Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

[I'm With Stupid]

Would that goal still be legit in European games then?
Surely uefa/fifa have to be involved, can't have different rules league to league.
I know leagues can have different rules in regard to foreign players allowed and things like that, but actual rules of the game on the pitch being played are worldwide are they not

Ah but they haven't changed the rule, they've just "added guidance." They've been adding guidance to a lot of the rags' decisions this year too by the looks of things.

Haha. If a team in red had scored it there'd be no debate, let alone law change.

Incompetent on another level.

Law has been like that for decades, plenty of goals scored like that over the years, not a problem until we benefit from it! Ha!

Fukin hell Villa scored same goal last week themselves, not a fukin peep from anybody.

 

[BillCarlisle]

I find it unpalatable and immoral that they have decided to change the rules during an active season...

Indeed. The very same group of people who gave us the phrase "integrity of the competition".

 

[give it to gordon]

yep came from an off side position and scored !

but didnt tackle the defender i think that makes it ok, but the attacker put pressure on the defender to mis kick which is fine !

Any change to inactive but offside striker getting on the end of a cross by benefitting from being off in the first place then?

 

[EricBrooksGhost]

I thought we were the bitter ones.
Venal set of cunts.

 

[Ribchester]

So if we were to go back to the point where Mings controls the ball with his chest,(if we use the new rules) how long before Rodri can be involved in play without being classed as offside?

Just looked at the amendment, Rodri would now have to do 3 pirouettes, complete 1 full 360 round the target player, and a one handed press-up and a inverted Pike.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Really? This will expose how fa is a fucking joke.
Whats there to change ? The rule is /has been clear as fuck .

 

[kun]

So now if you play a back pass to an opposition player in an offside position is he offside??

No conspiracy or ‘agenda’ - it’s perfectly normal for ‘urgent’, ‘emergency’ meetings between PIGMOL and UEFA when a goal is scored which followed the laws of the game.

I’m starting to hate this sport. The more I hate the sport, the more I love City. I hope in my lifetime Man United and Liverpool are completely and utterly destroyed in every capacity.
