This is not the reason. He was 5 yards onside when it flicked the wolves players head on the way back out to him near the corner flag

There must be an historic game where VAR intervened in this stadium at that particular point of the pitch. I find it hard to believe no camera angle exists. The game is rigged

Wasn’t it Salah v us where he clearly looked offside but the goal stood without them showing any replay or VAR footage?

Decisions like that one in the Wolves match last night are the reason why I am slowly emotionally distancing myself from the sport. Fed up of matches being decided by the officials and VAR. I love City but really starting to dislike the sport as a whole. These referees are blatantly corrupt and are just allowed to get away with it while sabotaging results.

I've just seen the video and I'm wondering just WHO was offside. That ranks as one of the dodgiest decisions of the last ten seasons in the FArce Cup.

Was the Robertson incident broadcast during the game as I don’t remember seeing it?

If he thinks the guy taking the corner is offside when the ball comes back the flag should go up straight away not once the ball is in the net as from there it's not a clear goal scoring opportunity.

You are right, lino should flag straight away and not try to get he goal dissallowed after, it just looks bent. You play to the whistle always anyway, not the flag and if var cant find an offence with their cameras its the home teams fault for not having proper coverage.

Sick of flags for some teams going up just in case its offside, against staying down(red teams) just in case it isnt.

I bet that if the lino didnt flag var would have soon found another "offence" to cancel the goal out.

Having no conclusive camera angle at the stadium stinks of having a get out clause in these situations, if var cannot prove an offence was commited the goal should stand, especially if the flag did not go up in play.

Having areas of the pitch not covered by var is not a mistake, it is unproffessional at least, and any club whose stadium requires full var implementation should be fined and docked points for not being able to.

Of course, along with the other red media darlings who can have riots in an empty stadium, and find "toilet bombs" at their convenience to get games cancelled on the day of the match without punishment, the bias is clear and organised.

Cant wait for these fckers to drop down the league, even the casual fans are unbearable.

Agreed. There are some valid issues around first/second phase. Last night wasnt it

The ball was initially played for salah. The defender plays it (because of salah run) but it still gets to salah so this is still the first phase. And should be called offside

Anyhow, they changed the interpretation after our goal against villa (Silva goal, Rodri off) to stop this. Unless you play in red, then this doesn't apply!

Slightly different rule but read through this Dale Johnson Twitter thread, this has been going on for a while now, several examples going back 5 years ago.

However, he does say, like most us think it’s not in the spirit of the game.

Rodri, came from behind Mings v Villa but Mings had control of the ball, how far would he be able to run before Rodri could make a legitimate challenge? I didn’t see anything wrong with that but the outcry because it was City lead to a change in the rules. This latest incident should definitely show what a poor rule this is and amend it.

Just looked at it all again.

Lino has put a "panic" flag up because he has been told the "value" of having dippers in the farce cup, and the lack of var has done the rest.

Just give em a fcking bye next time instead of this total farce.

App Leeds have got 6000 tickets for Cardiff so that could be a very difficult day for the south wakes ob today .

I have no idea if the Wolves goal was offside or not but it is a disgrace that they can't provide a camera angle to prove that it was.

However, my biggest problem is with Sarah's goal. The winger crosses the ball to him when Salah was in an offside position and because the ball skims the defender's head, Salah is classed as onside. The defender wouldn't have had to try for the ball at all if Salah wasn't in an offside position. Just seems crazy to me.

Thing is, and I dont like giving the Dipps any loose, but the same rule helped us out a couple of seasons ago. When playing Villa, Bernado passed to Rodri who was slow getting back and was offside, Mings made an effort to intercept and touched the ball, playing Rodri on. Bernado took the return pass and scored.
