I’ve just been reading the MEN and find that our friend Webb should be officiating every single PL game, such is his infallibility. He has “admitted” that City’s second should have been ruled ou, presumably on behalf of the ref and VAR! This is ntohis opinion but a statement of divine law. Thank yo, MUEN.

I was referring to the Women's World Cup, as the comment I replied to referred mentioned Hemp.

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned anywhere, but it would make sense that it's included (and typical of football that they didn't think about announcing it was, when all the fuss was made about the changes originally).

Half the tournament was before the July cut off, so unless they want to count the group stage this year, and the knockout rounds next year :/

It's a bit strange, isn't it? I think they have probably included all of it but haven't seen a statement that it has. 6 Spaniards suggests it has.

That's a pretty literal interpretation of the LOTG tbf.

All we ask for is consistency in how the rules are applied. Either a player in an offside position can affect a keeper's decision making and become active, or he can't. They can't have one rule for Rashford and one for Akanji.

A pretty literal interpretation is how it should always be imo. As soon as you deviate from it you run into the lack of consistency issue that you mention. And quell surprise, we all know which teams get favoured then!!

It was clearly offside , any other interpretation is a crock.

VAR is superb IF used correctly.

Sadly the PL referees and execs are utterly and totally incompetent and VAR in this current format is helping to tarnish the spectacle of the beautiful game.

Not according to the laws as they are written today its not

These types of goals have been given for years. Spuds scored with Defoe stood next to Hart a decade ago. Never any controversy. Just given and move on. A bit like the Salah goal at the weekend. Hardly a murmur. Surprised some City fans still fall for it.

Having heard the audio over the last few days and the complete absence of any actual reference to the LOTG when reviewing incidents, its no wonder we are in the state we are in. I’d love to give PGMOL A test on the current offside law as its written today. I’m betting none of them would know it!!

*edit* found a still from the Spuds game for reference, 12 years ago!! Uncanny
