torres is waste on the right wing should have played in the middle

Ever since Theo shoulder barged him into the stands right in front of the lino without punishment he's been muted.

I though after the Rodri incident last season that loophole had been closed?

 

[MCFC1993]

Are they saying the defender played it through?

Doesn't matter if it's deflected through, that's still offside.

 

[King Jay]

nonsense, not how it works at all

Yes it does.

 

[Bluearmy]

The exact same passage would be ruled out if it was us with Atwell on Var

100000000%

 

[jimharri]

Did Garcia touch it, thus playing him onside?

Thought the touch had to be intentional, not just a flick off a player?

 

[pudge]

Spot on, a little known rule

It's not a little known rule it's just not applicable in this instance

 

[cookster]

If it does come off Garcia's toe why haven't they shown a replay?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Alty is firkin clueless.

 

[Mentis]

I though after the Rodri incident last season that loophole had been closed?

I don't think this is the same at all. Rodri showed no interest in going for that ball. That pass was destined for Mbappe and he ran to get it. I don't think a last ditch tackle should be deemed intentionally playing the ball.
