Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

[stonerblue]

They will always be given and not given, he was 3 yards away when from the defender when the ball was played so it was marginal either way if he was interfering/active. If he was 3 ft away it should be offside, if he was 30 yards away of course not.

The officials gave it so of course it was 100% correct, if they didn't give it they would have backed themselves too. It will be an entirely different set of circumstances each time it happens and some will go either way.

No no no Corky that's not allowed now. Every decision has to be one hundred percent accurate and right and therefore morally acceptable for a 'deserved' outcome.

Two things regarding this completely unnecessary change..

First, this change will only add to the burden on officials (including VAR officials) regarding decisions on goals scored, causing extra delays and confusion, particularly for those of us in the crowd attending games when we get 'back to normal'.

Second, after the letters, the media coverage, FFP/CAS and so on and so on since 2008, anyone who still thinks there isn't an agenda which is anti-City is a complete numpty..

Rodri came back and dispossessed Mings passed to Silva who drops his shoulder to curl a excellent shot past a couple of players and a keeper into the top corner.
Within the rules but not anymore.
What a bunch of fat grey suited wannabe politicians the authorities of football have become.
They want the power to say your fucking finger/armpit hair/left bollock is offside cos we say so and then overlook one of their own laws, that City scored from and immediately change it, making us look the bad guys.
Was it any worse than the diving twats from the swamp winning pens and fouls through diving/acting?
WAS IT FUCK.
Hey politicians start booking the cheats and show us your rules are righteous.
You could of started by booking that pub player van de beek on sunday for diving,but no you were probably to busy get the above law changed cos of City's goal you bunch of bent fuckers

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

hahahahahaha

Thought it was offside at the time. It wasn’t but that’s cos I didn’t know the rule!

 

[stonerblue]

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

just being daft now

 

[Blue Maverick]

So at what point under this new “interpretation “ would Rodri be able to tackle? Because he was onside when he did anyway, does he have go 10 yards past him, what happens if Bernardo tackles Mings runs past him and past Rodri who then runs towards net, then the keeper comes out and Bernardo squares it to Rodri, has Rodri not gained and advantage. Absolute joke but it’s fantastic we got the goal and anyone after will be livid if they don’t get it. Hope we win the league by two points now.

The next rule change will be if you handball a shot inside the area that is going wide it isn’t a penalty.

They never changed the rule that you actually had to be fouled in the area to get a pen after several incidents involving Fernandes, oh wait....
