Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

[meltonblue]

The one flaw in your post is, 'flags immediately''

It’s not as it proves it was being interpreted differently. Unless you mean something else?

What happens if a player shoots and the keeper saves
An attacking player, who was in an offside position when his team mate took the shot, follows the shot and his momentum takes him past the keeper

The keeper stands up and as the penalty area clears he drops the ball at his feet (as keepers do) then the attacker who had run past the keeper, runs from behind the keeper, dispossess him and kicks the ball into an empty net

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

Flashbacks of McPointy: "Ahrrr eeehy, naaah, he can't give da' la, he can't give da' "... "Not to Man City anyway".

Just seen it on sky what a joke, they are saying Ollie Watkins goal at weekend is alright??? I see absolutely no difference between ours and the one he scored??

I, like you, and millions of others have no idea whats going on with the offside bollox.
I am saying if the lino was allowed to flag immediately, like they used to, and not have to fuck about waiting for the offside player to touch the ball before doing so, then this incident would not have occured.

The open to interpretation point I'm with you on(it was just on different matters before VAR) but I think this confused matters:

their striker was running back from an offside position and played it and was given offside for it as Laporte hadn’t had chance to properly play the ball.

That seemed like it was your own interpretation of why offside was given. The game had no VAR and the flag probably went up early in anticipation. Which in my view would be why the ref had little choice but to give it, not because the referee deemed the player had impacted Laporte's ability to play the ball after already taking a touch.

Just imagine if at the end of the season us and the rags are fighting it out to win the league on the last day and the rags need a win they score a goal identical to the Bernie one against villa and it’s chalked off meaning we win the league!

OK, I've done that. Now what?

 

[york away to this!]

Ferdinand has been appointed as VAR "spirit of the game" interpreter. He will sit alongside the VAR ref to ensure no further shenanigans are allowed...

Now they have clarified the offside law can the Premier League clarify what is a morally acceptable goal ?

(aside from any goal scored by a media favourite that is)
