Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

Whats the difference with what Mings Did.

And a defender playing an attacker in an off side position on side by contacting with the Ball.

The question really should be why did Mings stupidly play the Ball.
 
So fuck. The handball rule was changed after 4 games of this season, teams benefitted from this beforehand and others weren't given penalties after this for incidents much more clear cut than what penalties were awarded for earlier in the season.

We were done by a handball goal by Llorente in the CL which if it had happened a few months later would have been ruled out.

Swings and roundabouts
 
The biggest disgrace this season that nobody in the media even blinked at our mentioned was a penalty after the full time whistle was blown.

When you look at all the dodgy stuff going on the only conclusion I can come up with is it’s the scums turn to win the league!

We have to be absolutely perfect for the rest of the season and score by at least 2 to 3 goals we have to have form like we did when we got 98 points 14 wins on the bounce!
 
Why don't they just have a rule that states "If a player with a light blue shirt scores a goal for a team with a Manchester postcode do your utmost to disallow it as it is unpalatable for the American owned teams in red".
Or maybe they already have!
 
I hope Villa are the first team to have a similar goal ruled out.

Smith can get himself sent off again, Mings can once again make it abundantly clear how fucking thick he is after the game and the Villa fans will once again get themselves into a hissy fit. Top that off with them getting their squad raided in the summer and I'll be happy as Larry.

Fuck Aston Villa.

Correct.

That’s also why the offside law is still, even with the new guidance, weighed too much on the attackers side for me. How’s the defender there going to know if he should try and play the ball or not?

But an attacker from an off side position puts the defender under pressure to clear, but he miss ques and the attacker scores. That seems more unfair than what Rodri did. Rodri didnt put the defender under any pressure !

I agree. Personally I would want those classed as offside too, never felt right to me that it falls under the interpretation of “deliberately played”. I get it if the defender has controlled the ball and then passed it, not when they are forced into an action like that though.

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!

A red shirt goal would have been spun as 'impish/cheeky/quick thinking' City just play within the laws of the game and we're cheats yet again.

When I first saw that villa goal against Newcastle I thought it was off side ! Didnt understand how an attacker could gain an advantage by putting to defender under pressure from being off side to start with ! Rodri allowed Mings at least 2 touches before the tackle and he didnt score directly
So being off side and putting a defender under pressure to make a mistake is still allowed than like the villa goal.
Confused
 
So at what stage can a player once back onside challenge for possession? When all is said & done, Rodri was ‘onside’ when he tackled Mings. Will a player now have to wait for a signal from the ref? F’ing nonsense

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?

After he has cleared it.

Or if Stones in the same position, as soon as he has made contact with the ball.

Up to the referee to decide.

Yes because he didn’t challenge him for the ball, he didn’t need to take it off him - it was played to him by the defender. So the Mings one, if he’d headed the ball back to the keeper not realising Rodri was there, that would still be onside too.
 
the game is bent right to the core and the rules are a joke anyway ??

the offside rule never should bow down to players or manager or media pundits ? its up to the laws of the game to write and then players follow the rules not the other way round ?

nothing wrong in what city and rodri did and the rule and laws played out in the right way ? now its changed makes it even more daft because VAR will now say you was coming back from a shoelace off side and interfering with play ?
