Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

The fa cup already has different rules in place at different grounds. VAR is used in ties at premier league grounds and not at grounds in league 1 or 2 for example.

And some clubs got byes in the league cup as a result of covid.

Sporting integrity long since disappeared from football.

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?

Apparently never. He's still offside now.

new rule : city must score from 200 yards or else

I thought football rules could only be changed by UEFA.

Personally dont have a problem with this. A bit farcical the fall out has been, but who cares really.

The law may well have meant he wasnt technically offside by the letter but anyone who believes he didnt benefit by being in an “offside position” is too blue tinted.
If that goes against us, I dont care what the “law” is, I’d feel hard done by. So if they’ve changed the interpretation to make that offside then good.

We were the better team and we won the game and deserved the win.

Maybe ive missed it in the "conversation"...but whats the difference to intercepting a back pass, for example?

An attacking player can be in an offside position and a defender can pass it back to the keeper, the attacker can intercept and score.....why is one allowed and not the other?

Not agreeing or disagreeing with this rule ‘update’, but the difference in your example is that the defender has made a decision, and has, released the ball, intending to pass to a team mate.

The original issue of how long before Rodri can attempt to take the ball from the defender will still be the call of the referee/VAR.

Set before last year. Remember when they clamped down on holding at corner being given as a penalty a couple of seasons ago, which lasted about a month then you were just magically allowed to do it again. It's fvcking madness what's going on in football. No agenda though, no corruption, no, none whatsoever.

It didn't even last that long. We played Stoke away on the first day & Mike Dean (correctly) gave both teams a penalty for holding in the area. The furore started straight away afterwards & as you say eventually all went back to as it was before. It's remained that way ever since. For as long as I can remember by the laws of the game it's a foul but this seems to be conveniently ignored. It's a joke.

So what happens now, if, a situation happens where [replace players names here with anyone from any club] Mings doesn’t decide to turn around and get tackled by Rodri but, instead, he mis-controls it and it goes to Gabriel Jesus who then runs through and passes to Rodri to score?

Is Rodri played onside by Mings because he’s played at the ball forward and it’s not gone straight to Rodri? Is Rodri played onside by Jesus as he’s run through and behind the ball? What’s the actual law?

If mings miscontrols it and it goes to Jesus then it doesn’t matter where Rodri is as he’s not active. If he miscontrols it and it goes straight back to Rodri, then he’d be onside too.

Both of those would have been true before as well though.

The rule change makes no difference, he challenged the second touch not the first one. VAR would give it.
