The loophole formerly known as Law 11.3.

& those laws were never a problem until City put a 5ft 7” 10 stone player to stand in front of the keeper.

To be fair United and Liverpool were getting all this nonsense when they were top dogs. It comes with the territory!

Bollocks.

The reason that you can't be offside from a corner is because the ball is deemed to be on the goal line and therefore can only be played backwards.

Utter rubbish. The media etc lauded them at every opportunity. The fuckers still do.

The only reason they are saying offside rather than Bernie committing a foul is the keeper pushes him first.

In the scale of things the british media are a little flea, a silly little flea at that. The rest of the world loves City. A bunch of know nothing fanboys.

Reason is nothing to do with it. It's the law :)

It sure as fuck isn't a loophole, anyway .....

All the keeper had to do, if he thought he was being impeded, was to simply fall over dramatically and that would've been that.

Bit like Allison did a couple of years ago when he was slightly nudged (Dias possibly?) then actually took off and fell down.

He did in the first half

Remember the reaction to Bernies perfectly legal goal ?
He was stood offside but waited for the defender to touch it, he then ran from behind him, nicked the ball off him and went and scored.
The over reaction to a perfectly good goal made them change the law.

Peter Walton really embarrassed himself over that one
