Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

[creditunionhero]

Well I am shocked, why have they not provided new guidance on the handball law, surely if a header was not on target then it can't be given as handball and a penalty as Macmanamen pointed out.

I mean I knew this fucker was thick just by the way he looks and talks but oh my god this is gold.

Lmao no wonder this gormless fucker only scored about 20 goals in 500 games - stupid ****.

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.

He didn't benefit from being in an offside position, he had been in an onside position.

I have it on good authority that we will score the winning goal tonight in the 86th from a cross to the far post. Unfortunately as we speak the PL and PiGMOB are debating whether to ban crosses, headers or both. A decision will be made in the 85th minute of the game.

City need to get three up, then keep kicking it against the ref,who is always in the way,then see what they do

Shame we never taught Kolarov how to aim at an official’s head, or cock.

I never said it was part of the rules? I said the rules have always been open to interpretation. It’s why IFAB would agree to the additional clarification.

Oh yes that's true(but for different issues), I thought you were saying something else. Well it's still open to interpretation with the change was my gripe. I suppose even my suggestion could be under some circumstances but I think it's easy to see whether a successful pass/control of the ball has occurred.

 

[give it to gordon]

Can we change the penalty rule so they cant be taken once the ref has blown for full time.

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 !

Yeah it seems like a ridiculous rule. The winger crosses the ball to a player who is marginally offside, the defender slides in the block the cross, and if he misses the ball completely, the striker is called offside, but if he glances it and it falls to the offside player, then he's suddenly onside again, even though the only reason the defender was sliding in was because of his presence.
