Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

Villa fans pointing to this. Even though THIS decision is wrong (or at least would be under FA's offside rules).

It’s not wrong as such, it’s just a different interpretation of it. That’s why they haven’t changed the law itself, just updated the guidance to it.

There was one in our game against Cheltenham identical to it where their striker was flagged for offside too. People just don’t tend to notice it as it’s not as noticeable as when it then leads onto a goal.

I wonder which ‘high ranking’ official is talking to the Mail about this, couldn’t possibly be a United or Liverpool exec could it? As predictable as shit falling out of a pig’s arse.

You never seen a constipated pig? That's where pork scratchings come from!

was this offside too then? The rule change is a joke. That’s not the first time they’ve changed rules cos if the uproar after we benefited from the long-standing rule.

Depends on which team scores it, for City that'll be offside and possibly a booking, for "others" it's a bit of a giggle and obviously a goal. New ruling as of today apparently.
 
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?

Not to worry, they already change the rules during a game to suit their agenda, doing during a season was already set last year.

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.

If they play in blue and are called City, it’s no goal.

If they play in red, make sure you reward diving and cheating.

Seems pretty clear to me and I bet PIGMOL are fucking gutted that they have to come up with these convoluted schemes instead of just being able to write it explicitly.

Same for the media, must peck their heads in that they can’t just use the racial slurs that they really want to about our owners.
 
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.

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.

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.
