Offside rule changed after Silva's goal against Villa

[Bald fraud]

OK, I've done that. Now what?

Err I dunno have yer tea?

 

[Metalartin]

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!

Imagine BT at full time, Rio sat in silence during the whole post match analysis, staring into the camera. He doesn't need to say anything because you can already hear it, if you close your eyes: "Why did I open my big mouth, innit bruv?"

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

If it’s Robbie Keane and Tottenham, no one gives a fuck and the goal is heralded as clever play, as someone posted the clip on here earlier.

Did they clarify this with Wio first?

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.

Ah got you.

You just know the next dodgy decision that goes against us when we have a sky game we’ll hear Tyler shriek “payback for the villa goal!”

Actually don’t mind them changing the rule.
It was a shite rule and would have hated to have conceded a goal that way ourselves.
Glad we’ve benefited from it so best result all round as now it can’t happen to us.

They'll find a way

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


That was your own interpretation of why offside was given, unless there's something in the match report. 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.

Understood and yes I’d agree with that

If united or Liverpool had scored that perfectly legitimate goal there would have been no outcry and, hence, no controversy and hence no "guidance" handing yet more discretion for the referee/VAR to meddle with. What a shambles.

or indeed it had it been scored against us.

''In an ideal world, that sort of evens things out Macca.''
''Oh deffo Micky. Deffo.''

''Virgil was too far away from the goal for that to be handball Glenn''

 

[Metalartin]

How much of a pull back was there on Jesus, to stop him getting his head on the cross? I only saw it the once and not from an ideal angle but I have feeling they'd have been all over that too if that had happened to a Villa player in our box. Our broadcasters are becoming more and more of a threat to the integrity of our sport driven by their favouritism/allegiances and they expect us to pay top dollar/poundage for the privilege.

No change there then

"And rightly so"

Slowly falling out of love with football. Every week something happens that pushes me further away. Do these upper boards not have an ounce of shame? It’s utterly embarrassing. Man City are massive and you hate to see it. The biggest little club in the world

Chin up young Nathan. 5 0 tonight

Wonder if they'll change the rule that a penalty cannot be awarded after the final whistle

It makes a change for a rule change to take place after we have benefitted from it, usually we are on the shitty end of the stick and then the rules get changed going forward.
