“If thats down the other end its offside” - andy gray

Fuck him as well

Need to see Bernardo soon, need to get hold of the ball more.

The Rashford/Fernandez goal only equates if Akanji boots it in the net and the ref gives it.

Being in an offside position isn't offside unless he interferes with the play.

Does he obstruct the keeper from getting the ball, no? Does he stop the dive, no? Does he prevent the keeper seeing it, no?
Goal then.

No, clear goal under the laws. Akanji didn't touch the ball, he wasn't in line of sight of the goalkeeper. That is a goal all day long, and equally acceptable if it was against us.

Not really mate, at least not for me. It's Akanji's little flick of his foot (may be trying to play the ball, may be trying to flick the ball) as it goes past him...

• clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
• making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

Maybe not the first point due to the "clearly" wording, but definitely the second bit.

Anyway, it was given :)

Happy Days

These are the criteria for offside, and none were met.

100%

Media already calling it a incorrect decision without looking at the actual rules

 

[rickmcfc]

Hahahahaha. Fuck off

 

[Streetsweeper]

Gray & Keys foaming at the mouth over on BeinSports

Why? Did a female production assistant in a short skirt walk past?

 

[oakiecokie]

And what did they say about the Sheffield equaliser last week.

I`ve no idea as to what was said last week.

 

[paulchapo]

Bernardo on please this half.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Half man half monkey Keyes is always ridiculously anti-City
